Send Lauri a message

Master certified coach Linda Bucher used to wear a crown in a jail cell she built herself, performing “poor Linda” so convincingly that even she almost believed it. In this episode of the Untamed Leader Podcast, Linda walks Lauri through the belief continuum that carried her from a locked hallway of impossible to an untamed life she calls easy, abundant, and fully her own.

Along the way: the moment mid-training as a master coach when freezing in front of an audience became her clearest lesson in untamed leadership, why envy is often longing wearing a disguise, and why you can't be an imposter while you're being yourself. 

If you've ever performed a version of yourself just to keep the peace, this conversation hands you a way out.

Key Takeaways

1. Untamed doesn't mean rabid. It means one of a kind. It's what's left when you stop performing for safety.
2. Self-abandonment can look like personality for years, until life or your body forces a different choice.
3. There's a difference between believing something is possible and believing it's possible for you, and the gap between them is where most of us get stuck.
4. Envy points at what you’re longing for and being called toward, not a blueprint to copy.
5. Imposter syndrome shows up when you're borrowing someone else's script. You can't be an imposter while you're being yourself. 
6. Sometimes Untamed Leadership is as simple as noticing when you're not present, and having the courage to pause.
7. Give attention, don’t get attention: the difference between performing leadership and actually serving the room.
8. Freedom looks like being able to say no to a good opportunity that simply isn't yours to say yes to.
