The Importance of Women Speaking up in the Workplace with Leila Sabet

Welcome to another episode of “Dream Job with Danielle Cobo”!

Today, I am blessed to be joined by Leila Sabet.

Leila Sabet is breaking barriers and making a difference in professional careers by putting visibility on what is possible for young women in traditionally male-lead spaces. Leila is a Senior Program Manager in Operations and Logistics for Amazon, who is advancing in management, and holding the door open for young women coming after her. Leila’s experiences working as a young woman in a male dominated industry is what inspired her to form her Initiative, Lift & Be Uplifted, to provide young women the skills of self-promotion and self-advocacy. To address the confidence gap, and why women often struggle with visibility, she highlights research based strategies addressing workplace biases to supercharge leadership potential, and ultimately, increase women’s influence in the professional world.

In today's conversation, we talk all about how to find your voice in a male-dominted industry, stay open to new opportunities, seek out mentors who are different than you are and how to be an amazing ally to other women in the workplace. Tune into today's episode!
