Leading Gratefully through Embracing Adversity
In this episode of The Polished Podcast, host Jane Doerman sits down with Ellie Nieves—attorney, speaker, women’s leadership coach, and faith-filled road warrior—to explore the powerful theme of leading gratefully through adversity.
Ellie shares her journey from navigating the pressures of New York City politics as a young lawyer to finding resilience and purpose through her faith, particularly during challenging seasons. From leading a political campaign amidst the chaos of 9/11 to empowering women leaders today, Ellie’s story is a testament to the transformative power of gratitude and grace, even in life’s toughest moments.
Key takeaways include:
How adversity can be a refining process that shapes us for greater impact.
Practical ways to cultivate gratitude, even in the midst of challenges.
The importance of aligning success with integrity and faith.
Ellie challenges us to embrace every experience as part of God’s greater plan, reminding us that setbacks can be stepping stones toward growth and leadership.
