What if personal branding isn’t about performing — but about becoming more of who you already are?

In this episode of Successfully Ambiguous, host Christine Brooks-Cappadocia speaks with Leigh Mitchell, founder of Changemakers, about self-leadership, career growth, and authentic personal branding.

Leigh works with high-impact leaders, laid-off professionals, and burned-out business owners to help them reconnect with their identity, rebuild confidence, and realign their personal brand with the true depth of their impact. Together, they explore how career growth often requires shedding old shells, questioning outdated leadership narratives, and learning to lead from purpose instead of performance.

If you’re navigating career change, rethinking your leadership style, or wondering how to stand out without pretending, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What self-leadership really is — and why it matters

• The “lobster analogy” for career growth and reinvention

• Why old strategies might no longer serve you

• How to identify your leadership DNA and core values

• Why interviews should be a two-way process

• What it means to lead with humanity in the age of AI
