Kwame Marfo

Kwame Marfo is a director at Genentech in the San Francisco area. He is a graduate of the Coaching for Leaders Academy. He joins me in this episode to share how personal values can align intentionally with career choices.

Key Points

  • Kwame’s dad inspires the work he does today for others.
  • An effective way to connect with others is to ask what books and podcasts they are listening to. This value of curiosity also came from Kwame’s dad.
  • Getting diversity of leadership experience is useful to expand beyond an industry perspective.
  • Establishing a vision gives clarity to what’s most important.
  • Journaling has helped Kwame reflect on his life and illuminate gaps that lead to action.
  • Don’t trust the summary.
