Today’s most effective leaders aren’t just competent—they’re congruent.
Leading with Authenticity is an applied leadership development course designed for students who want to integrate their personal values, data-driven insights, and leadership identity into a clear, consistent approach to leading others. This course takes a rigorous, applied approach to questions of leadership, social identity, and strategic influence—blending behavioral science, values-based assessments, and experiential learning.
This course is structured to be both reflective and actionable. Students will engage in professionally-led table coaching, guided feedback exercises, and narrative storytelling via podcasting. Together, we’ll interrogate the tensions between internal authenticity and external expectations, challenge our mental models, and build skills for strategic communication.
By the end of the quarter, each student will build a leadership identity portfolio and an actionable 90-day plan to implement in their internships, entrepreneurial ventures, or professional pivots. This course is ideal for students seeking to lead with clarity, confidence, and credibility across dynamic, high-stakes environments.
