Welcome to another vibrant episode of the Leadership Toolkit Podcast, with your host, Mike Phillips, where we dive deep into the essence of leadership across various sectors. In this episode, we engage with the remarkable Emily Purry, a legally blind athlete turned inspirational keynote speaker, corporate trainer, and consultant. Emily brings a unique perspective to fostering inclusive and welcoming spaces within organizations, leveraging her extensive background in business management and psychology. Join us as we explore Emily’s journey from confronting and embracing her disability to empowering others in the corporate world and beyond. 🧰 The Workbench: My Key Takeaways From This Episode 1️⃣ Inclusivity Empowers: Building inclusive spaces isn’t just about meeting standards but fostering environments where every individual can excel. 2️⃣ Conversations Lead to Connections: Stepping beyond comfort zones to discuss disabilities enriches organizational culture and understanding. 3️⃣ Adaptation Is Key: In a constantly changing business environment, flexibility and resilience place visionary leaders ahead of the curve. 4️⃣ Self-Leadership is Foundational: Genuine self-acceptance paves the way for authentic leadership, driving meaningful, transformative change. 5️⃣ Embrace Your Fears Rather than Avoid Them: As a leader, sometimes you have to admit fear, or worry, or that you just don't know. It's important to address any concerns directly and then develop contingency plans for when, not if, difficulties arise.
