Your hosts Dee Martin and Caitlin Sickles are joined by Beverly Kirk, a fellow and director for outreach in the CSIS International Security Program and director of the CSIS Smart Women, Smart Power Initiative. Topics include: the role of social media and the internet in working with women entrepreneurs and women leaders around the world, how Beverly is using the skills that she learned as a journalist in her current roles, and the importance of normalizing women as policy experts in foreign policy, national security, international business, and development. Also, Beverly shares the advice that people should shed their fear of failure, and instead they should fail fast and fail forward.
