In this episode, we’re joined by Dima Ghawi, a globally recognized keynote speaker and leadership coach, whose work empowers individuals to break barriers and lead with purpose. As the closing keynote speaker for the upcoming VSAE Annual Conference (May 4–6 in Roanoke), Dima offers a powerful preview of the insights she’ll be bringing to the stage. She shares her personal story of resilience—overcoming cultural expectations and an abusive relationship—and how those experiences shaped her passion for bold, authentic leadership. Dima explores the importance of questioning the status quo, confronting fear and doubt, and shedding self-imposed limitations. She also emphasizes how personal growth and professional success are deeply connected, and why trust, vision, and vulnerability are essential to inspiring teams and building meaningful workplace cultures.
