Paris Forest, Directory of Strategy Operations for Boeing IT & DA, on the Something Extra Podcast

Do you know where you want to go, but are hesitant to take the next step because it seems too challenging? Take a moment to receive the wisdom of Paris Forest from the beauty of question-asking and vulnerability to how to intentionally and effectively lead diverse groups in the workplace.

Bio: Paris joined the Boeing Company in May of 1999 and has filled many roles since. She currently stands as the Director of Strategy Operations for Boeing Information Technology & Data Analytics (IT&DA), where she is responsible for defining strategy and action planning for an initiative aimed at transforming IT&DA from a project driven to project managed organization at scale. 

Paris’ Something Extra: A sense of vulnerability. This will allow them to create the spaces that their teams need in order to feel accepted, supported, and heard. There’s a lot happening in the world all at once and if your teams don’t believe that you are living in that world with them, then they will retreat from you.
