Own Your Power: What High-Performing Leaders Do Differently w/ Kamini Ramani

Have you ever been ready for an opportunity but hesitated because you weren't sure you were ready enough?

In this episode, Jule sits down with Kamini Ramani, author of Lotus Leadership and a Silicon Valley veteran with nearly four decades of experience, including serving as a communications advisor to Steve Jobs.

Kamini shares a pivotal moment early in her career that taught her the importance of speaking up, advocating for yourself, and having the confidence to step forward. She also shares lessons from more than 100 women leaders whose stories shaped Lotus Leadership and revealed common patterns in how successful leaders grow, connect, and navigate their careers.

For leaders navigating their next opportunity or learning to trust their strengths, Kamini offers practical insights on what it means to own your power without losing what makes you uniquely effective.

In this conversation, Kamini and Jule discuss:

  • Why advocating for yourself matters
  • How curiosity can open unexpected career opportunities
  • Why strong leaders find and nurture champions
  • How empathy and accountability can work together
  • What it means to recognize when you're “ready enough”

If you've ever questioned whether you're ready for the next step, this episode is a reminder that growth doesn't require becoming someone else.

Sometimes it starts with recognizing the strengths you already have and having the courage to use them.
