Creating Societal Ripple Effects by Teaching Women to Lead with Samantha Karlin, CEO of Empower Global

I am thrilled to be joined by the brilliant and generous-hearted Samantha Karlin. Known for her work in helping leaders, especially women, find their voices and manage leadership challenges, Samantha shares her incredible journey with us.    From her childhood watching her sister fight the odds against a rare disease to her dynamic career helping others amplify their messages, Samantha's story is one of resilience and passion for social good.    Throughout our conversation, Samantha details how her early experiences with fundraising for her sister's treatment shaped her money mindset and championed her leadership skills. She candidly discusses her pivot from a struggling actress in New York to a powerhouse in women's leadership training and international relations.    We dig into Samantha's unique approach to feminist leadership, emphasizing the importance of community, social change, and ethical practices in leadership. You’ll learn about the integration of feminist principles into leadership training and how Samantha's background in the arts has enriched her current work.    Her insights into transforming traditional leadership training, leveraging emotional and experiential methods, and her plans for future projects, including a keynote and books on feminist leadership, provide valuable lessons for anyone on a mission to catalyze change.  Key Topics: Taking the initiative to be part of the solution for saving her sister’s life Learning at a young age to make good things happen for yourself Early wake-up calls with finances and learning how money works Deciding between pursuing music or following in her sister’s footsteps The difficult life as a struggling actor in New York The wake-up call that pushed her to do more at 27 Learning that everything won’t always just fall into place if you follow your passion Integrating her life skills so far into new ventures The path that led her to start her own firm Combining what you’re good at, what you can make money doing, what the world needs, and your passions into one business Creating the Women’s Leadership Challenge  Using money to hire people to fill in the spaces where you don’t excel Striving to be a psychologically safe employer Going beyond just happiness in the workplace Connect with Samantha online:   Website: https://www.empowerglobal.net/ Women's Leadership Challenge: Www.womensleadershipchallenge.com Women’s Funding Network: https://www.womensfundingnetwork.org/member/samantha-karlin/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthakarlinspeaker/ Instagram: @samanthropolitics Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/samanthropolitics Register for the Feminist Leadership Formula: https://womensleadershipchallenge.com/feminist-leadership-formula/   Find more from Syama Bunten:   Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: https://syamabunten.com/ Download Syama's Guide to Getting Rich: www.syamabunten.com  Women & Wealth Catalyst Summit: https://women.win/ Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com
