theBoardlist CEO Shannon Gordon and Jenna kick off discussing her experiences serving in the Peace Corps in Senegal, West Africa and the lessons she learned about making time for joy and community, finding our shared humanity, and seeing and accepting people as their whole selves.We chat about theBoardlist’s efforts elevating diversity at the board level - less than 20% of board seats at Fortune 1,000 companies are held by women and less than 7% are at private companies - and why they believe increasing the statistics is about diversifying networks and increasing visibility.In reflecting on her journey, Shannon shares three helpful mental tools and frameworks she uses to make decisions, take more risks, navigate learning curves and consistently show up as the best version of herself.
