Paige Paulsen Erickson was the first female student body president at a major university, the University of Utah. She went from there to sitting on a board at a private equity firm and navigating the corporate waters of Adobe and IBM. She then decided to pursue an MBA at 55. Paige turns the typical career ladder into a vibrant tapestry of experiences. Our discussion peels back the layers on how a nonlinear path, interwoven with family commitments and personal growth, is not just possible but profoundly empowering.
Along with exploring her nonlinear path, we discuss the secrets to constructing teams that aren't just groups of people working together but powerhouses of diverse personalities and perspectives. We discuss the alchemy of 'color energies' and the richness that gender and cultural diversity bring to the table. Paige shares anecdotes revealing how early leadership roles shaped her understanding of complementing her own style with the right mix of team members to create environments where everyone thrives.
