Quotes
[4:30] The roles that you hold in society isn’t really who you are. Who you are at the core is the values and believes that you hold dear and developed as your foundation.
[12:08] If a person is too insecure to accept certain feedback, they should never be in a position of leadership. Leadership begins with the person, if you cannot lead yourself, you have no right leading others.
[13:11] You’re taught certain principles which enhances leadership, but no one can teach you to become a leader.
[13:20] We are all leaders in our own right. First and foremost, you’re a leader not over people per say, but a leader over a particular gift or talent.
[15:45] Leadership exposes who you are. So if you’re not an authentic person, then leadership isn’t for you.
[21:51] Every leader has to go through failure in order to recognize their greatness
[22:59] Be humble, ask questions. If you’re unsure of something, never move forward until you get the right answers

Joining us on the show today is Karlene Millwood. Born and raised in Jamaica, Karlene came to Canada after her high school graduation. She is currently a life coach, guiding people towards living their best and most authentic life.
Karlene has worked in many different careers and has in the process ended up working for a diverse number of companies and organizations.
Karlene’s Jump moment
Karlene’s moment of realization and decision to become a life coach occurred in 2015. She was at the top of her career and had just transitioned from one position to another and was now working as a senior manager. It was while working at this corporate job that Karlene finally had enough and decided to speak her mind and heart out on certain issues happening at the company. The company let her go afterwards.
And after a lot of thinking, self-reflection and a little divine intervention, Karlene decided to move to Vancouver in 2016, enrolled in an intensive 1-year film school program, and the rest as she says, is history.
Potential and leadership.
No one came into this world empty. It is up to us to realise and tap into our potential, because that is where our leadership truly begins.
Once a person understands who they truly are, that’s when leadership begins. When you realise that you are just as valuable and significant as any other human being, and you have something to offer this world, then no one can ever be able to make you feel insecure about anything again. And, once you get to that place of confidence, then you start leading yourself in the right way. You bring success into your life, you attract the right people and even opportunities.
Thus, leadership sprouts from a personal level, and from that level, is when people begin to see something of value in you and they want to know how you accomplished that, and that’s where the followership comes from.
It’s for this reason that Karlene teaches personal leadership, and how individuals can improve on it and take it to another level.
