Ep 136. Why Perfection is the Enemy of Great Leadership with Erin Herman

What do elevator sales, the United Nations, and authentic leadership have in common?

In this episode of Leaders Lane, I sit down with Erin Herman—keynote speaker, consultant, and all-round powerhouse—to explore the often messy, yet incredibly human side of leadership.

We talk about what happens when we ditch perfection, lean into resistance (instead of running from it), and start leading with purpose, not ego.

Erin shares what it really looks like to go from corporate suits to global impact—and how courage, empathy, and growth aren't just buzzwords, but tools for real change.

This one’s for the leaders tired of the façade—who want to make space for vulnerability, voice, and bold growth.

In this episode, we unpack:
✨ Why resistance is actually an invitation
✨ How confidence is built in the doing—not just the knowing
✨ The courage to lead with empathy
✨ The real reason groupthink can damage teams
✨ And how reconnecting to purpose reinvigorates not just people—but whole organisations

Ready to create real impact—and get a little uncomfortable in the process?
