You Belong in the C-Suite
You are a leader (yes, you!) in your job, in your community, and at home. You want to make a bigger impact, but you want to do it authentically as you. The person you are, not the person the world wants you to be. You are great at your job, but something is missing. You want to bring more of your passion and impact to what you do. You have big career goals AND want to make an impact in the world. This show will give you the clarity and actionable tools to lead with your values to create the impact you want in the world through your authentic leadership. With over 15 years in consulting, associations, and Fortune 50 companies, Laura Eigel, Ph.D., is on a mission to accelerate the growth of diverse leaders to lead as their authentic selves in the workplace. Laura will give you actionable tips from her career as an executive and in the c-suite in solo episodes and through interviews with real leaders. More diversity is needed in the top jobs at organizations. More authenticity. Your leadership belongs there. You belong in the c-suite.
