We discuss the importance of intentional living and what it means to lead with a growth mindset. We also talk about life and how it can unfold outside of our control, so knowing how to respond to it, matters. Karen refers to “The Great Resignation” as “The Great Reset,” allowing people to focus and take care of their mental well-being.During our conversation, Karen talks about how to manage our inner critic and collaborate with our inner guide. She encourages listeners to cultivate a relationship with their inner guide to reduce the noise and focus inward to lead an intentional life. Once we realign our priorities towards what matters most, we can accomplish much more. Karen gives insights on feedback and how both positive and problematic feedback can help people grow. We talk about the “now” of leadership and humanizing relationships at work to be less transactional. Listen as Karen shares the tools we need to live our dreams purposefully.As we wrap up the show, Karen talks about being fully present in one role at a time, the book she has written along with others she enjoys, and appreciating Mamba Mentality.
