The Perfectly Imperfect Journey
Society & Culture
Join us as we speak to author and HR executive, Laila Tarraf, to hear about her amazing journey of self discovery. Through a series of painful life experiences, Laila learned how important it is to let her whole self be seen, to allow for the vulnerability that she had pushed away her whole life, and to give herself time to pause and reflect. One of the beautiful things about what Laila shares with us is that this was not only a personal journey, but it transformed the way she leads at work. This podcast is full of insight and deeply moving reflection and fully embodies the flow between eastern and western philosophies.
Laila’s growth and her modeling of a new way of being remind us of the Mariann Williamson quote:
“...And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Laila Tarraf is a senior human resource executive with over 25 years of professional experience. After graduating with her MBA from the Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley, she became one of the founding team members at Walmart.com.
