Episode Description<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In this episode, Julia is joined by three members of the first expedition – Laura Fleming, Aparna Uppaluri and Katrina Webb. Laura, an engineer in the energy sector, reflects on overcoming her initial reservations about women-only spaces and emphasises the importance of integrating feminine traits like collaboration into leadership without exclusivity. Katrina, a Paralympian, shares her journey from physical and emotional burnout to resetting boundaries and nurturing her well-being, urging leaders to avoid the \u201csuperwoman\u201d trap. Aparna challenges monolithic definitions of women\u2019s leadership, advocating for a leadership model rooted in inner strength and authenticity.
\u201cWe need to bring feminine traits into leadership for the greater good and a better world,\u201d Laura asserts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trio explores the balance between incorporating femininity into leadership without categorising it as solely feminine, ensuring a diverse and transformative impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
