In our 50th episode 🎉, Shelby and Belinda discuss why courage is essential in today's professional landscape, and what it looks like when leaders are radically honest with themselves when "outwit, outlast, outplay" isn’t working. 

We share personal moments of reckoning, from defining what we don't want, to realizing when to leave work environments that no longer serve us. 

If you’re stuck in analysis paralysis and fear of the unknown, this conversation can help you find the courage to move forward, even if you don’t have a perfect plan.

Also in this episode

• Should you play the game, try to change the rules, or create your own game?
• Being good at something doesn't mean it needs to be your next thing
• Finding clarity and clearing the clutter as you plan your next steps
• The courage to move forward without a perfectly formulated plan
