Empowerment, Equity, and the Path to Leadership for Women in Public Service Part 2
Description
Part 2 of this episode continues the conversation about what it means to build a fulfilling career in public service as a woman. It explores how having a meaningful life outside of work, like coaching or volunteering, can strengthen leadership skills, build confidence, and bring a greater sense of purpose to the workplace. There's also a look at the importance of advocating for flexibility, and how making space for passions beyond the job can actually enhance performance and well-being.
The discussion also dives into what contributes to happiness at work: confidence, autonomy, and a strong sense of purpose. Community and mentorship emerge as key themes, along with the idea that influence isn’t limited to those in senior roles, everyone, including junior employees, can help shape a healthier workplace. Drawing from both research and lived experience, the episode highlights how joy, connection, and purpose can help public servants not only succeed, but thrive.
