Penny is Managing Partner at Edward Jones. She is one of the 41 women leading a Fortune 500 company in 2021.

In this episode Lauren and Penny discuss:

• Empowering women to set sights on leadership positions
• The difference between Success and Significance
• Advice on how women can transform their lives and the world around them, and achieve new heights in their career and purpose
• How do you understand and clarify your purpose

Key Takeaways:

• Success is often tied with financial value. Instead of just going for a successful life, go for a significant life. Think about how you can impact others’ lives positively.
• Let go of the mindset of “if I can see it, I can be it” - you don’t have to see a woman in that chair before you can imagine yourself in that chair. You can be the first to get there.
• Never ever disqualify yourself. Start saying yes - even to the things that terrify you.
• Say Yes to the uncomfortable parts of the learning.
• Empathetic leadership: “Don’t execute the command I gave you, execute the command that I should’ve given you, had I known what you know.”

“Do not demure from proclaiming passionately what gets you up every day.” - Penny Pennington
