What happens when your biggest failure becomes your breakthrough? In this episode of BizBlend, host Sana sits down with transformational leadership expert Robin Camarote to talk about navigating mid-career indecision, leadership missteps, and how to pivot with purpose. Robin opens up about the day half her team quit, the deep self-awareness that followed, and how she turned embarrassment into empowerment. Together, they unpack the myths of “the right decision,” the trap of overdoing versus evolving, and why building meaningful connections is the real leadership edge. A must-listen for anyone feeling stuck or uncertain in their career.
