Jinny Uppal is a Business and Technology Leader
And author of the award winning book, In/Action: Rethinking the Path to Results
In this episode Lauren and Jinny discuss:
What drives major progress
Leveraging reflective thinking and strategic inaction (inaction as a choice)
The mental health crisis and the importance of giving your mind a break
Default mode network (DMN) and supporting neuroscience research
Importance of meditation and mind wandering
Embracing delegation and how to develop this skill
Key takeaways:
Taking a pause or strategic inaction can be powerfully productive.
It is important to take time before meetings to calm nerves and reduce anxiety.
Infusing breaks throughout the day can improve mental wellbeing; reduce fatigue and burnout; and improve productivity.
Letting your mind wander to activate the DMN helps your brain “connect the dots” of information and come up with creative ideas.
Delegation is needed to move up the corporate ladder – it’s important to trust others and the process.
“As much as we like giving credit to action that gives us results, we underestimate the power of thoughtful pauses that give birth to new ideas” – Jinny Uppal
“We underestimate the power of our mind and our brain to come up with creative solutions to the problems we are facing.” – Jinny Uppal
“Delegation is the willingness to let go.” – Jinny Uppal

Carrie Kerpen is Co-founder and CEO of Likeable Media; host of All the Social Ladies podcast; and author of Work It: Secrets for Success from the Boldest Women in Business.
In this episode Lauren and Carrie discuss:
How to stand out with social media
Women and money
Dealing with financial anxiety
Benefits of building a Fab Personal Advisory Board (PAB)
Practicing boundaries and saying “no” more often to gain power
Failure and challenges – how you can fail fantastically
The importance of demonstrating vulnerability to demonstrate confidence and leadership while leveling up
Key takeaways:
Recognize that social media is a highlight reel, you need to find your own highlight reel that is truly and authentically you.
No presence on social media is a presence and comes across that you don’t want to be found – if individuals are looking for you, they will then look at someone else.
Women must train themselves to push past being risk averse by becoming educated, interacting with women in a safe space, and negotiating around compensation and salary while utilizing a “mental mute” to allow negotiators to come to you.
An advisory board comprised of individuals that have experience in areas that you would like to improve upon will help you enhance your life and get your career to the next level.
It’s important to not just fail and learn from it, but to be willing to share this failure with others to help them feel okay with their own failures.
“When women work together, we are so much more powerful.” – Carrie Kerpen
“You have to be really really intentional about your desire to live the life that you want.”
– Carrie Kerpen
“Failure is essential to be able to grow and you do not build resilience without experiencing some form of failure.” – Carrie Kerpen

Maggie Bidlingmaier is President of Performance Solutions with Invista (Koch Industries)
In this episode Lauren and Maggie discuss:
How women and people of color can get into more P&L roles
Growing up in the business and how you can use a sales career as a path to the c-suite
Working in male-dominated industries
The importance of mentors in excelling your career and helping you to believe in yourself
How to cultivate your confidence to achieve success
Key takeaways:
It is important to receive input from others to provide input on your leadership skills and position in the company.
You must solve customer problems to create value for the company.
Leaders must think about how they can integrate curiosity and a growth mindset in their talent and teams to drive innovation and transformation in businesses.
Working for companies that put values and beliefs first is very important to your overall wellbeing and success.
Take risks, take the journey inward, and go outside of your comfort zone to help build confidence – failure will be part of it, but it will cultivate fearlessness over time.
“If you can combine grit and curiosity, I think there is a pretty exciting road ahead for people.” – Maggie Bidlingmaier
“The fastest way of building confidence is just to get out there and take risks.”
– Maggie Bidlingmaier
