Description
If you've ever felt out of place or been told that your uniqueness is a liability, this podcast is for you.
Welcome to the Uncommon Leadership Podcast. I'm your host, Michael Hunter—an executive coach, author of The Resilient Tech Leader, and founder of Uncommon Teams.
With over 35 years in tech, including leadership roles at Microsoft and Salesforce, I've learned that you cannot build an Uncommon Team without doing the uncommon work on yourself.
So, every week, I invite industry leaders, founders, and innovators to explore self-alignment and help you embody a sense of certainty in the unpredictable world of tech. Because when your certainty takes root, everything levels up.
Your leadership becomes unmistakable, your contribution becomes consistent, and your presence reshapes everyone around you.
Your uniqueness is a superpower.
Imagine what you could create if you unleashed the Uncommon Hero you already are.
