Today, I'm introducing you to the brave, young woman who wrote a memo to HR about Harvey Weinstein, exposing his abusive behavior and the sexual assault of another employee. Her memo would become the cornerstone of a New York Times article that began Weinstein's freefall from Hollywood royalty to convicted criminal. Why did she do it? How did she do it? Lauren O'Connor was a 26 year-old with her dream job who had nothing to gain and everything to lose when she wrote that memo. She lost her job, her privacy and hundreds of thousands of dollars. But what she gained was a healing she never expected. For the first time, she opens up about her own sexual assault and how it impacted her decision to report one of the most powerful, famous men in the world. She shares the vulnerable moment her coworker showed up in her hotel room doorway sobbing and her reaction to the verdict of Weinstein's trial. Lauren O'Connor is real, raw, and strong. Her story will empower you; she empowers me.https://www.coachmikebayer.com/Twitter/Instagram: @coachmikeshowLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
