If you're looking for a podcast on thought leadership, often, you're facing a pivot. A layoff. A big change ahead.

And you know that thought leadership is a powerful tool to wield in that endeavor.

But there's still some challenges that make you feel stuck:
Fear. You don't know if you should bet on YOU.

Meet Yann Dang, a finance leader turned executive and life coach. She helps women in male dominated spaces build lasting confidence. With over 20 years of experience as a finance leader in corporate America, Yann has been the only woman in the room, the youngest, the one breaking barriers and defying the odds.

Julie's big takeaway:I'm a brain nerd. I loved Yann's approach to fear, that while it is a challenge, it's important to give it a listen - it may just need some calming down. Then you can move on, rather than ignoring what you're hearing! Doing so with a trained guide will expedite the process.

GIFT TO HOW TO: THOUGHT LEADERSHIP LISTENERS!Yann is generously gifting a 90-min session with our podcast listeners! While space is available, book your spot! https://calendly.com/yanndang/coaching-consultation

LIVE SESSION:For members of the network Chief, join Yann on Friday Oct 28th from 1-2pm EST for Navigating Workplace Conflict Confidently: Transforming Tensions into Triumph: https://members.chief.com/meetups/S0Xl0hv9s3

About Mitch Stein:
I’m in a period of professional transition after spending 3 years pursuing a dream 🌟After studying finance & accounting at Wharton and spending 7 years as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, I took a big leap in a new direction with Pond, a tech start up we founded to streamline how nonprofits connect with the best software, services & training to power their missions ⚡

After raising over $1M in pre-seed funding, growing to a team of 10 and helping 1,000s of users, we ultimately made the tough decision of winding down the company at the end of 2022 ❤️ Founding a company is hard, shutting one down is hard and figuring out what to do next is hard! So I’m taking some time to heal and reflect 🧘🏼‍♂️

I’m also working on a few projects in the meantime, including advising & coaching other founders & leaders interested in genuine thought leadership on LinkedIn 💞 I always do my best to share learnings, aha moments and entertaining updates from my journey here on LinkedIn - feel free to follow along if you’re into start ups, social impact and good stories 😊
