In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, I am joined by Laura Knight, a licensed clinical social worker, executive coach, speaker, facilitator, and licensed therapist with over 19 years of experience. Laura is the creator of the Black Woman Leading program and the host of the Black Woman Leading podcast. She’s also the founder and lead consultant for Knights Consulting, LLC, a leadership development consultancy that specializes in customized training and coaching programs to empower confident leaders and high-performing teams. Laura is truly a master strategist with a passion for education and empowerment.
During our conversation, Laura shared her incredible journey, which began in business and led her to social work and leadership development. She highlighted the pivotal moment when she realized the need to shift her focus from corporate work to community empowerment. Laura discussed the importance of addressing unprocessed trauma, setting boundaries, and avoiding burnout, especially among black women leaders. She emphasized the power of creating safe spaces for honest reflection and shared that self-awareness is the key to personal and professional growth.
Laura’s insights on creating safe communities and fostering self-awareness are both enlightening and inspiring. I encourage you to listen to this episode and reflect on the importance of building a supportive community, embracing self-awareness, and taking the necessary steps to unlock your full potential. Remember, growth is an ongoing journey, and it’s crucial to have mirrors in your life—people who can reflect your true self back to you and help you navigate the path toward success and fulfillment.
