Two Bosses Who Didn’t Like Each Other: Lori Baker-Schena

Co-founder of LeadHERship Consortium, LLC Show notes: https://www.markgraban.com/mistake48 My guest for Episode #48 is Lori-Baker Schena, a professional speaker and leadership consultant based in Southern California. She has a PhD in organizational leadership and is a co-founder of the LeaderHERship Consortium. She is currently on her third career. She was a journalist and PR person, then a professor for 25 years, now she's a coach and speaker. In our episode today, Lori tells a story about her “favorite mistake,” related to staying too long in a role where she had two different bosses who not only didn't work together well — they didn't like each other! Lori regrets that it took too long for her to realize the situation was unworkable, but she learned from it. We talk about how people react to bad situations, how we can “ask for what we need” and why that can be difficult, especially for women. How can you be in a situation where you love what you're doing at work. I mention Rich Sheridan and Menlo Innovations, the movie “Office Space,” and the Apple TV+ Plus “Ted Lasso.” Also, how can we get past "the shame of failure" and "pivot to positivity"? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/favorite-mistake/support
