Episode Description

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Rayona Sharpnack, founder and CEO of the Institute for Women's Leadership and author of, "Trade Up!: 5 Skills for Redesigning Your Leadership & Life from the Inside Out." "A leader's most important job is to reveal and shift the boundaries of peoples' thinking... starting with our own. These boundaries, also known as 'contexts' are what determines what actions we take, where we stop in executing our responsibilities and ultimately what impact we can have." Rayona coaches some of the most successful leaders in business. She has been an educator, tennis champion, manager and player for a women's professional softball team. Her masterful approach takes very complex theoretical concepts and distills them down to poignant, relevant and easily accessible learning distinctions -- resulting in dramatically more effective leadership skills for her clients. Join us as Rayona explains how "your context is your presence, your belief system, your purpose."
