QUOTES
On being introspective - Katy: "I think a lot of us just go through life and sort of see
what happens and we don't spend a lot of time thinking about, 'what am I really good at?' And perhaps had I just gone straight up to VP, maybe I never would've done that. My struggle was kind of a blessing in a way because it forced me to really think about what does it take to get to this level?"
Leaning into your authentic self - Katy: "I think there was a belief, it was more subconscious, but this idea that I had to act like the guys in the room in order to be welcome. And I found that my biggest asset or one of my biggest assets was the fact that I was different. I Ihad a different perspective. I had a different lived experience. So when I really shared that and led with that, even, it was well received and appreciated."
Difference between good leadership and great leadership - Katy: "There is sometimes I think a desire to blame a little bit. And even with my former boss, I don't think this person was trying to hold me back. I think he didn't know how to tell me how to get to the next level. I think had I been showing up as the VP I wanted to be, would he have made me a VP? Probably. But he didn't know how to tell me to get from point A to point B. And a lot of people don't."
