As a female leader, unfortunately, you aren’t alone when it comes to leadership, anxiety and self-advocacy.

This is part 2 of my keynote recording from SoCal Amazon Women’s Conference. But this time, I’m joined by 3 other incredible women of color operations leaders from Amazon who rose through the ranks quickly. In this episode, we get into:

• What it looks like to lead a team of 100+ while holding it together
• Why playing it safe is keeping you stuck
• How your empathy and emotion are strengths, not liabilities
• The importance of understanding seasons at your work
• Managing anxiety at work (We talked therapy & I shared the 2 therapeutic methods that actually helped me)
• How to advocate for yourself without feeling like you're bragging
