Leading From the 1% - Different by Design with Sarah Johnston
Dec 1500:51:45Tap to summarizeWelcome back to the Conversations With Corliss Today’s episode is called Leading From the 1% Different by Design, and it is a powerful conversation about something we all wrestle with at different points in our lives, owning who we truly are. That 1%, the part of you that makes you uniquely you, is often the very thing that sets you apart. And yet, for so many of us, it is also the hardest thing to fully embrace. In this episode, you will hear one woman’s story of choosing to see her worth, live into it, and lead her life both personally and professionally in a way that is deeply aligned with who she is and what truly matters to her. I am joined by Sarah Johnstone, CEO and co-owner of Atlas York Insurance, a leading women-owned, full-service brokerage here in Saskatchewan. With over 20 years in the insurance industry, Sarah is known for her genuine, people-first approach and her ability to help individuals, families, and business owners feel informed, confident, and supported through every stage of life. Before leading Atlas York, Sarah held senior leadership roles across major Canadian organizations and has been recognized twice as one of the Elite Women in Business, as well as a two-time Excellence Awardee for CEO of the Year by Insurance Business Canada. But what I love most about this conversation is not just what Sarah has accomplished; it is how she leads. With authenticity. With heart. And with a deep commitment to staying true to herself. We talk about embracing your uniqueness, leading differently by design, and why owning who you are might just be the most powerful leadership move you will ever make.
