Episode AKA "Yes, You CAN Lead with Baby Barf On Your Sweater"

You don't have to change who you are (or how much laundry you got done last week) to be an effective leader.  We need you to lead now, just as you are.

In my conversation with Sarah K. Peck of StartUp Parent and host of the StartUp Parent Podcast, we dig into this truth as well as:

• Sarah's (naked) swim from Alcatraz to raise $33K for charity (Brrrr!)
• Behind-the-scenes of building a business 
• Critical leadership skills that are learned from parenting
• The big component that your morning routine is likely missing
• The value of being part of a community of leaders
• How to have more of an impact while working less
• Creative and kind ways set boundaries and to say "no"

About Sarah:
Sarah K Peck is the founder and CEO of Startup Parent and the host of The Startup Parent Podcast, an award-winning podcast featuring women in entrepreneurship, business, and parenting. She runs The Wise Women’s Council, an annual leadership program for women to come together honestly while navigating the challenges of working and parenting. 

Sarah’s professional career started in environmental psychology and the design of environments. She pursued a Bachelors of Arts in psychology and a Masters Degree in Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania, School of Design. She worked as an associate on international design projects of the built environment before charting out a path in media and communications to help change the way we talk about the world around us and how it influences our behavior and wellbeing. In 2011, Sarah began consulting with Y-Combinator backed startups, and launched her own consultancy in 2013. Today, she’s the CEO and founder of Startup Parent, a company focused on the narratives we share (and the ones we don’t share) about work, parenting, and motherhood.

Sarah is also a 20-time NCAA All-American swimmer and has successfully swum the Escape from Alcatraz nine separate times, once doing the swim totally naked as way to raise $33k for charity: water. Her writing and work have been featured on Forbes, Inc, Fast Company, The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, and more. She lives in New York City with her family.
