“Clear Is Kind” — Why Women in Leadership Must Stop Playing Small and Start Leading with Radical Authenticity
“Clear is kind. Clear is authentic. Clear is confident.” – Brené Brown
Let’s consider this statement for a moment.
Because what if the real revolution isn’t doing more… but being more of who you already are?
This video hit me like a truth serum. I pulled back the curtain on how clarity impacted my leadership — the imposter syndrome, burnout, emotional intelligence, and the wake-up moment that shifted my entire leadership trajectory. If you've ever felt like you're performing leadership rather than embodying it, you're in the right room.
In this soul-fueled conversation, I share how I went from a corporate queen of hustle culture to an executive coach and founder of Ensight—leading women back to their power using the Enneagram and emotional intelligence as the gateway.
Key Takeaways
Emotional Intelligence Isn’t a Buzzword—It’s a Survival Skill – IMost leaders say they want to improve their EQ, but don’t even know the five original components (self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills, thanks Daniel Goleman!). And yet, mastering these is how you stop spiraling in meetings, stop people-pleasing, and start choosing presence over performance.
Burnout Is a Wake-Up, Not a Weakness – I used to worship at the altar of hustle. You could practically smell the cortisol. But when the Capital-T Trauma hit? I cracked open—and that rupture revealed my truth. Burnout isn’t a flaw—it’s your body begging you to return to alignment.
The Enneagram Is Not Just a Personality Test—It’s a Pathway to Power– When I discovered my Enneagram type through a typing interview, it was like being handed a mirror to my soul. I saw my blind spots, my protection mechanisms, my unconscious patterns—and more importantly, how to transform them.
