021 | How Courage Can Lead You To Your Purpose As A Female Leader with Rebekah Johnson
Imagine excelling at your job, finding your voice, and asking for a promotion, only to be fired as you file for divorce. Most of us would settle into the couch with a pint of Ben and Jerry's and never get up again. Instead, my good woman, Rebekah Johnson, launched a business and became an industry pioneer.
Rebekah is the founder and CEO of Numeracle, a leading expert in the telecom industry for establishing enterprise identity using their proprietary Entity Identity Management Platform™. With over ten years of regulatory government and compliance experience, businesses have leaned on Rebekah's expertise to guide them through the ever-evolving complexities of maintaining a trusted identity in a changing telecom ecosystem.
Rebekah is an active member of the FCC hospital robocall protection group and the enterprise communications advocacy coalition chair. Before founding Numeracle, Rebekah served on the FCC's Robo Call Strike Force, and we all know about those robocalls y'all. And though these are impressive credentials, Rebekah and I had a super down-to-earth conversation.
In this episode, Rebekah and I discuss
- What happens when you find your voice, ask for what you want, and don't get it?
- What it's like to launch a startup as a single mom
- Finding your courage and purpose through building a business
- How to stay motivated when things get tough
- Why workplace mental health is critical to employees.
This episode at a glance:
[03:27] Not getting what you want is going to tear you down and bring you to a place where you really reflect on who you are, what matters, and what's essential in life.
[15:59] It was a calling for me. I wasn't gonna be able to sleep at night knowing that this problem existed and calls, especially healthcare calls, might not be delivered. That was a burden on my shoulders that I needed to solve.
[22:54] I need a mental health break because I'm about to completely unravel. I didn't get the job offer I wanted and just filed divorce papers. I'm scared, and I just need a break.
[28:11] I'm not that person that's motivated by status or money. I didn't care about any of that stuff. It's just what's your purpose and what is a legacy that you're gonna leave behind is really that I want to focus more on.
[34:29] When we're going through changes, it is going to upset the outside world because we've trained people to see us a certain way, and they need to see us a certain way because of their agendas
