You say “stubborn," we say determined. You say “quiet," we say deliberate. You say “outspoken," we say passionate. You say “bossy," we say… #ownit. The most courageous female leaders have been called a lot of things. But what can keep some down, only propels the best forward. They own it all.
Join Women Lead Change CEO Tiffany O’Donnell as she digs deeper into the power of the stories these women tell themselves. Each one with a perspective that may be just what you need, when you need it. Tactical, informative, and inspirational. How will you #OwnIt? This podcast features thought leaders, industry experts, CEOs, and senior leaders who recognize the imperative to advance women leaders at all levels. Topics range from personal interviews to tactical development insights around issues like gender intelligence, male allyship, emotional intelligence, and executive presence.
