Show Notes

Rupal Patel's high octane career in the CIA has taken her from the jungles of Columbia to the war zones of Afghanistan. As a young female of colour within the complex and political world of briefings for The President, 4 Star Generals,  Congress and International Government Agencies, Rupal quickly focused on leveraging her strengths as opposed to her weaknesses. Rupal is the daughter of Indian immigrants and a native New Yorker. She grew up in a loving and high functioning family where she came to love studying and analytical challenges. Her work was important for translating noise into signal. 
In this episode we discuss the ability to have critical conversations in the company of experts and specialists, the ability to lead with values at the heart of all you do which Rupal describes as Identify Driven Leadership and tactical ignorance. 
Now a successful entrepreneur, author and international speaker who passionately believes in helping people to think bigger, lead better and be bold.
