The Power of Your Story

Our guest this month is Daphne Laan, whose mission is to create space for freedom in thinking, doing, and feeling. As a changemaker with 20 years of experience in leadership and business development in Technology, Media, and Social Impact, she co-founded The Board Whisperers. The Board Whisperers help founders, boards, and executive teams thrive by transforming their most pressing challenges, vision, or strategy into inspiring action.

In this unscripted conversation with host, Tony Saccardi, Daphne will talk about: 

  • How she turned her own story into her strength.
  • How space for other perspectives can fully arise if you first make space within yourself. Who are you at the core?
  • What forms the basis of courageous leadership. 

The conversation is scheduled for 30 minutes and the final 15 minutes will be reserved for Q&A.
