In this episode, Nozomi and Subin discuss:
- Growing up as a third culture kid and her journey into coaching.
- The concept of home and belonging.
- The feminine and masculine energies in leadership and ourselves.
- Bringing more consciousness into the ways that we lead.
Key Takeaways:
- Belonging starts with belonging to yourself. You have to find and accept yourself, if you do that, you will find belonging wherever you are.
- The more you know and accept who you are, the easier it is to lead and to allow your team members to shine as who they are.
- Creating psychologically safe spaces and allowing your team to be themselves, as they are individually, requires more work from leaders than in the past.
- You need to have empathy for the people who came before you. They did their best with what they knew. Appreciate what they did, but move forward from there.
