In this extremely interesting, and motivating episode, Lisa interviews Rayona Sharpnack, founder & CEO of the Institute for Women's Leadership (womensleadership.com). Rayona has also had successful careers in education, professional sports, business, and is now a well-known inspirational teacher, coach and mentor for executives in Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, emerging businesses and non-profit organizations.

She has taken all of that amazing experience and knowledge and written a book called: "Trade-Up!: 5 Steps for Redesigning Your Leadership and Life from the Inside Out".

In this inspirational and educational episode, Lisa asks:

1.) What does "Trade Up!" mean in someone's life?

2.) Can you give us some examples from our daily lives and the people we know?

3.) Can you outline the five steps in your book that lead to a positive leadership overhaul?

4.) Share some of your favorite stories about people "trading up".

5.) You ask readers to choose and embark on a groundbreaking project. What would you say to people who are afraid that they’ll be immediately daunted by the grandness of their vision?

6.) Can you discuss what you mean by "designing a new context for one’s life"?
