Empowering Voices: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Self-Doubt and Leading Others

In the Thirty Minute Mentors: Ancestry CEO Deb Liu episode, we’ll examine traits of effective executive leadership with the CEO of Ancestry, the largest genealogy company in the world.

In this course, Liu discusses her personal and professional journey with Adam Mendler. She shares her best lessons and advice from her experiences leading the multibillion-dollar Ancestry company, creating and building a product used by more than a billion people a month, as well as how she developed the skills, relationships, and mindset required to rise to the top. Beginning with a discussion of Liu’s childhood and how she first developed her style of leadership, the conversation then goes on to explore Liu’s past work experience as a senior executive at Facebook, where she founded and oversaw Facebook Marketplace. Mendler and Liu also examine the key characteristics Liu believes make for great leadership and touch on diversity, inclusion and more.
