In this episode of the Women's Career Mastery Podcast, hosts Christine and Laura welcome guest Diondra Filicetti, a professional facilitator, instructor, and TEDx speaker, to discuss the natural leadership potential in women.

The conversation starts with discussing the common self-doubt women face when applying for jobs and encourages them to push past it for greater opportunities. Diondra emphasizes that women tend to be better leaders than men due to natural skills like communication, empathy, and care, using both work and family life as examples. They discuss the loneliness in leadership and the lack of preparation and support often experienced by leaders. Diondra introduces her 3-level framework for high-performing teams: Environment, Inclination, and Activation.
