At entry-level, mid-level, and senior leadership positions. We need to be everywhere so we can be surrounding every industry.”“We have to open doors and invite people in.”“I was so motivated and so inspired to work on my own, have my own career, to be self-sufficient, to be independent, to be able to own and buy and create things on my own terms. That is what motivated me.”“I am in the happiest place in my life that I have ever been in. It took me so many years to get here, so many mistakes and miss-steps. And it is ok. Everyone has a different journey.”“I want women to be empowered to make choices. We should be able to make choices about our bodies and what we want to do with them. We should be able to make choices about our careers and our family. We need to make these choices with partners who are supportive of our journies just the way we are supportive of theirs.”“I had children and it turned my life upside. It was an identity crisis. I thought, ‘how can I be good at work and be a good mom?’ We have to learn interdependence.”“The world revolves around interdependence. You have to learn how to rely on others to do your job and fulfill your job. You also have to be there for people when they need help. Learn to be interdependent.”--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nikki-spo/supportSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-know-with-nikki-spo/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
