What does true confidence look like when you are running a global business and raising four kids?
We often think confidence means having all the answers, but in this episode of The Confident Woman, Rachel Brooks sits down with Sonny Beutler, CEO of Sunrider International, to completely flip that narrative. Sonny shares her incredible journey of growing up in a family business, stepping into the role of CEO, and why she believes the most powerful leadership tool is actually the ability to listen. If you are trying to build a successful career without losing yourself or your family in the process, this conversation is exactly what you need to hear.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why true leadership isn’t about having the right answer all the time, but having the humility to listen
- How to build a flexible, hybrid schedule that honors your work commitments and your family’s needs
- The importance of setting boundaries and why you can’t carry the baggage of a hard day into your home
- How Sonny applies corporate goal-setting strategies to her family life, including spiritual goals for her kids
- Why the work you do inside your home will always outlast your business achievements
