    Just love the conversational feel to these. It allows you to mirror your own experiences around each topic and reassess your thoughts, approach, and how you may have done it differently or analyzed it differently. Just good topics for consideration for anyone with a growth mindset.

Win the 16 - Episode 66
Q: What is your core advice for young professionals aiming to climb to leadership roles?
Build a portfolio of diverse experiences across geographies, roles, and teams; seek mentors; plan your career with deliberate three-year blocks to accumulate the required skills, and stay open to learning from every interaction while maintaining a daily discipline.
Win the 16 - Episode 60
Q: Why did you decide to attempt an IRONMAN at 55?
Because I wanted to prove that doing hard things builds confidence, discipline, and leadership credibility, and I believed the experience could be used to teach others how to push through adversity.
Win the 16 - Episode 66
Q: What parallels do you draw between preparing for an Iron Man and planning a multinational product launch?
Both require a clear end goal, a structured plan broken into stages, attention to detail in every transition, and the ability to adapt quickly when the plan hits obstacles; you must predefine the resources, timing, and metrics, then adjust as you go.
Win the 16 - Episode 58
Q: How do you balance empathy with the need to make tough calls as CEO?
She answers that leadership is about the people and the livelihoods tied to the company. By grounding decisions in values and spirituality when helpful, she can act with grace and dignity, ensuring decisions are fair and focused on long-term impact rather than personal quirks or emotions.
Win the 16 - Episode 58
Q: How did Owning Your Legacy come to be, and what is its purpose for you personally and professionally?
Laurette explains that Owning Your Legacy grew from recognizing Edlong as a family business and her own transition to leadership after a perceived heir path differed. It became a platform to share experiences, strengths, and hope, and to help others build a meaningful, intentional career path rather than simply following someone else's blueprint.
