This is a series of IGLive episodes where I, Michaela Birdyshaw (@myjoycoach), share with you some of my favorite people! You will meet a diverse group of my friends, family, leaders, colleagues, motivators, and all the things! We will dive into how they use their gifts, their gems, their passions to influence the world around them!

This episode is no exception! Rielly Karsh is a strategic thinker, coalition builder, and master communicator whose life has taken turns worthy of a memoir. She knows and honestly discusses the challenges of being a woman in a man’s world, and as a co-founder of the Go Boldly Initiative, she is determined to lead women into taking charge of their own lives.

Her take-away: Self-awareness is key.
