If you want to expand your leadership skills, abilities, and experiences, the best way to do that is to listen to the leaders in different industries about their personal leadership journeys as well as the foundations for their leadership expertise. 

In this leadership panel, Diane Rolston is joined by Rochelle Odesser, Candy Motzek, and Laura Richards where they share their leadership secrets and how women like them succeed and overcome challenges. 

Here are the questions our guests answer:

• What inspired you to write your chapter in the book, and how does it relate to your personal leadership journey?
• What is one of the biggest challenges you’ve faced as a woman in leadership, and how did you overcome it?
• What is the most valuable leadership lesson you’ve learned, and how would you advise others to apply it?
• What’s one habit or ritual you swear by to maintain clarity in your leadership?

Here are some of the key points:

• Discover how maintaining your integrity is essential when dealing with difficult people in leadership positions
• Understand that many successful leaders in their professional lives can struggle with financial leadership, and why taking control of your finances requires addressing both practical knowledge and emotional barriers
• Learn why it's important to recognize when your career "ladder is leaning against the wrong building" and how to give yourself permission to pivot your leadership journey toward greater fulfillment
• Discover that setting and maintaining healthy boundaries is a powerful leadership skill that protects both yourself and creates a healthy culture in your organization
• Understand how being "the only" or "the first" in a leadership position (as a woman or person of color) presents unique challenges, and how building genuine relationships through curiosity and questions can help overcome these barriers
• Learn why small acts of genuine care, like a leader taking time to personally connect with team members daily, creates trust and stronger teams
• Discover that effective leadership doesn't require being unkind or adopting an aggressive persona 
• Learn simple daily practices that successful leaders use to maintain clarity
