In this episode:
Kristi & Tanqueray season two of Kristi and Tanqueray on the Rocks: The Trailblazers Toolkit kicks off with an engaging discussion on "Trailblazer Burnout," featuring guest Nakira Carter, a corporate real estate executive with over 25 years of experience. Nakira shared insights on navigating burnout as a woman of color in corporate America, highlighting the challenges of being a "first, only, and different" in leadership roles, and the emotional and psychological toll of tokenism and isolation.
Key Takeaways:
"When you lead with love, you challenge norms and invite others to rethink their leadership styles." - Nakira Carter
"If people don’t feel psychologically safe, you’re only getting a fraction of their potential." - Tanqueray Edwards
"We shine a light on what others are not, and that discomfort often leads to resistance rather than reflection." - Kristi Straw
