In this episode of RachReflects, I had the pleasure of chatting with the dynamic and inspiring Carla Harris about all things leadership. What does it mean to be a great leader today? What are the misconceptions? Why is being authentic, decisive and resourceful more valued in a leader today than being the expert? How can we be more authentic then, and embrace our multi-faceted selves in every room we walk into so that we may connect more powerfully with others?


Carla also shares brilliant insights on the importance of recognising the unique strengths in each team member and where they shine best in order to inspire leadership in them and build a dream team you can trust. Not least of all, she also drops pearls of wisdom on overcoming the Imposter Syndrome.


Carla is a renowned international public speaker, a senior client advisor at Morgan Stanley, and the author of best-selling books, such as her most recent title, “Lead to Win”. She was appointed in 2013 by President Barack Obama to chair the National Women’s Business Council, and has been named “Top 40 Female Speakers in the World” and Fortune Magazine’s list of “The 50 Most Powerful Black Executives in Corporate America”.


This is a conversation not only for leaders of organisations, but there are also so many lessons, takeaways and quotable quotes here for all of us leaders of our own lives, as Carla asks some hard questions like “Who am I now?” and “What does success look like today?” that will motivate leaders of all kinds to tune deeper in and level up. I have personally benefitted so much from Carla’s content and books both in my professional and personal life. She is truly a gem for leaders and women of our generation.


I am so excited for you to find inspiration, ideas, aha moments and the courage to win, to fail and win again through this episode. Let’s dive right in.
