Knowledge is sexual leadership, sexual leadership is professional leadership. That’s part of the message today from our guest Missy Garcia. Missy is a powerful sex and leadership coach for women who are desperate to escape from their dull and disconnected lives. She offers sage advice about sexuality and leadership from a raw place that has developed through her own journey of self-transformation.
She believes the world is calling for more female leaders who are strong, authentic, connected and energized. Can you be all of those things without being connected to your innate sexuality?
Missy began her journey to empowerment as a way to treat sexual trauma that happened in her own life. The power of that experience led her not only to being a stronger person but with a desire to help others.
You may not see a direct correlation between your sexuality and your success but after listening to Missy you will want to tap into the juiciness within to reach your personal and professional goals.

“Am I here to please everybody or am I here to make things better?”
This question drove our guest today, Lauren Bailey, to start her passion project #GirlsClub and lays at the foundation of her life’s work in sales. Lauren is the Founder of Factor 8, The Sales Bar, and #Girls Club, and she’s on a mission to help more people feel more successful at work. She’s helping entry level salespeople conquer cold call confidence and preparing women for sales leadership positions in front-line management.
After spending nearly 20 years launching and leading Inside sales organizations around the world, she started Factor 8 to help solve the problems she kept seeing: sales rep and sales managers woefully unprepared to sell over the phone.
In this episode we discuss the pitfalls of inside sales, mentoring young salespeople and her work with Televerde, an organization that helps accelerate sales growth in companies AND helps prepare incarcerated women for their transition back to society.
Lauren is bold, badass and driven to help women find their seat in the boardroom.
