347: Juggling Family, Career, and Leadership with Emily Howard

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Well Woman Show. Today, we’re talking about leadership, systemic inequities, how women in high-pressure careers can find balance and fulfillment without burning out, and more!

Joining me is a truly inspiring guest, Emily Howard, a dynamic leader who effortlessly juggles multiple roles as a mom, wife, business owner, consultant, and the new Executive Director of the Economic Forum of Albuquerque, an association of influential leaders committed to elevating the economic vitality of Albuquerque. She is also the Founder/President of Cheetah Strategy, providing strategic planning and brand consulting services. Previously, she led brand and business strategy for Visit Albuquerque, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, McKee Wallwork, Esparza, and DDB Worldwide. 

Passionate about bringing ideas to life and fostering collaboration, Emily is a driving force in the Albuquerque community. She co-founded the “Start Bragging” movement, co-hosts the “Positive Not Perfect” radio show, and serves on various boards. 

In this episode, we cover:

• How leaders manage many important roles in their professional and personal lives
• The efforts to make powerful business groups more diverse and welcoming to everyone
• Visions for building stronger, more vibrant local economies for the future
• Strategies for balancing work demands with family life and well-being, especially for women in leadership
• The importance of honest communication in the workplace regarding personal responsibilities

Emily brings years of experience and deep insights into how we can lead within and despite the systems that impact us, fostering a more inclusive and thriving community for all.
