for being here! Starting off, can you share a little bit about your career&nbsp;and&nbsp;journey into leadership?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-73566121777ac19259e957bddd9ebd85\"><strong>Lisette:<\/strong>&nbsp;Indeed.&nbsp;I&#8217;m&nbsp;thrilled to be&nbsp;part of this&nbsp;Women in Research&nbsp;initiative&nbsp;and share a little about the path that brought me here. I started&nbsp;my career in FMCG marketing with Unilever &amp; Friesland Campina,&nbsp;so&nbsp;I&#8217;ve&nbsp;also seen market research from the client side. I joined&nbsp;MetrixLab&nbsp;(now&nbsp;Toluna)&nbsp;14 years ago, when the company had just 150 employees and no formal marketing department. I was brought in to build the marketing team from scratch.&nbsp;What started as a one-person&nbsp;function,&nbsp;working on basic marketing and design,&nbsp;bloomed into a global department&nbsp;managing&nbsp;brand, marketing, and communications.&nbsp;Watching the company grow into what it is today has been incredibly rewarding. I would say my leadership journey grew with the organization itself. And what about you, Gayatri?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-924ba10be6178fa7bdc21c550f5e6888\"><strong>Gayatri:&nbsp;<\/strong>I joined the company&nbsp;as a&nbsp;Client&nbsp;Director&nbsp;in 2016, so 5 years after you, Lisette \u2013 although I often feel like&nbsp;I&#8217;ve&nbsp;always been a part of it.&nbsp;Most of my career has been in the research and insights industry. I previously worked&nbsp;with&nbsp;Millward&nbsp;Brown (now Kantar)&nbsp;in Singapore&nbsp;and India.&nbsp;Back in India, I&nbsp;also&nbsp;took on&nbsp;a short stint as&nbsp;Senior Marketing Manager with HDFC India. Even in that role, most of my work revolved around data and analytical marketing.&nbsp;So, as you can imagine, my career has mostly revolved around data, analytical thinking, and logic.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-db0bcb10f65b25790e5c0704e3690fe8\">When I joined forces with&nbsp;MetrixLab\/Toluna&nbsp;in Singapore,&nbsp;we were a team of just 7 or 8.&nbsp;Within 3 years, the team grew, and I stepped into the Managing Director role, opening offices in Thailand, the Philippines, as well as Australia post-acquisition.&nbsp;Looking back, the past 10 years&nbsp;have been the most defining in my career.&nbsp;If my younger self could see where I am today \u2013 leading a key growth region for a global company \u2013 she would be&nbsp;quite surprised and&nbsp;proud.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id54693_69036f-96 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id54693_69036f-96 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-toluna-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id54693_69036f-96 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var(--wp--style--global--content-size);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id54693_69036f-96 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id54693_69036f-96 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id54693_69036f-96 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id54693_69036f-96 alignfull wp-block-toluna-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.toluna-column54693_c8399b-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col,.toluna-column54693_c8399b-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.toluna-column54693_c8399b-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.toluna-column54693_c8399b-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.toluna-column54693_c8399b-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.toluna-column54693_c8399b-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.toluna-column54693_c8399b-ef{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.toluna-column54693_c8399b-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.toluna-column54693_c8399b-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-toluna-column toluna-column54693_c8399b-ef\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-toluna-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54693_5c6b27-ed, .wp-block-toluna-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54693_5c6b27-ed[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54693_5c6b27-ed\"]{font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-xl, 2rem);line-height:40px;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-toluna-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54693_5c6b27-ed mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-toluna-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54693_5c6b27-ed[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54693_5c6b27-ed\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading54693_5c6b27-ed wp-block-toluna-advancedheading has-primary-blue-current-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54693_5c6b27-ed\"><strong>Shivaani:&nbsp;It&#8217;s&nbsp;interesting&nbsp;to think about our younger selves and what they would think of us today.&nbsp;On that note, do you think your leadership style has changed over the years?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-60642b3f862d5068a6853a162d281079\"><strong>Gayatri:&nbsp;<\/strong>I believe&nbsp;we&#8217;re&nbsp;all leaders in our own way.&nbsp;I&#8217;ve&nbsp;learned that&nbsp;a leader&nbsp;isn&#8217;t&nbsp;just&nbsp;someone who leads a team, but rather someone with a vision, direction, and drive to lead the&nbsp;way for&nbsp;others to follow.&nbsp;Earlier in my career, I was more hands-on and structured. But when I stepped into a senior leadership role,&nbsp;my leadership style changed considerably. I had to learn to step back and let go of control.