Leading from Within with Analiza Wolf

Racism doesn't always start in our environment; sometimes, it starts within ourselves.    Analiza Wolf is Filipina-American, who resented her Asian heritage when she was younger. But only through first-hand experience and empathy was she able to understand where she came from and why she needed to be proud of her parents.    Today, she is a speaker, executive coach, facilitator, and community builder committed to guiding leaders, especially women and people of color, and organizations to their highest potential.   Inspired by her own experiences as a co-founder of an AI tech start-up, CEO of a charter school network, a Captain in the US Air Force, a brand manager for a Fortune 200 company, and a retreat facilitator for leadership teams, Analiza believes in the power of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and helping all people lead at their full potential.    In this episode of the Fifth Dimensional Leadership Podcast, Analiza talks about the importance of self-acceptance, building an authentic network, and what it takes to be a leader and “Boss-Moma”.   Things you will learn:   The moment she considered herself a leader Impact of her ethnicity and culture on her life and career Biggest lessons learned during her time as a CEO The power of stories How motherhood changed her as a leader Quotes   "Leadership is not all about you.
