We talk about:
- The power of mentors and being seen as your authentic self
- Leading through service and investing in the process rather than the outcome
- What to do when you find yourself in a toxic work environment
The first book we’re going to tackle for the Madam Athlete book club is Mindset by Carol Dweck. It’s a great tie in to what Diana shares in today’s episode.
