In today’s episode, we discuss:
Discover the real journeys behind "overnight success" stories—Because you'll see that even the most accomplished leaders face setbacks and internal challenges, giving you permission to honor your own slow burn to success rather than compare yourself to unrealistic narratives. Those “overnight successes” actually take 15 years of hard work and pushing through whatever is in your way.
Learn about finding and using your unique voice, especially in male-dominated industries (Ivy Slater’s, Vice Admiral Sandra Stosz’s, Michelle Russo’s, Amy Conway-Hatcher’s, Dr Mary O'Connor’s, stories)—If you’re struggling to stand out or be heard, their insights will help you leverage your strengths in any challenging environment.
Hear diverse stories of joy, resilience, and strategic risk-taking—so you can build more joy, clarity, and growth into your own work, borrowing from actionable wisdom shared by a variety of leaders, from corporate executives to entertainers/authors to military figures, and the list goes on.
See the power of “Being More You, Not Faux You” in tough situations (Amanda Hawkins’ story)—You’ll realize that authenticity isn’t just a nice idea, but a winning strategy for building trust and influence with even the most senior decision-makers.
Take away unique mindsets like architecting a life by design (Chad Lefebvre) versus a life by default—As a way to challenge accepted norms and intentionally create a fulfilling path, instead of just accepting what you’re given.
Understand how personal experiences outside of business (from dance to the board room, riding instructor to corporate executive…) can shape leadership strengths—Meaning you can tap into your own life story and skills for professional advantage, not just traditional credentials.
