How Humility Makes Us Bold Leaders
In this episode of The Polished Podcast, host Jane Doerman sits down with Denise Lee Yohn to explore the theme of "Leading BOLDLY" through humility. Bold leadership is often mistaken for being loud or forceful, but Denise shares a refreshing perspective: true boldness is deeply rooted in humility and faith. Drawing from her extensive experience at tech giants like Google and Apple and her work with the Bay Area Center for Faith, Work, and Tech, Denise illustrates how embracing humility allows leaders to step up with courage when needed and step back to serve others.
Throughout the conversation, Denise unpacks how integrating faith into leadership challenges us to move beyond personal ambition and answer God’s call with obedience. By focusing on humility, she demonstrates how boldness becomes a transformative force—empowering leaders to make lasting impacts in their workplaces and beyond.
