Your destiny isn’t tied to a role. You were a person before your role.
Leadership expert and strategist Christina Joy Whittaker talks to us about the "murky middle", a phenomenon rooted in misalignment and purpose.
It's something quite distinct from imposter syndrome, but is often "misdiagnosed" as just that. Christina helps us to understand and recognise the difference, and find our true calling.
