Monique Shields, Founder of Seven Pines Leadership, is back for this episode of Beyond the Business Suit Podcast! This time, she has something special to share: a new podcast, “Ambition Without Compromise,” dropping March 29th that she dedicated to Women of Color who are daring to connect with their unique & bold True North. She shares with host, Myra Herring, more about the journey that has brought her thus far — what she's learned, how she uses her ambition, and how becoming a new mother (for the second time) has not only challenged her, but has also afforded her a level of freedom she never knew she had.
This episode was originally recorded as a Soul to Soul Session in the Beyonding Community. To learn more about the community and upcoming membership intake information, visit BeyondingCommunity.com.
