Brewed in Iowa Podcast

Pink Boots Conversations - Episode11. Stop fighting for seats at a table you want to flip, find the 20% who will support you.

Layci Nelson, founder of Transcend Leadership Collective, marks a decade of fostering people-centered workplaces. "You can't read the label from inside the jar" is a common quote from Layci. Her company works with leadership teams on people-centered approaches to create environments where employees are happy to be there and turn their whole brains on. She advises women leaders: don't chase seats at tables you're trying to flip. Instead, gather your 20% supporters to sway the 70% in the balance, ignore the 10% who will fight you, and never underestimate your own worth. Nelson's company prioritizes frontline impact, reflecting her belief that "everyone matters."
