#070: Looking back on “Taking Up Your Own Space” with Honor Wilson-Fletcher
Insights: Owning your own space.
Are you taking up your own space in the world? And what does it mean, for you and your mission, when you diminish your presence through your physical movement and positioning, the language you choose or the thoughts you allow to occupy prime space in your mind?
In last week’s interview (#069) I talked to Chief Executive of the British Exploring Society, Honor Wilson Fletcher. During our conversation she shared how leaving home, and seeing the world through the eyes of those around her, had been a powerful catalyst in her mission to create fairness of opportunity for girls and women.
Looking back on our conversation, I explore three key themes that stood out for me: the value of safe space in enabling brave thinking and the exploration of opportunity and possibility; the power of servant leadership; and the importance of taking up your own space in the world.
If you’re looking to think, dream & BE more creative and brave in the change you are leading, this week’s Insights episode is for you.
