Opening of a short video in which the speaker (Dr. Cara) frames struggles with authentic leadership not as a skill/technique problem but as an attention/polarity problem. She introduces the term “polarity” as a hidden force affecting authenticity and self-worth and promises to name the specific polarity that undermines those qualities.

What if your struggle with authentic leadership isn't about technique, it's about attention that you have never been taught to name? Let me tell you a secret. There's a hidden force that drives whether you leave from truth or performance. Pulling your strings and no one is really talking about is called a polarity. Today we are going to name the one that has been messing with your authenticity and your self worth.
