Episode Summary: 


In this episode, Ian Hawkins dives into the power of authenticity and leaning into your natural strengths. Using insights from tennis great Pat Rafter and his own leadership experience, Ian explains why trying to "fix" your weaknesses can leave you exhausted and frustrated—and how real success comes when you embrace and enhance what you’re already good at.  


From the sporting field to everyday life, discover how being more of your true self is not only freeing but incredibly effective.
