Leaders Are Made, Not Born. Leadership Unplugged: After Hours Edition

The Myth That's Keeping You Stuck: That leaders are born, not made.

Here's what neuroscience tells us:
That's fiction, not fact.

### Your Brain Is Not Fixed

Neuroplasticity is your brain's ability to form new neural pathways, adapt, and rewire itself — throughout your entire life.

What does that mean for you?
✅ The way you lead today is not permanent
✅ The patterns you're stuck in can be interrupted and rewired
✅ The skills you think you don't have can be learned, practiced, and integrated

Leadership is not hardwired into your DNA.
It's built through intentional practice, reflection, and growth.
Your history is not your destiny.
You are not stuck in how you lead today.

## IT'S NOT JUST A WORKSHOP — IT'S A COMMUNITY

### Who You Surround Yourself With Matters

Here's something I remind leaders all the time:
"Your mindset is influenced by the 5 people you spend the most time with."
Think about it:
If you're surrounded by people who:

• Play small and avoid risk
• Complain but never take action
• Accept mediocrity as the standard

You'll start to mirror that energy.
But when you're in a room with leaders who:
✅ Ask bigger questions
✅ Challenge limiting beliefs
✅ Take ownership of their growth
✅ Support each other's rise

Everything shifts.
