152: How One Woman’s Story Sparked a New Book Project: Interview with Ophelia Rigault


Listen Later

Today I’m excited to share with you a conversation between myself and a woman I have great respect for. Ophelia Rigault is a Speaker, Trainer and Consultant in the field of equity, diversity and inclusion.


She and I have coached together, masterminded together and spoken on the same stage together. So when Ophelia recently published her first book entitled The Caring Leader: Mastermind the

Seven Pillars of Inclusive Leadership, I knew I wanted to hear more.

Here are my Top 10 Takeaways from my conversation with Ophelia:

1.      There are seven pillars of inclusive leadership: Compassion, Authenticity, Resiliency,

Equity-Focused, Intentionally Inquisitive, Nurturing Neighborhoods and Growth Mindset.

2.      Each of these seven pillars helps us to cultivate communities of belonging where everyone

feels seen and heard.

3.      Becoming a caring leader doesn’t need to happen on a grand scale. In fact, caring leadership begins in your own backyard.

4.      When we keep equity at the heart of caring leadership, everyone wins.

5.      Using frameworks help to create memorable messaging for our audience.

6.      We all become caring leaders when we take the time to notice the needs around us, and make strides to help meet them.

7.      There’s a power that comes when we realize we all have the ability to make an impact, whether big or small.

8.      Taking that first step towards making an impact in someone else’s life can lead to a snowball effect that cascades into a lifetime of purpose-driven pursuits.

9.      Sometimes the seemingly small stories along our journey become the catalyst for our life’s work.

10.  When we share our own story, we give permission to others around us to shine.

 

Until next time, keep owning your story, following your purpose and raising your voice. Because the world is waiting to hear YOUR story!
