What does it really mean to lead with authenticity?
In this inspiring episode, Stephanie Ezechukwu, Head of Prosecutions and Quality at the DVSA, takes us through her extraordinary journey—from starting as a 23-year-old court clerk to now leading three teams handling some of the UK government's most critical prosecution work.
Stephanie shares how humility, character, competence and compassion shaped her rise, and why those same values are essential in effective leadership. From being unexpectedly promoted in her first year to leading teams that represent the agency in major courts, her story is one of quiet strength and undeniable impact.
We discuss:
- How authentic leadership transforms teams
- The power of servant leadership in public service
- What happens when you lead with character, not just credentials
- Why delegation and trust are essential for growth
This episode will challenge your view of what leadership looks like—and remind you that the most powerful leaders are often the most authentic ones.
Listen now and be inspired to lead with heart, not just a title.
