“I’ve been surrounded by strong women all my life and it never once crossed my mind that I couldn’t do anything that a man could do. And I always saw myself as leading the charge for women. It was always in my blood somewhere.” Gifty Enright on being a woman with strength and power on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.
“You have to have good self-esteem because without good self-esteem you cannot impose abundance. You have to believe that you are worth it. You have to believe that your time for yourself is just as important as the time you give to somebody else.” Possessing high self-esteem with Gifty Enright on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.
“We have diversity of thought. So previously it was the same people making the same decisions cut from the same models, and so it had to only work that way. It is changing now. Now you have diversity, you have women, you have people from an ethnic minority.” Diversity of thoughts, ideas & perspectives in the corporate world with Gifty Enright on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.
