In this episode we discuss:

• her thoughts on leadership: “Leadership is a mindset and an approach to how you conduct yourself in your work. I believe we all have the innate skills to be a leader, it is just a matter of how we leverage them.”
• how many people have a confidence and comfort quality about them that other people recognize as someone they can trust to be a leader.
• her definition of the difference between networking and being a connector.
• some of the key concepts in her upcoming book about connection.
• her belief that “Diversity is important because it gives you a broader perspective, and easier access to people and resources.”
• how she learned to reframe the negative “end of story” thoughts and what people can do to change the negative thoughts to affirming and powerful phrases.
