It’s Time To Lead Like A Woman

In this episode, speaker and executive coach Susanne Goldstein shares her philosophy on leading authentically. Too often, women in positions of power have to bend over backwards to fit into the stereotypical “leader” mold – but it doesn’t have to be that way. Susanne will share tips for bringing femininity and strength together, for leaning back while moving forward, and for creating connection. You’ll walk away with an understanding of what Susanne calls “Stratergetics,” and the ways that, in a masculine world, your womanhood can be a superpower. Susanne Goldstein Susanne Goldstein is a changemaker on a mission to crack open people’s consciousness. A highly sought-after Executive Coach, author, speaker and industry-disrupting Feminine Energetics & Leadership Mentor, she has dedicated 35 years to helping humans emotionally free themselves from the societal norms that are holding them back, so they can build a better life and a better world. She believes that when women are truly free and empowered, the world changes. Her flagship program, “Lead Like a Woman“, helps women (and a few brave men) disconnect from “hustle culture,” and create a life of freedom, harmony and purpose.  Celeste Headlee Celeste Headlee is a communication and human nature expert, and an award-winning journalist.
