In this episode, Ismelka welcomes her friend Eileen Gillis, a past coworker (yes, Ismelka loves her past coworkers!), and they talk about it all— like going from being “girlbosses,” to now actual BOSSES!

Ismelka and Eileen discuss their leadership roles, starting with infamous Greek life beginnings, to a current corporate world. They debunk stereotypes regarding being a leader as a woman, and how to manage a group of peers successfully.

Furthermore, they talk about the importance of female friendships, community/colleague support, and leadership - inside and outside of work. More topics include having fun while working, how to “show up,” and a discussion of how we carry ourselves in our personal life which translates to the workplace. Lastly, they touch on what the future holds for woman leaders, and what it means to create a meaningful brand - internally and for the consumer.
