What if you discovered that leadership isn't about titles but about taking courageous actions in your everyday life? In this compelling episode of the Rebel HR Podcast, we sit down with Ash Beckham, author of "Step Up: How to Live with Courage and Become an Everyday Leader."

Learn from her journey from casual storyteller to sought-after speaker, and discover ways you can embrace everyday leadership and take courageous actions in your professional and personal life.
Curiosity can be a powerful tool for building empathy and creating allyship, and we explore this transformative concept in depth. Drawing from shared human struggles for acceptance and belonging, we discuss how being curious and assuming the best in others can break down barriers and foster more inclusive environments. Hear Ash's insights on navigating the complexities of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) work without villainizing any group, and understand the importance of making space for diverse perspectives in conversations and decision-making processes.
Authenticity is more than just a buzzword; it's a crucial element for a healthy and innovative workplace. In this episode, we tackle the challenges of maintaining authenticity while balancing professionalism. Discover how even a small increase in being genuine can lead to massive improvements in morale, innovation, and trust within your team. Ash shares practical advice on how leaders can foster a culture of authenticity, amplify the quietest voices, and ensure that everyone feels included and valued.
