This week’s "How She Finds Purpose" insight comes from Lida Lida Citroën. She says –
"So my advice: take a chance. Take a chance. We have to have the courage to speak up and take a chance. Will people judge us? Yes. But that's human nature. They'll judge us even if we don't speak up. Does it make us feel vulnerable? Absolutely. And we gotta work through that because the world doesn't get better if we don't get our voice out there."
Lida Lida Citroën is the author of The New Rules of Influence: How to Authentically Build Trust, Drive Change, and Make an Impact. She’s an executive coach, personal branding consultant, and reputation management expert.
Lida works with leaders in over 30 countries, helping them clarify who they are and position themselves for success in high-stakes environments. Her career journey includes a bold pivot from corporate branding to starting her own company, a move that reconnected her to her purpose. Today, she also serves military veterans transitioning into civilian careers, a calling that she embraced after an unforgettable moment at a football game.
