Description

In this episode of The Authority Company Podcast, Joe Pardavila sits down with transformational business leader Kim Skanson, author of Attitude Advantage: The Timeless Power of Positive Perspective. Kim shares how the lessons of resilience and optimism she learned from her grandmother shaped her leadership style and fueled her career across Fortune 50 companies like Target, Cargill, and Travelers. She explains why a positive mental attitude (PMA) is not about ignoring challenges, but about staying grounded, transparent, and intentional in how you respond to them. From breaking through barriers as a woman in technology, to balancing her roles as an executive, mother, and mentor, Kim reflects on the pivotal moments that defined her journey. She also offers practical advice on leading with authenticity, managing time with intention, and pursuing growth without self-imposed ceilings. If you want insights on resilience, leadership, and the mindset that turns setbacks into opportunities, this conversation will inspire you to rethink how you show up in both business and life.
