325. Leading with Grace: Making Space for Different Views with Charlotte Reed #girltakethelead

What does courage look like when we decide there has to be a better way? In this episode of Girl, Take the Lead!, Yo talks with Charlotte Reed, a communications professional, community organizer, and candidate for Menlo Park City Council, District 4, in California. Charlotte shares the experience that helped move her toward running for office—and what she’s learning from talking with thousands of people in her community. We explore: • Leading with grace when people see things differently • Listening without expecting agreement • How lived experience shapes what we believe • Finding commonality in moments of conflict • Why showing up matters in leadership • Separating outcomes from our sense of worth • Charlotte’s reminder: “What’s meant for you won’t miss you.” At the heart of our conversation is a question that extends well beyond politics: How do we make space for one another when we don’t agree? And stay with us this week for Yo’s Sound Bite inspired by the conversation: 🎧 Conflict Resolution: Is Intention Enough?
