Shownotes
If you lack confidence, or you’re faking it ‘til you make it, don’t miss the Queen of Swagger, Leslie Ehm, on this week’s episode of The Melting Pot.
From TV host to advertising executive to training guru for some of the biggest global brands such as Disney and Uber, Leslie has had a few careers in her time. Today, she is a full time Swagger Coach.
“Your swagger is not something external to you. It is something that you already have. And it will manifest differently in every different human being. There is not one prescribed way to have swagger.”
But the episode isn’t all about swagger. Leslie also talks about swearing and why swearing is actually important, and why people who swear are smarter and happier than those that don’t, and why you should ignore those who tell you not to swear.
“It's not that their ears are going to melt off, or that their brain is going to malfunction. It's that they're trying to impose their levels of acceptance on you.”
She also discusses what business leaders can do to lead with swagger and what they can do to build psychological safety in their organisation.
This is a truly cracking episode, full of energy and with some top book recommendations too. We really enjoyed this conversation. We know you will too.
