"If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
Famous words by Bruce Lee, sure, but when we've felt like a stone our whole lives, what does becoming water actually look like? How do we learn to be more malleable in difficult situations? And how can we be confident we're flowing in the right direction?
Samantha Cooprider is the senior director of global leadership development at Meta – formerly Facebook. Today, Sam's shaping leaders at a corporate level, but her path to the top has been anything but straightforward. She's had to learn how to flow from a Midwestern childhood, through the non-profit world, and into the C-suites of Tesla, Meta and Google.
So how does Sam keep her mission top of mind when she's moving from one cup to another?
