This is the first episode of Season 2, where we build off Season 1's theme of Leadership, and dive further into the topic of Courage. What follows are very interesting discussions on how we even define courage, whether certain actions are about courage or stubbornness, and what it takes to fill up the tank to show up courageously. In this delightful first episode, the incredible Lisa Witter and I have a lush and deep dialogue on how she perceives what courage is and isn't, and how she has created her path in life and work. Lisa Witter is a serial political and policy entrepreneur. She’s the co-founder of ⁠Apolitical⁠, a global peer-to-peer learning platform for public servants and the CEO of the ⁠Apolitical Foundation⁠. She’s a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. She is a former public servant with deep experience in gender and behavioral science and has founded numerous political leadership incubators over the last 25 years. We dive into examples in the political sphere that Lisa is immersed in, and speak about intersections with the broader gender equality space. I appreciate Lisa's candour in the examples she shares as well as the different life moments that have shaped her.
