Recommendation

Author and former CEO Shaz Kahng shares six of her working woman superpowers in a Talks at Google video with moderator Nadia Gil. Kahng, who turned around a division at Nike before her stint as CEO of an activewear company, relays the stories behind the important lessons that went into developing her “ceiling-smashing” abilities, which include being resourceful, developing resilience, finding alignment at a company where you fit in, learning to advocate for yourself, and maintaining your confidence and uniqueness.

Take-Aways

  • Lessons from problematic work situations can become your “superpowers.” Start with resourcefulness.
  • Muster your second superpower, resilience, and find alignment, your third superpower, at a company that’s the right fit for you.
  • For your fourth superpower, learn to advocate for yourself.
