  2. Episode 307: The Conversation Beneath the Conversation - Replay

    Show notes

    Over the years, executives have brought me what they believed was the problem. More often than not, we discovered we were solving something entirely different. The higher you rise, the more dangerous it becomes to mistake your assumptions for strategy. Join me for this week's podcast episode, The Conversation Beneath the Conversation, where I explore why the biggest breakthroughs in leadership often begin by questioning the problem you think you're trying to solve.

  6. Episode 303: How Success Creates Limitations

    Show notes

    Success can create its own kind of plateau.

    When something works, we repeat it.

    Same routines, people, conversations and environments.

    Which makes sense; until we want a radically different outcome.

    Over the last few months, I've been intentionally disrupting some of my own inputs: a new office in a different city, new social and business circles, new conversations, a new business coach.

    None of those things guarantees an outcome.

    But proximity creates possibility.

    You can't control exactly what happens next.

    But you can put yourself closer to the people, spaces and experiences that make something new possible.

    Where have your current inputs become too comfortable?

    We cover this in more depth this weeks episode The Career Catapult Podcast.

  8. Episode 301: Are your best career wins behind you?

    Show notes

    There is a career decision I see ambitious people make all the time.

    Except most of them don't realize they're making it.

    There is no announcement or clear conscious decision to change course.

    In fact, if you asked them, they would probably tell you they are still pursuing exactly what they always wanted.

    But watch what happens over 6, 9, 12 months and a very different story begins to emerge. I dive into this in this week's episode of The Career Catapult Podcast - Are your Best Career Wins Behind You?

  11. Episode 298: No One Is Chasing You: Why pursue a level of success you don't need?

    Show notes

    Why would anyone voluntarily run 50 miles a week when absolutely nothing is chasing them? You could ask the same question about becoming a VP, SVP or C-suite executive. It's hard. It takes years. Most people won't do it. And you absolutely do not need to. So why would you? This week's podcast is about ambition, the pursuit of statistically uncommon things, and the question far too few people ask before deciding they want to reach the top.

  13. Episode 296: Why Great Directors Don't Become VPs

    Show notes

    What if the very thing you've been emphasizing in executive interviews is the reason you're being passed over? In this episode, I challenge one of the biggest assumptions ambitious Directors and Senior Directors make as they pursue VP and executive roles. If you've ever felt like your experience isn't "big enough" or wondered what separates the leaders who make the leap from those who don't, this conversation may change the way you think about your career; and how you talk about it. You may be much closer than you think.

  15. Episode 294: The Day You Stopped Wanting the Promotion

    Show notes

    You don't usually abandon a meaningful goal all at once. More often, your commitment slowly fades the moment you convince yourself you don't know how to get there.

    In this week's podcast, we're unpacking the hidden relationship between commitment and knowhow and why closing that gap is often the difference between settling and achieving what you originally set out to do.

  18. Episode 291: The Importance of Personal Style in Leadership with Roxanne Carne

    Show notes

    After sports injuries, pregnancies, postpartum, weight changes, and major life transitions, I realized my wardrobe no longer reflected the executive I had become. I decided to hire Roxanne Carne who transformed, not just my wardrobe, but gave me back my spark. In this week's podcast, Roxanne and I discuss how intentional style influences confidence, executive presence, and the way leaders are perceived long before they speak.

  20. Episode 289: The Hidden Risk of Internal Promotions Nobody Talks About

    Show notes

    She spent 19 years at this company and every promotion (all the way to SVP), reinforced the same message: You're ready for more. Then she entered the market for a COO role and received a very different message. This week's podcast is one every ambitious leader should hear.
