26: What The Bench Summit Taught Me About Leadership

Listen Later

Leadership isn’t always loud, polished, or certain. Sometimes it looks like sitting in a room with women who are figuring it out in real time. In this episode, Kim shares the biggest lessons that emerged from The Bench Summit in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida: moments of honesty, humanity, and self-led leadership that had nothing to do with titles and everything to do with how we show up for ourselves and one another. Whether you were in the room or not, these reflections offer a new way to think about influence, ambition, and the kind of leader you’re becoming.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Why embodied leadership isn’t about having the right answers; it’s about creating space for others
  • What happens when high-achieving women let their guard down and tell the truth
  • The difference between “leading the room” and holding a room
  • How vulnerability, not performance, became the Summit’s most powerful takeaway
  • How the right community expands what feels possible
  • The unexpected (and at times, hilarious) moments that revealed what it looks to build in real time and take up space
