experiences to empower other women in similar environments. We
delve into the crucial aspects of self-belief, confidence, and
understanding one's worth, especially in the context of women in
sales. Our conversation also explores the value of curiosity for

engaging with customers. Furthermore, Karen emphasizes the
significance of fostering curiosity, embracing diversity, and
shifting the sales mindset towards genuine customer centricity.
