Breakthrough Conversation with Arquella Hargrove

This series of ‘breakthrough’ conversations recorded in the Dash House, a cool summer pop-up space in Houston, Texas, continues as Angela talks culture and women’s leadership with Arquella Hargrove, Chief Culture Officer & Founder of Alchemy Consulting Group which specializes in transforming work cultures, one workplace at a time. Listen as Angela and Arquella exchange keen insights and sage advice about creating winning workplace cultures.  Workplace evolution does not happen overnight; transformation takes time and is the sum total of small, intentional acts of change. Arquella shares that creating the culture of any group is the responsibility of everyone. Leaders must be comfortable with expressing vulnerability, and specifically for women leaders, they also need to flex their voices without fear of reprimand. Arquella reminds us that a super power for many women is resiliency. This trait can also lead to a tendency to serve others, and neglect serving ourselves. Arquella implores women leaders to lean into the power of restoration. We cannot pour into others from empty cups.  Pivots are not detours; they are the breakthroughs needed to expand the path forward.
