    Dr. Rosenna Bakari: Seven Exits: Leave Behind What No Longer Serves You

    Dr. Rosenna Bakari, psychologist and author of "Seven Exits: Leave Behind What No Longer Serves You," explores leadership transformation, emotional clarity, and the power of micro exits to reset and lead with confidence. Discover how self-awareness and letting go of limiting patterns helps professionals build trust, enhance performance, and create more meaningful personal and workplace relationships. "You have to have a rabbit stick for change, right? You have to have some idea of who you want to be. And that's so hard to figure out if you haven't been allowed to be. And so you have to borrow somebody else's sense of being for a while. You can change it at any time." KEY TAKEAWAYS: -Definitions of lack of fulfillment and other signs that you're unhappy -How are you getting in your own way and what to do -What is a micro-exit and how to use it to reset your mindset -Which of the 'seven exits' do most people struggle with, and what impact does it have?
