Inner Insight Consulting LLC: Ruth Hescock LPC, Executive Coach

During this episode we are talking with Lauren Hancock who is a psychologist, executive coach and speaker from Perth, Australia.

We take on some hot topics related to sexual harassment and social justice in the workplace.

Lauren shares how she specifically works with female leaders, teaching them how to “take up space,” to empower her clients to be seen and heard in male-dominated workplaces.

As always, we are using the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS) in our discussion. In the interview we identify “parts” that came up for Lauren in response to her leadership experiences. We also talk about how those "parts" assisted her through challenges of her journey.
