Her Interview
Ten minutes with Lindsey
01What do you attribute your success to?
I would say my upbringing and my family. My dad would have us in John Maxwell leadership trainings as kids. He ultimately gave our family kind of that stepping stone, and we're always going to work hard, no matter what we do, and if we try something, we're gonna give it 100%, and not just step away because we didn't like it.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
I would say being honest with yourself and reflecting. A lot of times we can think we're doing really well, or we can think we're doing really bad, and we don't ask anyone for feedback. So getting that feedback to understand where you're actually at, and not just making sure you're in reality, and not floating one way or the other.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would say just being confident, and I think confident, not cocky. I think that we all have something to learn, but being a woman in business is very powerful, and when you do speak, people listen, so walking into a room and showing that level of confidence already gives you a lot of respect in a room.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
I think my youth can be both an asset and also a hindrance. Some people see a young person and they think, oh, she doesn't have that much experience, but I also think it's an asset, because I think our generation brings a new lens to kind of the business world, and everything with AI that's coming out, and technology, we kind of have a new way of thinking, so I think that that has been a big asset to bring into new organizations.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I would say teamwork and the culture at an organization is one of the biggest things that brings me somewhere, or is a deciding factor in going to a new company. So teamwork, communication, and then outside of work, my faith is extremely important to me. So being surrounded by family and friends that support that as well.
