Self-Worth and Leadership: "You will never value you like you. Nobody will value you like you." - Betty Collins
I’m so excited to bring you part two of our Visionary Awards series, an episode all about what it means to be a visionary, or to support one, in today’s ever-changing world.
I’m joined once again by two incredible guests: Jill Frey and Purba Majumbder, women who are not only visionaries themselves but who have also been deeply impacted by the women who’ve supported their journeys.
In this conversation, we dig into how Jill and Purba stay ahead of industry trends, embrace new technologies like robotics and AI, and make a real difference through projects such as STEM programs for girls.
We get honest about the challenges along the way—from navigating self-doubt and skepticism to keeping up with rapid change. And we don’t shy away from the truth: sometimes, your biggest obstacle is your own mindset.
In this episode, I share my journey, how I learned to step into my role as a visionary leader, often with the help and encouragement of others who saw more in me than I saw in myself.
Together, we swap stories, lessons, and practical advice for anyone who wants to pursue a big idea, empower others, or make a lasting impact.

Embrace Fearlessness & Resilience
Both Jill and Purba stress the importance of believing in yourself, especially on tough days. Push through doubts, value self-talk, and be your own biggest fan, even when the world isn’t quite ready for your vision.
Stay Ahead of the Curve
Visionaries like Jill and Purba are always thinking 5 years ahead, anticipating industry shifts and adapting technology like AI and automation—not just to keep up, but to lead the change.
Support & Elevate Each Other
Whether you’re driving the vision or helping implement it, your role matters. Sometimes, all it takes is the right nudge, encouragement, or honest feedback to help someone unlock their full potential.
