104: Karen Boswell: Navigating the Corporate Maze: Overcoming Self-Doubt, Bias, and Profit-Driven Pressures
In this week’s episode, I talk with the brilliant Karen Boswell. Join us as we delve deep into the vital significance of purpose in both individual and business success.
I am so grateful for Karen’s transparency in sharing her career highs and lows and shedding light on topics often hidden behind a facade of success.
Key discussion points:
- Overcoming feeling excluded and having self-doubt following a merger announcement
- Rebuilding confidence after losing personal purpose
- Blind recruiting to mitigate biases and promote inclusivity
- Building trust through vulnerability and transparency
- When to push for change or move on in leadership
- From profit-centric to purpose-driven business, the necessity to adapt or face decline
- Flip the traditional meeting agenda to prioritise people's issues
- The challenges of a large company's complexities and hierarchies
- Strategies on how to build a culture virtually
- Do things for you, rather than seeking external validation
This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative effects of leading with purpose, the resilience required to enact change, and the personal fulfilment that comes from aligning with one's true values.
Stay courageous and connected to your purpose!
