“And when we think about inclusive cultures, you know, a lot of people talk about bringing their whole selves to work. To me, that's a bit of a misnomer, I think you should show up to work as you are meant to be. And when you think about the why of the work, the diverse and inclusive culture gives you a better work output.” Courtney Williams    In this episode Priya and Advita, Co-founders of A Leader Like Me, are joined by Courtney Williams, the Communications Director at the Obama Foundation, a creative, strategic communications leader with nearly 20 years of experience in higher education, corporate, and nonprofit environments. We delve into Courtney's impressive career journey and how her background shapes her work and the impact she's making.    As the Communications Director at the Obama Foundation, Courtney dives deep into the exciting plans for the Obama Presidential Center, a forthcoming landmark dedicated to inspiring the next generation of leaders.    Want to learn more about Courtney Williams and the Obama Foundation?  Visit:  The Obama Foundation   Don't miss out!
