In this episode, Laura Camacho challenges the myth of the "ideal executive" and introduces a powerful framework that helps you identify your natural leadership style so you can build influence without sacrificing authenticity.

💰How to strengthen your executive presence by amplifying your natural strengths instead of copying someone else's style
