“[We see] women stepping into leadership as their full authentic selves as opposed to -what women have been taught often in the past - try to be like the next best male candidate.”
Amanda O’Donnell is the Chief Operating Officer of VoteRunLead, a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that trains women to run for office (and win). Before stepping into her current role, Amanda spent over a decade as a founding partner of Control Group, the company which had the winning bid on LinkNYC, transforming all pay phones in NYC into free WiFi kiosks. In this episode, Amanda discusses modes of disrupting male-dominated spaces by breaking down barriers and biases and creating pathways for female leadership at all levels; she also touches on the importance of truly valuing the unique female perspective and finding your authentic “why”.
