From authority to authenticity, authenticity to attunement: defining a new era of leadership
Leadership—in its many forms—has been a throughline of Allison’s life. Early in her career, she rose rapidly in fast-paced, high growth companies, taking on increasing responsibilities that tested her sense of self / leadership presence and sense of belonging [resilience]. At the same time, she was navigating a personal journey to understand internal blocks formed by an unconventional and at times challenging upbringing and the growing demands of her rapidly evolving career.
Allison discovered over time that these two paths weren’t separate at all. The self-leadership she cultivated—the work of learning self-trust, self-respect and compassion—was the foundation making her success as a corporate leader possible.
As she rose into senior executive ranks, she did so more and more on her terms, with conviction to not abandon herself along the path of career success, but rather harness the many aspects of herself as resources to draw upon. And as this conviction grew, so did her (interest) in championing a new era of leadership, more attuned, (curious, confident, and clear).
Leadership on our own terms
We often think of leadership as a matter of exerting our influence, ultimately to ensure our control or authority. But Allison’s experience has revealed a deeper truth: true leadership begins with how we lead ourselves. Emotional mastery isn’t an isolated, private pursuit—it’s the central, but often hidden foundation of navigating complex power dynamics, creating trust, and bringing the best out of ourselves and others.
Developing our self-leadership is key to growing our judgement and perspective, accessing the wealth of internal resources to balance life’s demands, unlocking greater wisdom, and living in greater harmony.
