Do you often feel like you’re fighting an uphill battle alone at work? You might need to reconnect with the people around you to find allies, new strategies, and reinvigorated purpose. In this episode of the SM Highlights podcast, we talk with Brittany Galli, chair of the ASIS Women in Security Community, about the shared experiences, paths forward, and pay negotiation tips discussed at the inaugural Security LeadHER conference in June 2023. Corporate protection consultant Bobby Brumfield outlines the value of self-awareness as a core skill for leaders. And Jenny Brinkley, director of Amazon security, shares how to be relatable and fun to make security awareness training measures connect with employees more effectively.
