#054: Real Talk with Alice Katwan - Enterprise Software Sales Leader, SVP and GM of North America at Twilio
\u201cYou could have it all but not all at the same time; you have to take a step back and take care of yourself.\u201d - Alice Katwan
\nThis Real Talk is packed with beautiful life lessons on what work-life balance can look like, how leadership hinges on authenticity and empathy, and how you can be satisfied with enough.
\nIt was a joy chatting with Alice Katwan on this episode.
\nAlice has been a high-powered career go-getter the last 24 years. She speaks about how meaningful accomplishments feel, especially after initial feedback from people insisting that it was an impossible thing to do.
\nOne of her core pieces of advice is to stand firm on who we want to be, what we want to do and how we\u2019re going to do it. It\u2019s when this passion is nurtured that we find true fulfillment.
\nShe takes us through her journey of being a career-mom:
\nher experience with mommy guilt and overcoming it, her biggest \u201cAha!\u201d moment of discovering her own limitations and knowing when to draw the line, and how leadership was a product of her desire to see other people succeed.
\n\u201cYou naturally attract people based on how you treat them,\u201d Alice observes in our chat. It\u2019s a compelling reminder that soft skills such as empathy and understanding go a long way in our career paths and success.
\nIf you are career-oriented and find it challenging to juggle between work, family and personal life, you\u2019re going to gain a lot of value from this Real Talk!
\nEnjoy, and share this with someone who you think will benefit!
\nWith so much love & gratitude,
