As leaders, we always want to present the best version of ourselves to the world. However, the opposite can happen when we don’t show who we truly are and instead try to mask our natural selves.

Where does the journey to authenticity begin and how does it tie in with removing the “mask” we often wear in public? Can this also help others become the best version of themselves?

In this episode, best-selling author, coach, and philanthropist Ray Higdon joins me to talk about becoming a better version of yourself, how to recognize if who you are is congruent with who you want to be, and how to address inconsistencies. He also shares his insight on pivotal points in his life and how he’s used them to grow and help others.
