From Closet to Corner Office: All Pride, No Ego with Jim Fielding

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and inspirational leadership with Jim Fielding, the quintessential queer executive, who opens the pages of his life in "All Pride, No Ego." During his impressive corporate career, he has been president of Disney Stores and CEO of Clair"s, but it"s the deeply human experiences that shape his narrative. As we peek into Jim"s personal journals that paved the way for his book, we uncover the profound influence of authenticity in both personal triumphs and professional endeavors. His story isn"t only about climbing the corporate ladder; it"s a lesson in finding one"s identity amidst the towering expectations of society and the corporate world. The conversation takes us through the corridors of Jim"s past—from the art of retail perfection at The Gap to the enchanting leadership at Disney Store. We follow his path of coming out, the familial strains it initially caused, and the subsequent, heartfelt transformation into a network of support. Jim"s personal anecdotes illustrate the struggles and victories of living authentically and how they profoundly enrich one"s approach to leadership. We also celebrate the release of "All Pride, No Ego," a must-read for anyone on a quest for authenticity in life and leadership.
