Christine is my guest for the latest episode of the Revealing Li podcast where we talk about what it was like growing up on Long Island in the 1980s, her discovery that she wasn’t alone – other girls (and women) liked and excelled at math and science, how she balances life as an executive and a mom, her path to leadership, and her leadership philosophy. I hope you’ll join me for this insightful, engaging and fast paced conversation with another Long Island girl and one of my favorite people in the world. Listen to Long Island Girl’s Got Grit with Christine Dunbar, episode 3 of the Revealing Li podcast, available now for free on Spotify, Amazon Music and Audible. I hope you enjoy the show.
