Most leaders are taught to narrow themselves to fit the world. But what if innovation requires the opposite? In this intimate fireside chat, Tony Martignetti shares insights from his latest book, Illuminating Hidden Brilliance, revealing how reclaiming the sidelined parts of our identity is the key to creativity, connection, and transformative leadership. Through stories, research, and practical tools, Tony shows how multidimensional thinking becomes a catalyst and why the future belongs to leaders who bring all of themselves to the table.