&nbsp;This was challenging because, like I said, I like structure and visibility. So, I had to learn to let go and trust my team to deliver, while also supporting them and letting them know, &#8220;<em>Hey, I&#8217;ve got your back. Do what you have to do, and if you fail, that&#8217;s fine too.<\/em>&#8221;&nbsp;I think&nbsp;it&#8217;s&nbsp;necessary to adapt your leadership style to the context and people&nbsp;you&#8217;re&nbsp;leading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9a074b9967d350c37640f2b7fd5235c8\"><strong>Lisette:<\/strong>&nbsp;I&nbsp;agree:&nbsp;leadership is&nbsp;about giving direction,&nbsp;and&nbsp;that can also come from a project manager, for example. As a leader,&nbsp;you need to make sure&nbsp;everyone is headed in&nbsp;the same direction.&nbsp;With time, you learn more about different&nbsp;people and what approach would be best to take with them.&nbsp;To me, I think&nbsp;there&#8217;s&nbsp;a difference between&nbsp;<em>style<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>approach<\/em>&nbsp;when it comes to leadership.&nbsp;That said, I&nbsp;don&#8217;t&nbsp;think my leadership style has changed much, but my approach has. Like you said, Gayatri, you need to&nbsp;learn to&nbsp;coach instead of control,&nbsp;to&nbsp;let go of things,&nbsp;trust your team, and give them the space to make mistakes. My father always used to say that mistakes are like treasures, because you can learn and grow from them.&nbsp;&nbsp;Leading a team also means setting an example,&nbsp;and leaders make mistakes, too.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9ef04e2c51315a22d2791d960f6bb86b\">Confidence and empathy are also key to my leadership style. People look up to leaders for stability, especially in&nbsp;difficult times.&nbsp;It&#8217;s&nbsp;important to be sensitive towards people&#8217;s backgrounds, lifestyles, challenges, opinions,&nbsp;you name it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id54693_1d5ab8-ad > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id54693_1d5ab8-ad > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-toluna-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id54693_1d5ab8-ad > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var(--wp--style--global--content-size);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id54693_1d5ab8-ad > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id54693_1d5ab8-ad > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id54693_1d5ab8-ad > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id54693_1d5ab8-ad alignfull wp-block-toluna-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.toluna-column54693_161c4d-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.toluna-column54693_161c4d-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.toluna-column54693_161c4d-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.toluna-column54693_161c4d-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.toluna-column54693_161c4d-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.toluna-column54693_161c4d-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.toluna-column54693_161c4d-d6{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.toluna-column54693_161c4d-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.toluna-column54693_161c4d-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-toluna-column toluna-column54693_161c4d-d6\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-toluna-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54693_e51185-c4, .wp-block-toluna-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54693_e51185-c4[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54693_e51185-c4\"]{font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-xl, 2rem);line-height:40px;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-toluna-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54693_e51185-c4 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-toluna-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54693_e51185-c4[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54693_e51185-c4\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading54693_e51185-c4 wp-block-toluna-advancedheading has-primary-blue-current-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54693_e51185-c4\"><strong>Shivaani:&nbsp;Well said.&nbsp;As you both know, International Women&#8217;s Day (IWD) is all about inclusivity, representation, and fostering an environment where women thrive. How do you bring these values to life in your role?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c932ef4f167b98537c436384abbf2f35\"><strong>Lisette:&nbsp;<\/strong>To me, inclusivity is broader than gender.&nbsp;It&#8217;s&nbsp;about equality and accessibility.&nbsp;I love initiatives like IWD because&nbsp;they&#8217;re&nbsp;focused on&nbsp;equality&nbsp;across gender, culture, and lived experience.&nbsp;We&nbsp;all should&nbsp;strive to work with each other. Everyone should be able&nbsp;to speak, play, work&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;no&nbsp;matter who they are.&nbsp;I was taught&nbsp;that&nbsp;at&nbsp;a young age.&nbsp;This has always been&nbsp;a personal&nbsp;value for me.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1130bfed46895e5011f7072925da46ec\">I have noticed that women, compared to men, are often more hesitant to put themselves forward, so supporting them and trusting them is important to building confidence.