Ep. 13: How to build a career you love, with Lindsay Trout

Partner, Egon Zehnder

"Courage is the currency of leadership today."

Before she became a trusted advisor to C-suite leaders and boards, Lindsay Trout was an inquisitive, adventurous girl growing up in Charleston, South Carolina—dreaming of exploring the world beyond the “shoulds” that shaped her hometown.

In this week’s episode of The Leadership Dance, Lindsay shares how those early instincts—curiosity, boldness, and a hunger to grow—guided her through a career that spans continents, industries, and companies.

In "How to Build a Career You Love," she opens up about:
✨ Moving beyond the “shoulds” to think about the “coulds”
✨ Why courage and curiosity are essential leadership skills today
✨ How to tune into what brings you joy—and build around it
✨ Navigating early feedback, identity, and authenticity in the workplace

Lindsay’s story is a powerful reminder that your career doesn’t have to follow anyone else’s steps. You can shape it to reflect your values, strengths, and vision.
