Have you ever wondered why some individuals push beyond the conventional boundaries of their fields to achieve remarkable success? What ignites that spark of confidence and courage in them to pursue roles not typically envisioned for them?
According to Emily Jaenson, a trailblazer in the sports industry and advocate for female leadership, the answer lies in the power of self-belief and the pivotal question, "Why not you?"
