Ep. 9 - The Power of One Voice: Authenticity in Leadership
In this episode of Lead Through It, Jada and Kim unpack their conversation with Aaron Polkey, attorney, community leader, and candidate for Charleston City Council, whose calm confidence and authenticity left a lasting mark.
They explore what it really means to show up with one voice, whether you’re on stage, in a boardroom, or talking with your neighbors. Jada shares a powerful moment of self-reflection about her own “different voices” and what it takes to lead without the mask—especially as a woman of color in leadership. Together, she and Kim dig into the tension between professionalism and authenticity, the performative side of leadership, and how real confidence comes from alignment, not performance.
If you’ve ever wondered how to stay true to yourself while leading others, this episode is your reminder that the most powerful voice is the one that’s truly yours.
If today’s conversation resonated, connect with us and be part of the community of leaders who refuse to lead alone.
