Host Laura Bennett dives into an engaging series where leadership, innovation, and personal stories intersect in the realms of federal government and industry.
In this episode, Laura Bennett, Principal and Leadership Coach, reconnects with Kathleen Scudder, President of Trusted Driver Federal Solutions and former Senior Executive with the U.S. Border Patrol, where she spent over 27 years leading complex, mission-critical operations. Since her last appearance, Kathleen has made a significant transition from federal service to industry—and now into entrepreneurship—bringing a fresh perspective on leadership and reinvention.
Laura and Kathleen explore what it really means to step away from a long-standing career identity and build something new. Their conversation touches on leadership evolution, resilience through change, and how the definition of “having it all” shifts across different stages of life and career. This episode offers an honest look at transition, growth, and what it takes to lead in a completely new chapter.
