267. Leading Like a Woman with Barb Anderson

What does it truly mean to lead like a woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry?

Today, I'm joined by Barb Anderson, CEO of Cattnach Insurance Agency and a remarkable leader who has transformed her approach to business leadership. As a third-generation insurance agent who took over the family business from her father, Barb faced unique challenges in redefining leadership on her own terms.

In this conversation, Barb shares her journey of transformation—from feeling she needed to check her email constantly to implementing summer Friday afternoons off for her entire team. We discuss how she navigated the delicate process of her father's retirement, created a more supportive company culture, and found the courage to trust herself and her team. Her story demonstrates that you can lead powerfully as a woman without sacrificing your wellbeing or adopting traditionally masculine leadership styles.
