Lead With Who You Are
by Dia Bondi
Lead With Who You Are is a show that explores what it means to harness your most powerful, compelling, and aligned self. Unlike other shows about leadership, we’re on a journey to learn from mentors, experts, and badass people who are transforming the world – and their world – through the simple and radical act of choosing not to hide from who they are, and instead, leverage the wisdom of their true selves as a pathway to action. I'm Dia Bondi, and for the last 20 years as a communications coach and catalyst, I've helped world class leaders, entrepreneurs and social impact innovators inside companies like Salesforce, Dropbox, and Google speak powerfully at the most critical moments of their career and businesses. I’ve learned that when the chips are down – your best bet is to lead with who you are.
