4 Questions to Ask Before You Say Yes to Anything featuring Kimia Penton

What would your calendar say about who you really are? I sit down with Kimia Penton, a transformational leader, keynote speaker, educator, musician, and author of Power, On Purpose, who leads large-scale innovation, AI, and business transformation initiatives for a Fortune 10 company. Together, we unpack why time management is really identity management and how Kimia planned ahead for her empty nest season by planting seeds early. She also shares how she decides which opportunities are most aligned, why every yes comes with a cost, and the one question to ask when your calendar no longer reflects your values: Who are you afraid to disappoint?
