Hear from industry leader Lynn Torrel in the latest episode of the WE United podcast, where she presents ‘Leading Leaders.’ This insightful talk was initially shared with WE Summit attendees in September 2023. Drawing from her personal experiences and various opportunities, Lynn sheds light on what it truly means to be a leader and how to guide others in their leadership journey.
Lynn begins by recounting an early career opportunity she had to live and work abroad. During this time, she learned the significance of modeling leadership behaviors and never asking people to do work that as a leader, you would not do yourself. She emphasizes the value of embracing change and being open to unexpected paths, which she discovered while living abroad and gaining a unique cultural perspective.
As Lynn takes us through her career trajectory within the industry, additional key themes emerge including having a plan, advocating for yourself, and leaning on the expertise of the team around you (which is especially important if you are leading leaders!). Lynn, a working mother, also acknowledges the distinct challenges faced by professional women and the importance of achieving balance.
In her closing comments, Lynn offers valuable advice to the next generation of female leaders: ‘Be prepared, be confident, and be true to yourself.’ For more insights, tune in to Lynn’s engaging presentation!
