As a leader, having both character and competence is essential to gain trust and credibility from your people, but how can we develop them?

We usually think that to develop such essential qualities, we have to go into the classroom and might not be aware that every day is an opportunity for us to grow in these areas.

In today's podcast, I share some insights on how to grow your character and competence as a leader in just 15 mins a day!

Using insights from two outstanding books on this topic; 'Leading with Character' by Jim Loehr and 'The Leader Habit' by Martin Lanik, I explain how you can invest 10 mins on character and 5 mins on competence daily.

In today's episode, I interview Jasmin Thomas, Founder of Ohana.  

A woman on a mission! Many people dream of starting their own business; Jasmin made it more of a life or death choice. After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, Jasmin quickly discovered the benefits of CBD oil. After much research, she started her own company and is now serving others with products that benefit their situation.  

Jasmin shares things she has learned and her next area of impact on the femtech world!  

We discuss her passions as a black female founder, femtech and the importance of having a vision.  

She shares the importance of women having access to good healthcare and why it is not right for women to be dismissed in the boardroom or at meetings.   

In this interview, you will get a vivid picture of what someone on a mission looks and sounds like!
