Welcome to Defining Moments of Leadership, a podcast hosted by Marsha Acker. We’re joined today by guest Oksana Kubushyna and we’re exploring what it takes to really trust yourself as a leader and battle the inner critic in your mind, as you push your own edges, you make mistakes and learn and grow. I think it’s a really rich conversation, so I’m really excited that you’re here.
