The Luminaries Mentoring Circle is a conversation series on female leadership with Lippe Taylor Founder & Chairwoman, Maureen Lippe and PRovoke Media’s Aarti Shah. 

In this series, we invite the industry's most accomplished and respected leaders to provide mentorship and guidance for the industry's rising stars. At a time when PR professionals — especially women — are missing key opportunities for networking, we hope this series can help fill a void.

This week’s conversation is with Levi’s CCO, Kelly McGinnis. Maureen & Kelly reflect on their careers while providing guidance and key strategies for the marketing industry's rising female leaders. The conversation, moderated by PRovoke's executive editor Aarti Shah, covers the importance of trusting your instincts, the crucial workplace transitions that are necessary as professionals grow into leadership roles, why vulnerability builds effective and empathetic leadership, and the long view on purpose and the pandemic — and more.

Without further ado, here is Levi Strauss CCO, Kelly McGinnis, in conversation with Maureen Lippe and Aarti Shah.
