I know MANY women that actually work with her, and after listening to her podcast, she is the complete opposite of what the title of her podcast says! She is interviewing other leaders, but is a tyrannical non-supportive leader who leads by EXTREME Chaos. Anyone that work for her - does not endorse her.
Such an amazing variety of topics and guests from all walks of life. Love listening to women share their stories and experiences.
Women often minimize the hard work, connections and perseverance they rely on in their careers and life. This podcast is so necessary to share the stories of women who contribute to our world. I’m looking forward to more of Laurie’s conversations.
Do you ever look at accomplished women and think that they make it look so easy? This podcast offers very personal interviews with women as they discuss their motivations and the many challenges they face along the way. Hearing their unique journeys and perspectives makes it clear that breaking barriers is no small feat! It is a great listen and truly inspiring!!
Laurie McGraw’s guests and subject matter are what the evolving world needs now. Keep doing what you do!
