Taking Smart Risks With Carol Meyers

People, especially women, are often warned against taking risks, all in the name of preserving their safety from whatever harmful things lurking around. But the truth is if you stay inside the “safe” zone if you straight-up refuse to take risks no matter how calculated the risk is, then you’re also decisively shutting the doors to growth and ultimately, success. Carol Meyers is a board member and advisor to several high-growth companies. Drawing from her experience as a leader in her field, she talks to Michelle McGlade about the necessity of risk in one’s life. You may not realize it yet, but the next risk you take might just be the one that skyrockets you to the success you’ve been seeking all your life. Risks can be smart – you just have to have the right tools for the job – so why stop yourself?
