“Be vocal about what you need from an organizational space.”
- Sheila Austin
Balancing parenthood and career can be challenging - especially when a senior leader tells you that your maternity leave erases all your previous experience! Tune into this episode to learn how my guest learned to advocate for herself and how this contributes to how she leads today.
My guest is Sheila Austin. Sheila is the Vice President, Learning and Development responsible for internal learning, customer learning and enablement at BlueCat.
A self-proclaimed lover of learning, Sheila has spent much of her career focused on how adults learn in a variety of industries in large to mid-sized organizations. Sheila leans in when it comes to learning reinforcement and improving people’s ability to feel connected to the success of the work they do. She has a special interest in the impact leadership has on individuals, organizations, and society at large. Sheila is passionate about leadership development as a means to positively impact the employee experience and organizational culture. She has a general knack for asking tough questions and helping people think differently. Currently Sheila brings her whole self to work and is a Mama Bear of 3 firecrackers, 1 furball and partner to the other half of “Team DS.”
