Leadership and Overcoming Adversity: Interview with Dr. Giovanna Brasfield

In the second part of my conversation with Dr. Giovanna Brasfield, we discuss the importance of credibility for aspiring leaders and how to maintain it. A significant topic of the discussion revolves around the concept of 'stinking thinking' which Dr. G seeks to remove. She emphasizes the importance of positivity and shares personal anecdotes about how she navigates adversities. Dr. G also shares her methods for inspiring other leaders and how she manages to push forward when faced with obstacles. The conversation also highlights the importance of positive outlook, vulnerability, having a mentor, focusing on one's calling, and the balance between rest and productivity in a day. Furthermore, Dr. G shares about her upcoming book which will discuss these themes in depth.
