Episode notes

"I run a team, and i run an operation. I'm trying to bring about change," he says. "And if i believe tat my requests have be countermanded, i get angry." He asks his audience: Have you all been angry in the workplace? What have you done? Do you call your friend or go into the bathroom and cry? Are there any examples of when anger has been successfully used?"

As leaders, we know we’re supposed to be authentic, but for women, that can be tricky. For one thing, it can be hard to even know what our “true selves” want with all the demands competing for our attention. For another, there are different expectations about how women should look, and behave. In this episode, we talk with an expert on authenticity, as well as a woman trying everyday to bring her best self to work and help others do the same. Guests: Tina Opie and Candice Morgan. Our theme music is Matt Hill’s “City in Motion,” provided by Audio Network.
