Episode Synopsis

In this episode, host Jacqueline Frost talks to Caroline Brown, PhD Partner at Deloitte Caroline reflects on her journey of self-awareness and leadership growth, sparked by a pivotal career setback when she is passed over for a promotion she expects to receive. She shares how this moment revealed a key blind spot: her exceptional ability to see clear strategic steps is not always matched by her ability to bring others along - assuming they share her clarity and failing to explain the “why” behind her direction.Caroline highlights the power of storytelling and analogies to make complex ideas accessible, especially in pioneering, first-of-their-kind projects. Closing the episode by sharing the mantra she lives by: “Just say yes - Life is so much more exciting and interesting when you just say yes, it’s a much harder path, but oh my goodness, it’s so much more interesting.”To get in touch with Caroline, find her here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolinejbrown/
