Topic: Naked at Work
Speaker: Danessa Knaupp
Description:
To be naked at work is to bravely bring your full set of experiences forward in service to others. The naked leader is authentic. She knows herself, owns herself, and acts in alignment with her values and principles. She doesn’t manage to external expectations, hide her past, or fear her future.
Join the River City Express Network for a free Zoom meeting as we welcome speaker, Danessa Knaupp, CEO of Avenue 8 Advisors and Amazon best-selling author of Naked at Work: A Leader’s Guide to Fearless Authenticity. Danessa will explore what gets in the way of being naked at work, what is possible by choosing authenticity and how authenticity drives results.
