EP 31: What Does It Mean to Be an Ambitious Woman?

I met Queirra in Vegas, but it’s not as shady as that may
sound… Queirra and I met at a public speaking training for
women leaders.  I think we were meant to meet, because
we were the two winners of an online speaking contest (and I
never join contests!) to attend this event with one of my
mentor-friends (and a former podcast guest), Alexia Vernon.


I was immediately drawn to Queirra’s intelligence, poise,
big-heartedness, and humor.  She’s very real and honest,
and deeply in service of women really using their ambition to
create thriving lives and careers they love.  When I
started the Naked Conversations podcast, I knew I wanted to
have Queirra on to share her story and wisdom.






In today’s convo, we talk about:






What is ambition? And how’s it different for women

Being a “triple minority: young, Black, and female”

How, and why, we must take off our “superwoman capes”

The power of vulnerability

Intuition, spirituality, and ambition







More about Queirra:






Queirra is a Professional Speaker and Certified Coach who
helps successful leaders reinvent their relationship to their
ambition. She has inspired business and professional women’s
audiences with her dynamic keynotes, TED-style talks and
interactive workshops to embrace a new style of ambition and
step into their mogul mindset.


Before becoming a coach, Queirra led teams as a Marketing
Director for more than ten years. She secretly geeks out on
(okay, maybe not so secretly) productivity, personal branding
and high performance. She holds the Professional Certified
Coach (PCC) credential from the International Coach
Federation (ICF) and a B.S. in Marketing from George Mason
University.
