Shawna Samuel on the Feminist Coaching Mindset

This week, Kavitha is joined by Shawna Samuel, founder of the Mental Offload Coaching and Advisory Practice, to discuss coaching that is responsive to lived experience of women leaders in today's workplace. Shawna came to coaching after years as a marketing expert across Europe helped her realize that her greatest potential for leadership came in the form of mentoring others to success and achievement. She shares with Kavitha how feminist coaching breaks down traditional coach-client hierarchies, explains what it means to be a "productivity nerd," and discusses how leaders can overcome "Cinderella Syndrome" and work more effectively toward achieving their professional ambitions.
