CJ chats with Sergin David, who brings an interesting perspective, not just as a Corporate leader, but based on her personal experiences, including what may be shadows from her past.

Quotes: '00:07:30', "I totally agree with you; I think that insecurity is the number one driving force for that. If you are self-assured, if you are aware of self, and you know your value, there isn't that push and pull kind of contention that will exist." '00:08:39', "I made a conscious decision to uplift women no matter if I know you or not. Even if it's just to smile and say 'Hi, beautiful,' or 'Oh my God, I love what you're wearing'—me telling you that doesn't in any way harm or impede what I'm wearing at all." '00:10:59', "If you find that there are these persons that exist, especially in your friendships, and you may know better and you don't do something to pull that person up, you are contributing to the problem that you say does not exist." '00:19:38', "No, I feel about this strongly, and I need to be clear in how I articulate that to you, so there is no misunderstanding as to where I stand in this situation." '00:20:38', "Am I going to say you're emotional about it? No, I have to sit in that, take it in, that my approach or probably what I said to you was not received well." '00:27:14', "The other person doesn't even realize you have this issue with me, so much so that you have gone out there and you've planted the seeds that have now created this conflict with us." 00:40:52, "Self-awareness is a superpower because when you know yourself, nobody can tell you who you are." 00:41:53, "You have to separate yourself. Be aware of who you are, be aware of these people, and forcefully stay away from them." 00:47:17, "Not dealing with those insecurities within ourselves, we project them onto other women, and that might very well be one of the biggest underlying reasons for conflict amongst women."
