Giving Up On Fitting In | Renee Laforet

Renee Laforet is no longer trying to fit in.  
For much of her young adult life, Renee was the “only” in many boardrooms. As a Black, female, C-Suite executive in tech, she strived hard to fit in.  The constant overachieving led Renee into serious illness, imposter syndrome and impossible pressures put on herself and her family.  Eventually, Renee gave up trying to fit in - and woke up to a whole new version of success. 

Today, Renee is most interested in becoming –
Becoming her own personal best version of success.
Becoming her best version of a leader.
Becoming her best version of a human.  

“What do I need to learn from this situation? What do I need to learn from this person? What do I need to learn from this challenge? It's really all about how you choose to interpret it,” Renee shares.

Renee joins me this week on the podcast for an empowering conversation on how to awaken your highest calling by getting honest about who you are - and who you aren’t.

In this episode, we’ll speak about:

- What depths Renee hit to finally wake up to the disconnect she was living

- How Renee’s mom’s guidance about being Black impacted her overachieving streak

- The power of mindset in Renee’s life today - and how it keeps her connected to the highest version of herself 

Let's connect...
