It's okay. It's when we strip things away and get vulnerable around how to address that scariness, I think that the really magic stuff happens.
In this episode of Women Who Lead, hosts Kristen Sunanta Walker and Catherine Greer Limpo delve into the intricacies of leading amidst fear and uncertainty. They explore the unreasonable expectations often placed on women, particularly within leadership roles, and how these pressures can sometimes hinder progress. Despite challenges, they acknowledge the strides women have made in the corporate world, citing companies like Ford Motor Company as examples of progress. However, they emphasize that much work remains to be done.
The conversation turns personal as both hosts share their experiences with fear, discussing how it has impacted their leadership journeys.

They urge listeners to be conscious of whom they choose to follow, recommending a critical approach to popular self-help figures like Tony Robbins.

The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to embrace their fears, understand their worth, and lead with authenticity. Through candid discussions, Kristen and Catherine provide an insightful look into the realities of leadership and the power of vulnerability.
