In this episode, Caroline talks with Khadijah Sharif-Drinkard, author of the new book Power Reimagined: My Mission to Get It, Grow It and Give It Away, she draws on personal stories—from a discrimination lawsuit she won as a teenager to negotiating equal pay as a junior attorney—to challenge conventional ideas about who holds power and how it's built. She offers a framework for turning obstacles into leverage through strategic relationships, hard conversations, and intentional courage. Khadijah shares practical lessons on claiming your voice as a source of strength, whether you're navigating a corporate career or your own life challenges. This conversation is for anyone looking to rethink their relationship with power, influence, and self-worth in the workplace.
