Have you ever been hired or promoted into a new role where you feel like you have to be someone you’re not? It’s exhausting to constantly measure yourself against unrealistic expectations, to hold back from behaving authentically, or to emulate a leadership style that’s counter to your preferred ways of working. And yet despite the downsides to productivity and morale, today, it’s often a struggle to be true to yourself at work.
In this special hour-length episode of the ISG Digital Dish, we continue to dive deep into the theme of being your authentic self. What we’ve found: being authentically you is not only liberating; it can actually be a career accelerator.
Coming off the back of a successful Women in Digital Awards program, Lois Coatney speaks to two inspirational women and digital leaders, Isabelle Roux-Chenu, Former Head of Group Commercial & Contract Management at Capgemini, and Sarah Urbanowicz, CIO at AECOM. Listen in to hear them share their experiences and advice on leading authentically – both how and why to be you at work.
