About this listen
What does it take to lead cultural change—without losing yourself in the process?
In this powerful conversation, we sit down with a quiet powerhouse reshaping global conversations on leadership and inclusion: Ewa Bakun, Director of Industry Insight and Engagement at Clarion Gaming. But this episode isn’t about gaming—it’s about what happens when an introvert steps into a world built for extroverts and dares to lead with integrity anyway.
Ewa shares her deeply personal journey through male-dominated spaces, the invisible pressures of being “the only one in the room,” and how she’s helped bring topics like DEIB and belonging from the sidelines to center stage. We explore:
-
What real allyship actually looks like (hint: it’s not just words)
-
How introversion can be a leadership advantage
-
The uncomfortable truths industries still avoid—and how to name them
-
How to navigate systems that weren’t built for you
If you’ve ever questioned your place in the room, felt pressure to “fit in,” or wondered how to drive meaningful change without burning out—this one’s for you.
Tune in to be reminded: you don’t have to be loud to be powerful.
