Overcoming Challenges & Embracing Leadership Secrets with Barb, Katherine, and Jeanine (DW306)

Attention leaders and future leaders, the way you become a better leader is by learning from others, and by pushing yourself into more personal and professional growth. 

Today, our host, Diane Rolston, is joined by three amazing leaders, Barb Stuhlemmer, Katherine Johnston, and Jeanine Becker, who are going to share their vision for leadership and their personal journeys.

Here are the questions our guests answer:

  • Can you share a pivotal moment in your leadership journey that shaped your perspective on leadership?
  • Have you faced any resistance or biases in your leadership roles, and how did you navigate those challenges?
  • How has collaboration with other women leaders influenced your perspective on leadership?
  • What’s one trait or skill that has been key to your success as a leader?

Here are some of the key points:

  • Discover how many leaders don't initially recognize their own leadership abilities
  • Learn about navigating leadership during personal challenges
  • Understand the importance of pivoting leadership styles
  • Hear practical strategies for dealing with gender and age bias in professional settings
  • Discover the power of having allies and strategic collaboration
