Key Takeaways:

“What I found is that it's been quite important to help people who are emerging leaders, and these are younger people really just trying to learn to navigate the leadership framework.” 

“The imposter syndrome is quite what I'm finding to be the biggest challenge for young, successful leaders these days. And I deal also with introverts.” 

“The biggest mistakes clients are making before they work with me has a lot to do with assumptions.” 

“There isn't just one way to be a leader, there isn't just one way to show up in your authority. There are a number of different ways you can show up.” 

“Ask yourself exactly what am I doing and take a really deep mindful exploration into why am I in this job? Why did I agree to do this?” 

“Who can I work with who supports me? Because what we want is to be reflective of people around us who say, 'I hired you for this reason, I brought you on board.' We need a little bit of confirmation-validation for why we're there.”
