Talking personal leadership: kind, funny, outspoken, courageous. That’s what Laura Khalil brings in her work and to this episode. In all of her initiatives, Laura Khalil helps ambitious women and allies live well and lead well.
We talked with Laura about taking charge of the things we can control in our lives, recognising the things we can’t and moving forward with a lot of grace.
Honestly asking ourselves: what is the role I’m playing in my working life and how is that serving me?
And: How good can it get?
That’s when you start to write your own story.
The follow-up step Laura presents is to reframe how other people think about you. When someone sees you as less than, as a stereotype, a woman, a minority, misjudging one part of your identity, instead of valuing all you bring to the table.
Bringing awareness to what they’re saying, with empathy, is her powerful way to open up that conversation.
Holding space for them to respond, with courage and a sense of humour.
“Let’s have a conversation about what’s really going on here.”
