Part 1 of a 3 part series with a returning guest to Warriors At Work, Elisa Padilla.Who am I? A unique and open hearted conversation with one of my favorite people in my Warrior circle, Elisa Padilla. As I was imagining 2023 and beyond, I started reflecting on things, people and experiences that have influenced my thinking, feelings and my choices. I wondered what it would be like to explore those reflections with someone whom I admire. Together Elisa and I have some deep conversation and connect on our stories of personal and professional identities, how upbringing plays a part in what we become, and how loss can ignite transformation.
