Ep87 - Claudia Williams: From Hershey's Kisses to Curious Leadership

“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”. While those words are attributed to Teddy Roosevelt, when business coach, consultant and recovering corporate lawyer Claudia Williams shared them during her conversation, you can  just felt it from the heart.

She’s the kind of person you want in your posse. In fact, when she was part of The Hershey Company’s legal team, she actually had what she called, “The Chocolate Posse”. It was a place where ideas flowed and friendship, mentorship and leadership was always present. Or as she calls it “Friendtorship”: the pillars that make a good leader in the workplace as well as the home.

On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Claudia shares her story: 

The lessons she learned as a child in a home. One she says was filled with love, but also domestic violence and divorce. How she vowed to create a positive space personally and professionally.  And how her own child’s words lead her to make the biggest decision yet…leaving “The Sweetest Place on Earth” to follow her heart. But not before learning the secret behind the Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup.
