In this episode we discuss:

• her thoughts on leadership: “Leadership is all about helping people move forward and create momentum. It is not just about giving them steps toward their goal but also helping them gain the confidence to take those steps.”
• her strategies for meeting people at conferences, having the confidence to do so, and following up with them afterward.
• how working with people who are motivated and who learn how to take leaps are what motivates and inspires her.
• how her belief in herself and her confidence in her ability to figure things out are what guides her.
• her methods for networking that include listening for ways to help, and then doing the small things that make a huge difference to other people.
• her thoughts on diversity and the importance of exposing yourself to different mindsets.
