Andrea Casselton describes herself as having the attention span of a squirrel. This may be true, but she is a squirrel who is interested in the human side of technology, the people using the tech, and, being a middle child, making sure that everyone gets along with each other and the technology. We talk about how martial arts taught her about feeling underestimated and how to claim space. We talk about honoring yourself, who you are, and what your strengths are, and how you use those to define for yourself what leadership and success looks like. And we talk about crying and emotions at work, because if we are going to bring our whole selves to work, sometimes that includes crying.
