Leaning into self-awareness and authenticity as a leader, with Charlie Ruiz Founder/CEO of CLR Connection High Performance Coaching
As leaders navigating so much change and uncertainty right now, none of us have it all figured out. And isn't that kind of liberating to acknowledge? We're not expected to have all of the answers, but we are expected to show up for our teams, to be real and authentic, and bring empathy to how we manage our teams.
In this episode of Managing Made Simple, I'm joined by Charlie Ruiz, Founder & CEO of CLR Connection high performance coaching, where we discuss all things from how to navigate impostor feelings as a leader, to bringing authenticity & vulnerability to how we show up as our teams, to examining what changes we need to make to our environment to get unstuck.
About Charlie:
Charlie is a leadership Performance Coach/Consultant and Founder/CEO of CLR Connection. He is a former professional athlete and Bay Area native, elevating leaders through mindset, communication and identity.
