125. Own Your Career: Stand Up, Show Up and Speak Up (with Lisa Gillette)

Lisa Gillette is an equal pay activist, speaker, podcaster, and ICF certified women’s leadership coach. Before starting her own business, Lisa spent 25 years in Entertainment Media; the last 10 as an executive in Sports Television.

• Using humor as an approach to diffuse a difficult situation.
• Her KISS approach – keep it simple and straightforward.
• Ways to handle a situation where you are being talked over or diminished.

• Ensure you have a growth mindset and that you can leverage that for your development.
• Trust yourself to help move you forward in your career.
