Leda Swan Is Vulnerable Without Apologizing

"My most important goal right now is to be unapologetic. I've been trying to unlearn that good-girl sensibility. It hasn't felt authentic to me in the past to be very forthright and up-front and that's something that I want to change. I work with a group of strong entrepreneur women who are very much like that, so that's something I want to work on.
It's funny, it was hard for me at first working for them because they'd commented on my softness. And I'm like, there's power in vulnerability, you know? I think I've shown them that there is a way to be soft that is not weak, and that it's OK to be very diplomatic. But I also think that I need to harness that and make it known that I'm not a doormat."
