Show Notes

On Episode 15, you will learn how to embrace your story, learn your strengths and stand in the power of your light as the thought leader you are. Dr Glory Edozien takes us on her journey to self-discovery through self-reflection and self-love. She defies the myth of self love being superficial saying that “self-love comes first of all, the identification of self and accepting who you find- working on the things you can change and accepting those you cannot.” She shares from her background and experiences of setbacks to breakthroughs, inspiring professional and business women to be seen and heard. 

“Visibility  is the art of letting people know what you are capable of and your impact as a professional. Capability plus impact equals value.” A lot of times the performance of women at work is underrated because senior management don't know them and have an inaccurate view of their career aspirations. Glory considers teaching women to be visible personal because she has experienced what it means to be invisible. “Hidden in you are the treasures of the world but you get to the work to mine that treasure, extract it and make it sellable”. Key learnings of the episode are:

  • Self-love and accepting who you are 17:27
  • Visibility and understanding the value you bring 21:08
  • Thought leadership as the basis of your strengths you want to be known for 23:30