&nbsp;That&#8217;s&nbsp;why I coach and mentor women, both from within and outside my team. Sometimes this can be as simple as being a sparring partner and giving someone else the confidence to execute their ideas.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2b7d4a6392b42207164fcc51fc81f7e5\">Inclusivity&nbsp;also shows up in practical decisions. For example, when working on&nbsp;our&nbsp;rebrand&nbsp;last year,&nbsp;we tested our brand colors for color-blindness to ensure our visual identity was accessible to everyone.&nbsp;That&#8217;s&nbsp;something&nbsp;we&#8217;re&nbsp;proud of.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-abcc7b9dffc6b7e58ced9e516a83d8f4\"><strong>Gayatri:&nbsp;<\/strong>That&#8217;s&nbsp;a great answer.&nbsp;I definitely agree that inclusivity goes beyond gender.&nbsp;The&nbsp;ultimate goal&nbsp;is to give equal opportunities to everyone. I recently spoke with someone about IWD, and I was asked,&nbsp;<em>&#8220;What kind of future do you envision for the next generation of women?&#8221;&nbsp;<\/em>The first thing that popped up in my head was freedom of choice.&nbsp;Whether women want to nurture the next generation, pursue a career, or chase their passions, their choices should never be governed by gender roles or stereotypes. This is true for everyone, not just women.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-745296f6298741e6c07bce8b5eb4340b\">Market research is a women-dominated industry, and rightfully so. The industry is all about talking to people and understanding their needs. It requires&nbsp;empathy and collaboration, which are traits mostly associated with women. Yet leadership representation still skews men, especially in Asia.&nbsp;In my role, I encourage women to get together and discuss their challenges \u2013 especially about major life stages like marriage and motherhood. Too often, women step back from leadership trajectories during these phases because most responsibilities at home still fall on them. I encourage women to speak to their managers, to HR, and even at home with their partners. Shared ambition requires shared responsibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-toluna-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-688d217e45fd479030f2652c18801c02\">Finally, I remind women that we stand on the shoulders of those who pushed through before. If we want a different future for our daughters and nieces, we&nbsp;must&nbsp;fight for&nbsp;it too. We&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;just need a seat at the table;&nbsp;we need more women at the leadership table. When you see&nbsp;someone&nbsp;you relate to in leadership, you begin&nbsp;to think, &#8220;<em>I can do it, too!<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id54693_0197c2-e8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id54693_0197c2-e8 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-toluna-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id54693_0197c2-e8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var(--wp--style--global--content-size);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id54693_0197c2-e8 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id54693_0197c2-e8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id54693_0197c2-e8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id54693_0197c2-e8 alignfull wp-block-toluna-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.toluna-column54693_8bb677-69 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.toluna-column54693_8bb677-69 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.toluna-column54693_8bb677-69 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.toluna-column54693_8bb677-69 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.toluna-column54693_8bb677-69 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.toluna-column54693_8bb677-69 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.toluna-column54693_8bb677-69{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.toluna-column54693_8bb677-69 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.toluna-column54693_8bb677-69 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-toluna-column toluna-column54693_8bb677-69\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-toluna-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54693_d98611-c1, .wp-block-toluna-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54693_d98611-c1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54693_d98611-c1\"]{font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-xl, 2rem);line-height:40px;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-toluna-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54693_d98611-c1 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-toluna-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54693_d98611-c1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54693_d98611-c1\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading54693_d98611-c1 wp-block-toluna-advancedheading has-primary-blue-current-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54693_d98611-c1\"><strong>Shivaani:&nbsp;That&#8217;s&nbsp;an inspiring perspective&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;thank&nbsp;you for sharing.

Sometimes the simplest way to do that is by just showing up as your full self. Women are often told to fit into certain expectations, and these expectations can manifest in the smallest of decisions, like&nbsp;whether or not&nbsp;to wear makeup. Why should those choices define how seriously&nbsp;we&#8217;re&nbsp;taken?&nbsp;There&#8217;s&nbsp;no harm in&nbsp;looking&nbsp;or feeling beautiful.
