EP35: Crafting Confidence: Empowering Women Lead with Selena Rezvani

In this episode on the Career Thrivers Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Selena Rezvani, an accomplished author and expert in women's leadership,  author, speaker, and consultant known for her expertise in leadership and workplace culture.  She is also the author of the instant Wall Street Journal bestseller "Quick Confidence" and the award-winning "Pushback: How Smart Women Ask — and Stand Up — for What They Want."

Tune in to learn how to navigate through it gracefully, especially when we're stepping out of our comfort zones.
