In this episode of Madame Founder, Christa chats with Fran Hauser, best-selling author of The Myth of the Nice Girl and Embrace the Work, Love Your Career and a leading voice for women in business. Fran shares how embracing NICEness, rather than seeing it as a weakness, has fueled her success as a top performer and risk-taker.  In fact, it’s her superpower! Together, they discuss balancing ambition with humanity, overcoming fears, and supporting the next generation of female leaders (and would-be authors). Tune in for a candid conversation about being intentional in decision making, showing up authentically, taking bold steps, and leading with kindness in both business and life.
