The Power of Authenticity: Why Founders Win When They Stop Performing with Miranda Rocca-Circelli [Talk & Book Launch]
Building a business requires strategy, resilience, and vision—but many founders unknowingly lead from pressure, proving energy, fear of failure, or the need to be everything to everyone. These hidden patterns often create burnout, strained relationships, poor decision-making, and stalled growth.
In this impactful presentation, Miranda explores how authenticity becomes a founder’s greatest competitive advantage. Drawing from themes in her new book Triggered to Transcendent, she shares how self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and aligned leadership create stronger businesses, healthier cultures, and more sustainable success.
This session is designed to challenge traditional leadership narratives and empower founders to lead from clarity instead of constant performance.
