I do my best thinking when I’m driving.

Surely you know that feeling - when the miles and minutes just slip by and before you know it, you’ve reached your destination.

I had so much to think about after I met Amy Waninger over a cup of coffee during a road trip back to Chicago following a soul-refreshing trip to the beach in Florida last spring.

As someone who fancies herself evolved and self-aware, I realized what a blind spot I had as we unpacked my own biases in that coffee shop just outside of Indianapolis.

I felt supported, humbled and grateful as I hit the road again, lost in my thoughts and realizing what was possible as I headed the rest of the way home.

Our conversation continues in the next episode of Bound & Determined. We chat about putting people first, leadership blind spots and showing up - even when we’re not invited. Listen to the full episode here.

Amy is a diversity and inclusion expert and the founder of Lead At Any Level; you can download her eBook, 21 Insights for Inclusive Networking, here.
