Rebecca Minkoff on Break the Rules and Re-Write Your Life

“Sometimes you win; sometimes you learn.”

What’s the #1 blocker to achieving your biggest goals and dreams? Fear. Rebecca Minkoff is a fashion designer and wildly successful entrepreneur. As an industry leader in accessible luxury handbags and apparel, her designs are inspired by strong, confident women. In her new book, Fearless, Rebecca rewrites the rules to share her secrets for unlocking creativity, courage and success. In this conversation, Rebecca guides us on how to let go of others’ expectations, overcome the fear of failure, and reach our goals—no matter how unattainable they may seem.

Olympian Dominique Dawes on How to Find Fulfillment

“Pain serves a greater purpose in life.”

Dominique Dawes is a three-time Olympic gymnast who helped Team USA to its first-ever gold medal at the Summer Games in Atlanta in 1996. She is the only American gymnast to medal in the team competition at three different Olympic Games and is the first African American gymnast to win an individual medal.

On this episode, we talk about finding your greater purpose and defining success in your own terms.

Confidence. We all want it. We all need it. But how do we build it? Katty Kay is the author of The Confidence Code and The Confidence Code for Girls, and has spent years researching and studying the science of confidence. On this episode, we look at how a lack of confidence—particularly for women in the workplace—impacts our leadership, success and fulfillment. In this conversation, Katty shares the magic formula for confidence: act more, think less and be authentic.
