In this conversation, Ami Kassar interviews ⁠LaVonna Roth⁠, the founder of Shine, who shares her journey from education to empowering leaders through her unique methodology. LaVonna discusses the importance of self-awareness, confidence, and emotional intelligence in leadership, as well as her experiences as a keynote speaker.

“I have been given different gifts. I shine in a different way, just like they do. But when we come together, we're unstoppable in that way,” she said. “We light up individually. We each have our own shine, but when we synchronize together, that is when we actually elevate at the highest level. We create that synchronicity together.”

The main topics of today’s episode will be how to stay focused on what you do best rather than on what you need to improve, why it is important to use your strengths and passions and delegate everything else, and how Lavonna built her business organically through word of mouth, referrals, and repeat business.
