Ever wonder what it actually takes to look like you've got life on lock? Courtney Bass Sherizen, former Chief People Officer at the Wikimedia Foundation and former Director of People at Google, is proof it's built, not born, still practicing the same things she talks about in this episode after 20+ years in her career. In episode 1 of Where Do I Start? A Young Woman's Guide to Business Basics, hosts Natalia Ochoa and Ann Dorgan get Courtney to open up about learning to trust her own voice, living with anxiety in her 40s, and why real networking is about vulnerability, not clout. Oh, and she studied the fall of apartheid at Harvard, which is basically why she thinks about power (and HR) the way she does.
