RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – In celebration of Women’s History Month, I want to share some highlights from my recent conversation with Sepi Saidi, Founder and CEO of Sepi Engineering, who sat down with me last month as a guest on The Donald Thompson Podcast.
Our conversation wound through many topics, from immigration to education, entrepreneurship to diversity and inclusion and the critical value of personal development. We talked about gender, worthiness and self-doubt, Sheryl Sandberg, HB2, workplace culture, and hiring people who are smarter than we are to do better work than we can do on our own. For me, Sepi is a strong example of the power and perspective of women in leadership, and her work inspires me to keep learning, listening, and growing.
