Reply To: How I negotiate as a woman and get what I ask for?

Thank you so much, Omodara your reflection means a lot. Yes, absolutely that line came from a very lived space for me. I’ve realised over time that leadership rooted in empathy and presence naturally invites others in. It’s not about overpowering or outshining, but about expanding the space so more voices — especially the quieter ones — can be heard.
You said it so beautifully: leadership cannot be selfish. It must look outward with curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to collective growth. That’s where I believe real transformation begins. Grateful we’re in conversation around this. 💛
