  • a special podcast

    There are not that many podcasts that focus on the real challenges that women in science & tech face, so this show has been a great find. I especially loved the concept of re-evaluating the special skills that got us this far, and how to get around the systemic failures that sometimes hold us back.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Marc Pitman: Leadership Lessons on The Surprising Gift of Doubt - 070
Q: What is the central message of your book The Surprising Gift of Doubt, and why is doubt valuable in leadership?
He describes doubt as a natural, universal human experience that, when acknowledged, humanizes leadership and helps leaders make wiser decisions. The book reframes doubt as a catalyst for authenticity, better communication, and stronger teams rather than a weakness to hide.
Marc Pitman: Leadership Lessons on The Surprising Gift of Doubt - 070
Q: If you could go back in time to meet the younger version of you, what would surprise them the most about who you are today?
Marc explains that his core mission and values have remained consistent for decades, but he would want his younger self to see that openness to growth and reducing walls has become a guiding force. He emphasizes that he's learned to lead with the same beliefs while embracing greater openness, inclusivity, and emotional intelligence.
Stephanie Georges: The Power of Dignity; Supporting Women Through Life’s Transitions - 065
Q: How did Meraki start and what was the pivotal moment for you?
It wasn't a single moment but a gradual shift where I recognized that my own sense of purpose and balance was slipping, which led to building a space that prioritized dignity and multi-dimensional support for women navigating change.
Tamiko Nettles: From People-Centered Burnout to Breakthrough with Authentic Leadership - 017
Q: How do you approach leadership when you're dealing with personal burnout or loneliness at the top?
