As a rising fashion PR professional, Crosby Noricks spent years in environments where she was told her skills and time weren’t of value, often being passed over for the latest and greatest intern. Pouring her creative energies into a side business—one that blossomed into PR Couture—she now provides thousands of women hard won industry and leadership lessons.

We spend our time talking about why we’re tricked into thinking being a leader means having it all figured out—how we’ve both learned to take risk and lean into the vulnerability of the unknown. As the conversation unfolds, we uncover what it means to be in a season of getting quiet with ourselves after a season of searching for answers with the next coach or strategist.

We also discuss:

• The elusive search for a mentor,
• Responsible risk taking as the head of a business and a home,
• Forcing readiness, and
• Shifting our focus from systems and strategy to self-awareness and self-trust.
