Full Court Press with Perry Yeatman

Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Perry Yeatman, Head of Corporate at Save the Children. She highlights the journey that brought her to the nonprofit world, and the importance of self awareness in finding your meaning and purpose. 

 

In today’s episode, we discuss:

• There is great power in focusing on what you can control and where you can make a difference, and just continuing to move forward. 

• Work to have an incredibly deep level of self awareness. The level of success you achieve is directly related to your self awareness.

• The transformation that takes place when you choose meaning and purpose over reputation and money.

• You can do anything you set your mind to. Perry tells us, “It’s not magic, it’s work. It’s about being smart, and you can do it… forgive what you are not, and learn to play into your strengths.

• Leaders should show up as change-makers. Passive gratitude doesn’t change the world. We need people who’ve got a lot, to give a lot.
