It's stunning how a single decision can change the trajectory of your life. Join me, Beki Fraser, as I share my journey from small-town Wisconsin girl to Yale University grad student. I chose to flip my life pretty dramatically to make that happen. Why would I do that? Sometimes, taking risks and planning flexibly can open doors you never knew existed. Learn about the struggles I faced and how this unexpected opportunity transformed my professional path.
Attending Yale was just the beginning; the real transformation came from shedding rigid self-labels and embracing leadership on my own terms. Drawing from my book, "C.O.A.C.H. Y.O.U. The Introverted Skeptic's Guide to Leadership," I offer valuable insights into authentic leadership and the freedom of creating your own path. If you find value in these stories and lessons, consider sharing this episode with someone who might benefit and connect with me on LinkedIn.
