Together, they unpack what it’s like to step out of your “comfort thinking,” tackle imposter syndrome (and whether it ever really goes away), and why unconventional perspectives—especially from fields like philology and linguistics—are powerful assets in today’s AI-driven world.They get real about the challenges women face in multicultural boardrooms, whether true “sisterhood” exists between women at the top, and how language—yes, philology, not just linguistics—shapes the way we lead and connect. They talk about critical thinking, feedback that actually makes a difference, and how our strengths can sometimes turn into stumbling blocks if we aren’t self-aware.If you’re curious about leadership, cultural context, unfiltered career stories, and communication that cuts through the noise, this conversation is for you. Expect practical reflections (not just advice), stories you won’t hear anywhere else, and a gentle nudge to trust your unconventional strengths. Did you have some thoughts around this weeks epsiodes?
