When Abha Bowers became CEO of Walk West, her team started treating her a little bit differently because she's now the boss. And she wondered - since she doesn't look like most CEOs, she hugs way more than other CEOs, she's a feeler, a laugher, an empath - would she have to change her leadership style? Could she truly ever be effective as a leader?
So she hired someone who's been there, Executive Coach Ravila Gupta. Together they worked on vulnerability, navigating being the only one in the room, breaking the glass ceiling, the River of Life, and how to become a transformative leader.
Today Donald talks to both women about how Executive Coaching has advanced their careers.
Abha Bowers is the CEO of Walk West, Certified Nutritionist and Personal Trainer.
Ravila Gupta is an Executive Coach and CEO of the Bagchi Group.
