What do the importance of personal development, finding a sense of purpose in our work, and the sad reality that impostor feelings never quite go away have in common? These are three of the many topics I dive into with my guest Rachel Smith on today's episode. 

In our conversation, we cover:
- Making time to check in with your teams and making feedback a two-way street
- How a focus on personal development fuels greater job performance
- The importance of skip level meetings
- And yes, the sad reality that even the most senior leaders in our companies don't feel like they have it all figured out.
