For me, an inspiring woman is simply a woman who can fill somebody with the desire or urge to do something worthwhile.

It's someone who lives their life every day, based on the core of what she believes. And it influences me to be open, and maybe even change.

So, it's someone who creates a better world. They have to live their lives on their terms. There's something very motivating about that.

We're all inspired differently, so take some time to think about it. How can you inspire?

I need to have others around me, who are better, and have different insights, so I can be better. I challenge you to dig deep and realize that you have a role to play in that.

You need to figure it out, and then do it.

Become that inspiring woman leader.  I assure you that someone needs to see it and be influenced by you. And by the way, you might already be influencing other women and you don't even know it.

With me on this episode is Lori Kaiser. She is a chief executive, corporate leader, visionary, and business strategist with a proven track record in assessing risk and creating solutions for Fortune 500 Company C-Level Executives and Boards.

As CEO of Kaiser Consulting, Lori provides clients’ value-based services that allow organizations to navigate transitions and successfully execute critical projects.

Women need to take more risk and be braver in career decisions. Lori gives us insight on that. Her passion about this subject shines throughout the episode.

Her advice to women on how to become an inspired leader. Ask yourself what is YOUR version of success.  Be bold, take risks.  Be a lifelong learner.  And last, but not least, connect with interesting people.
