The Secret You’re Missing: People Show You Who They Are (Do You Believe Them?) — Corine La Font | Ep 68

In this episode, I dive deep into the power of trusting your intuition and recognizing “red flags” in people, as I sit down with Corinne Lafon. Corinne is not only a communication specialist but also a lively podcaster with Caribbean roots and a knack for spotting "the mask" people sometimes wear at work and in life. We talk about Maya Angelou’s quote, “When people show you who they are, believe them,” and unpack what it really means to see someone’s true self beyond their persona. Together, we share stories about workplace experiences, standing up for your values, and how actions speak louder than words. If you’ve ever questioned your gut feeling or wondered about “cognitive dissonance” and how manipulation shows up, this episode has real-life wisdom you can use right away. Don’t miss this honest conversation—listen in to hear how quickly Corinne says you can spot the truth and keep your integrity strong.Connect with Corine La Font In this episode, Corinne La font unpacks the power of intuition and authenticity in relationships and the workplace.
