This Month’s Theme

Authenticity in Leadership: Being True to Yourself and Your Team

As year-end reviews and feedback sessions approach, leaders face a familiar pressure: showing up as someone they’re not. But real leadership isn’t about performance, it’s about presence.

In this month’s Roundtable, we’re exploring what authenticity looks like in high-stakes environments and why it’s crucial for building trust and psychological safety.

Together, we’ll explore:

What authenticity actually looks like in modern leadership
How to stay grounded when expectations are high
Ways to foster a culture where your team feels safe to show up fully

This conversation is for people leaders and culture drivers navigating complex team dynamics, growth, and feedback cycles. Bring your questions, insights, and challenges.

Featuring Guest Experts:

Diana Gombe – Global HR Director & Executive Coach
Frederica Peterson – Leadership Consultant & Executive Coach

Why Join the Roundtable?

You can Google leadership tips. But you can’t Google or GPT real-time connection, coaching, and strategy.

This is for you if you want to:

Lead with confidence and clarity
Build empowered, energized teams
Elevate your impact while staying grounded in your values
Learn from diverse voices and real-life leadership stories

Every month features a new topic with curated guest experts and a facilitated learning experience led by executive and leadership coach Akua Nyame-Mensah.
