Amber Cabral is an Inclusion Strategist, certified coach, speaker, and author of Allies and Advocates: Creating an Inclusive and Equitable Culture. She is also the founder of Cabral Co, a diversity, equity, and inclusive leadership-focused consulting firm, that helps organizations ignite behavior shifts to create inclusive cultures.    Coaching high-achievers to transform their passions into executable ideas and content, Amber joins Sherrell to share her own unlikely path to entrepreneurship and urges all of us to be brave enough to ask the question: What do I really want?    From the role our environment plays in our well-being to thinking critically about our own needs, don’t miss this episode on giving yourself permission to say yes to YOURSELF.    KEY POINTS: - The importance of creating a safe space for YOU - Giving yourself permission to say yes to yourself - Why inclusion touches EVERYTHING - Building a company with authenticity at its core - Is there true separation in your work vs home self? - “Treat you good.”   QUOTABLES: “We don't always realize how much stuff inclusion and equity touches, and your home is a part of that.” “I am not going to have a company where I can't bring me. And so it's one of the things I teach a lot in organizations. You do not have a work person and a home person that you can separate.” “You do not have to live the life you've been told to. You can live the life that you want to.”   GUEST RESOURCES: Learn more about Amber Cabral at: ambercabral.com IG | @bamcabral - instagram.com/bamcabral   PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: Like what you’re hearing?
