In this candid and warm conversation, Kaisa Kapanen and I dive into the importance of having introverts in leadership positions and the powerful impact of becoming the role models and advisors we seek in our professional lives. Kaisa shares how her personal view on career progression has changed - from feeling like she didn't belong in the corporate landscape as an introvert to confidently stepping into her first leadership role. One of the highlights of our discussion is Kaisa's courageous career decision earlier this year. She brings to life the challenges and rewards of building a career that truly aligns with your authentic self and what you truly want in your life. Join us for a conversation that feels more like a catch-up among friends, as we reflect on the nuances of career, courage, and the willingness to speak our truths, even when it feels risky.
