Tricia Benn is the Chief Executive Officer of C-Suite Network, the most influential network of business leaders, and the General Manager of The Hero Club, an invitation-only membership organization for CEOs, founders, and investors.  Here are some key insights from this week's show: Great leaders deliver success that matters. People are incredible. When you connect into what makes people incredible, the team delivers at unexpected levels. Values are what you do in hard times. Focus and serve the people that you want to benefit from your success. Standing still in a crisis is inviting death. When we let go of fear, we keep moving in an upward trajectory. It is not a failure when something doesn't work, it is the learning that helps us keep moving forward. Don't seek perfection in business. Have the agility to play with ideas that inspire. Leadership is all about delivering promises, not just making them. There is nothing wrong with trying and not getting there. Real rebellion is thinking differently and standing alone for something of importance. Keep it real about who we are and what we are doing. Hold on to the leaders, who make you feel like you can achieve anything. Find what you love and find the path to what you love. Don't stop, as nobody on the planet other than you yourself can stop you. Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/Oj-KG6C-1O4

< 28:30 > Co-elevation - how do you raise people up to bring out their brilliance? Everyone in the team is expected to be both a leader and a supporter. Leapfrogging: the leader allows the supporter to take the lead, then the leader supports them, the faster they understand what the hot seat feels like.

As a lover of sociology and anthropology, Tricia found out the strong application of her passion to market research. And in this episode, she'll talk about her 20-year career journey that started as a market researcher up to her present position as Northstar's managing director in the US. Along the way, she learned the value of equality in the workplace. She shares her opinion about having a conference where certain groups are free to discuss on subjects that has an impact on the diversity of their workplace (e.g. promotion of women executives, gender equality, issues among minority groups). Being a leader of a big organization, she discuss how she encourages collaboration in her team.

Tweetables: • Everybody talks about collaboration. But how do we actually do it? That's the key. • The role that men play with their daughters and helping them to understand how capable they are cannot be understated. • The biggest opportunities do come from challenges. Big Takeaways: • A recent statistics says that women are 4x more likely to think that their gender is going to impact them negatively in their workplace as compared to men — which is about 12%. • There should be a conscious effort in an organization to empower both men and women in the workplace. Do not exclude one from the other. Instead, bring them together to promote excellence. Doing so guarantees an exciting, profitable and effective work environment. • Create an environment that supports diversity — whether it's between genders or races. • Every person is a blend of male and female traits. Which means we have to encourage equality amongst the people in our organization.
