Viewing management from a clean lens

I first want to start off by saying!, Thank you for being open and honest with all of your podcasts. I am a woman manager and have been struggling finding my purpose and value in a male dominated industry. Listening to your podcasts have given me faith and hope that I can battle through the hard times and get to the end goals. I still have more bad days then good but I know the importance of working on myself each and every day.
