Welcome to Business Casual. I am Mihae Ahn, your host and author of "The Stories We Tell" and "Perfectly Incomplete".Business Casual brings you unfiltered conversations with badass, inspiring, highly accomplished women leaders who are changing the game. I am passionate about and believe in the power of sharing stories, our authentic, raw, and incomplete stories, getting beyond the polished LinkedIn profiles to the real humans behind the titles.My guest today is Pascale Maplestone, founder and CEO of The Benefit Code. Pascale is an inspiring entrepreneur who finds making her vision become a reality exciting. That statement gave me goosebumps, and I made special note of it.Some key takeaways from our chat include:Don't wait to be discovered. Opportunities are created, not given.We can't do everything well all at the same time. Prioritization is important.Positive self-talk helps us grow and overcome imposter syndrome.I love how authentic Pascale is and how true she remains to herself. I very much enjoyed our conversation and hope you enjoy as well.Music: "Come Out Tonight" by Vicki Vox (via Epidemic Sound)Connect with me on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. Visit my Website.
