Claudia Chan is a leadership and culture expert, author, and the creator of S.H.E. Summit, an award-winning leadership conference that has helped over 100 organizations accelerate diversity and inclusion in their workplace while transforming their company culture as well as their community. She has helped thousands of women advance their careers and reach their highest potential. Claudia was recently named as one of 8 UN Women Champions for Innovation. Additionally, she has been recognized as the “Richard Branson of women’s empowerment” by Fast Company.
Claudia and I discuss the story behind the development of S.H.E. Summit and how women can achieve their highest potential. We dive into her definition of the term “leadership” and why it’s much more than leading your team, your company, and your revenue. Claudia shares why she believes we need to redefine leadership, why it’s crucial for startups and entrepreneurs to develop their leadership skills, and why women need to think and dream big. We also talk about why she believes your potential is limitless and how your confidence, courage, and community impact your ability to achieve your potential.
“Your schedule is less about what you get done and more about who you want to become.” - Claudia Chan
