The Key to Confidence & Representation: Angelina Darrisaw’s Journey from Pageantry to Award-Winning Executive Coach

🔥 Quotable Moment: “I’ve had to unlearn being afraid of difficult conversations, how to embrace conflict in a healthy way and stop putting things off that I’m afraid of, like the hard conversations and feedback.” 

In this episode of Everyday Leadership, I am joined by Angelina Darrisaw, an award-winning entrepreneur, workplace inclusion champion and Founder of C-Suite Coach, dedicated to helping organizations build high-performing, inclusive and trusted destinations.
