Leadership Beyond the Title
Leadership Beyond Title Podcast is hosted by TaSheena Braxton. This podcast is for Women of Color who are looking for different ways to lead without the burnout and without the politics that come with formal titles. This podcast aims to disrupt the industry standard that titles make leaders - because they don't. Making an impact, providing value and building and nurturing relationships do. I know what it means to not be considered a leader in the absence of a formal title and having to lead without authority to grow my visibility and influence. This podcast will delve into topics to help you go from untapped, unseen and underrepresented to building movements and leading beyond the title.
