Forget the myth that leadership means being the loudest voice in the room. We share a raw, funny, and practical journey from crash-and-burn manager to a leader who lifts, protects, and empowers. If you’ve ever had a boss who dumped everything on your desk at 5 p.m., you’ll recognize the old model—and you’ll get a blueprint for doing the opposite.
We start with early missteps: mistaking a title for freedom, delegating without accountability, and learning what happens when you disappear on your team. Then we pivot to a new model built on service with standards: learning your team’s jobs well enough to backfill them, defending quality under pressure, and turning skepticism into trust with consistent action. Expect concrete examples of covering vacations, safeguarding clients, and translating values into daily behaviors that actually scale.
Career growth is a thread throughout. We lay out a simple three-year cadence: master your role in year one, expand your impact in year two, and advocate for title and pay in year three. You’ll hear how to build receipts—revenue influenced, projects delivered, risk mitigated—and how to spot red flags like goalposts that move, gaslighting, or surveillance disguised as feedback. When the answer is always “not now,” we explain how to exit with clarity and momentum. This is a playbook for women navigating agencies and beyond, blending candid stories with tactics you can use tomorrow.
If you’re ready to lead without fear, grow on purpose, and find rooms that value your talent, press play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a push, and leave a review with the best leadership lesson you’ve learned. Your story might help someone else step up.
