Noteworthy Quotes from This Episode

“Getting comfortable with being vulnerable is really important. I think high performers are focused on perfection and their outward view of how others view them. That’s not really what people want from a leader. They want to be able to connect on how they’re the same.

“Be flexible in the opportunities that are presented to you.”

“There was a 2020 report published by KPMG from their Women’s Leadership Summit. It reported that 75% of female executives have experienced what is known as the imposter syndrome.”

“This imposter syndrome is a big thing for me.”

“Be sure you’re having fun. Titles are meaningless if you don’t love going to work every day.”

“Make sure you care, if you don’t care, it’s going to be really hard to have a voice.”

“Even if it’s not the right call, it was the right call at the time.”

“Life’s a journey, it is not perfect, and that’s okay. It’s much better for it to be real.”
