Lessons from Leaders: Featured Guest Shawna Bader-Blau, Executive Director of the Solidarity Center

This week I sit down with Shawna Bader-Blau, who leads the Solidarity Center, and dive into the uncomfortable. I am inspired by Shawna's intention and interest in experiencing the deepest discomfort in an effort to grow. "I have paused a lot this year. I have taken moments to look and evaluate and say, there is racism, there is feminism, there is so much of this in our society.... I take time in that discomfort, I hear it, I learn from it, I take a minute to be in it so I can feel the importance of it."Shawna's boldness and courage are two things I would love for you to take with you in your day and decision making. Thank you so much to her for sitting down with me to talk through the messy middle we find ourselves in. 00:00 - 02:30 | Introduction & Check in 02:30 - 4:00 | Learned through the Pandemic, Racial Injustice, Hardship 4:00 - 10:00 | Importance of Connection 10:00 - 15:30  | Weakness Spotlighting 15:30 - 20:00 | Standing in Discomfort 20:00 - 25:00 | Leaders Lesson in Courage  25:00 - 27:00 | Closing
