679 The Smart Leader’s Dilemma: Why Intelligence Isn’t Enough

Share This Post

Show Summary:

This week, I’m exploring the profound connection between authentic leadership and finding your voice as a speaker – the first episode in a three-part series that challenges everything we’ve been taught about what makes an effective leader.

I share the story of a brilliant CEO who, despite having an amazing intellect and an incredible track record, felt disconnected from her team and audiences when she spoke. 

I also reveal insights from my upcoming book, Being Smart is Stupid: Why Embracing the Wisdom of Your Buddha Nature is the Secret to Great Leadership.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

  • Why being smart and being wise are two completely different things – and how this shows up when leaders step onto any stage
  • The missing piece that separates leaders who can run organizations from those who can truly inspire and move people to action
  • How speaking from your “Buddha nature” – your wisest self – transforms both your message and your leadership presence
  • Four concrete steps you can implement today to align your leadership with your authentic voice as a speaker
