Ep #145: Natural Leadership with Dr. Sweta

Speak Up. Show Up.

An essential element of becoming unleashed is knowing that we are leashed up in the first place. In this rich, engaging conversation with Dr. Sweta Chawla, we get to hear her story of going from a traditional, academic, high-achieving background to where she is today, living and working in her brilliance.

Going from Pharmacist and professor to Leadership Coach helping leaders, entrepreneurs and other professionals step into their own Natural Leadership (in the work and their life) was not a straight line, of course. But has been and continues to be one full of learning, growth and many tools to share.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What inspired Dr. Sweta’s sabbatical from academia all those years ago - and the fascinating shifts that space and time inspired in her life and career.
• How curiosity and experimentation has served her work personally and for her client in important ways.
• The interplay of identity and personal and professional growth
• How to think about creating your own trajectory for your life and work
