I mimicked them. I adopted their sharp, decisive, and often confrontational style. I thought that to lead was to be the loudest, toughest person in the room.



The feedback I got was a wake-up call. I was told I was too assertive and too aggressive.

At first, it felt like a double standard. But I realized the real problem was that I wasn't embracing my authenticity.
