Simply Complex: Leading out of Authenticity

by Rochelle Armstrong

Creating personas and code-switching is far beyond anything you've ever had to do. From the workplace to the classroom, at church, or social events, you perfectly fit-in, feeling comfortable in your skin, or do you? Simply Leading out of Authenticity uses a twelve-pillar model to enable self-improvement, leadership development, and/or team building. A leader has the power to influence another person's actions or decisions, but it is up to the individual to choose how they will show up. As a leader, one of your most significant responsibilities is to create a physically and mentally safe, healthy, and inclusive environment for people to thrive. After spending almost a quarter-century in a work environment where I felt my drive, creativity, voice, and authenticity gradually dissipate, I was motivated to write a book based on real-life experiences to help guide people to lead out of authenticity. When you embrace your true identity, no one can shame you, silence you, or define you. Unmask your persona and show the world the best of you.

About the author

Hello, reader! I'm Rochelle Armstrong, and I'm driven by love, hope, and compassion. I believe that all people are created equal and have a purpose. My passions include mentoring, women empowerment, and social justice. I enjoy long walks on a beautiful day and reading, journaling, and writing, sipping on a hot cup of coffee. When I want to escape reality but can't get away on a family vacation, I reset and recharge by watching a rom-com, sci-fi, or superhero movie/show while savoring every bite of a favorite slice of cake or cupcake. I've been married to my husband for almost 20 years, and we have three children, a grandson and an aging Shih Tzu. My focus for 2021 is faith, family, and purpose.
