Loading player...
In this episode of The One-Eyed Man, I sit down with Charlotte Otter. Charlotte is the author of the brand new book We Need New Leaders, host of the Speech Bubbles podcast, and a powerhouse in executive communications. Her book is a bold and visionary work that helps leaders from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds master reputation management as a bridge to career success.
Charlotte’s also a two-time novelist, poet, journalist, advisor, and former corporate executive who now coaches emerging leaders into their next big roles.
We talk about the origins of We Need New Leaders, her vision for a new dimension of leadership, and practical steps you can take to accelerate your own leadership journey (regardless of where it - or you - started out).
