#249 - Women's Leadership Council

In this episode, we're joined by the inspiring voices of Alison Overseth, Gisele Castro, and Erica Hamilton at The Women's Leadership Council. Our discussion centers around the dynamic landscape of leadership, highlighting our personal experiences, insights, and the ever-important journey toward diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. We’ll dive into topics that are pertinent for any woman pursuing a career in leadership, specifically current and future CEOs and EDs. Join us as we get answers to the following questions: What’s the importance of defining a North Star to guide your decisions and actions? How do you maintain and balance your peace and well-being in such a demanding job?  What mental shifts and practices are necessary for leading an organization?  What bright spots and challenges will we see as the next generation enters the workforce?  What are some hard-earned tips for recruiting, managing, and changing your board? And how can we drive authentic change through cultural shifts and ongoing DEI efforts? “[H]ow much are we pursuing excellence and how are we passing on what we have learned to another group of people? [...] As an organization that at one point was not so visible and now it is, it comes with different pressure points… I didn't know I signed up for that. I did, I actually did by being a women leader.” Gisele Castro, CEO of exalt Important Links: http://exaltyouth.org http://www.pasesetter.org https://www.memoinevergot.com/
