    From Stuck to Authentically ALIGNED ft. Tamar Stolz
    2025/05/21
    Have things not been working out for you lately? Like you're stuck, and you know deep down that something needs to shift?

    If you're here, give yourself a pat on the back because you've already taken the first step to embracing change.

    First off, I'd like to welcome you to this episode of the Uncommon Leadership Podcast, where I interview Tamar Stolz, a leadership and business strategy coach, and deliberate on the importance of bringing one's authentic self to everything they do.

    Identifying your strengths can help you reframe setbacks, overcome self-doubt, and self-comparisons. It can also help you ditch the one-size-fits-all approach and create strategies that work for you!

    Tamar addresses these topics head-on, sharing her powerful personal experiences with overcoming self-doubt. She also introduces her signature "ALIGN" framework, which focuses on strategic alignment and can help you navigate through uncertainty.

    But it all starts with self-awareness. Change begins when you acknowledge and step into your authentic self.

    To close, I'd like to leave you with this timeless wisdom: Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.

    If you're ready to make that change and build a path that's truly yours, this episode provides the tools and frameworks you need to get started.

    And if you still need help, we're just one text away!

    Kevin was surprised when learned he had passed his college accounting exam with flying colors.

Turns out, his professor agreed.
