Manage episode 520098781 series 3650854
In this episode of UH-OH Conversations with Cohesive Leaders, hosts Dr. Troy and Ben-Jamin Toy welcome Rosie Zilinskas. Rosie is a Certified High Performance Coach, keynote speaker, and founder of No Woman Left Behind. Rosie shares her powerful journey from surviving a difficult divorce to thriving as a corporate executive and coach dedicated to empowering women in the workplace.
Listeners will hear Rosie’s candid UH-OH moment: the realization that waiting to be noticed for her hard work was holding her back from career advancement. She reveals how self-advocacy, preparation, and intentional action transformed her trajectory, leading to promotions and leadership roles. The conversation dives into practical strategies for speaking up, building a vault of accomplishments, and being “promotion ready” before opportunities arise.
Rosie also discusses the importance of addressing personal wounds, overcoming self-doubt, and the role of resilience in professional growth. We connect her story to broader themes of leadership, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and the value of preparedness.
Whether you’re an emerging leader, a woman seeking advancement, or anyone navigating workplace challenges, this episode offers actionable advice, inspiration, and a reminder: success comes from preparation, self-discovery, and the courage to advocate for yourself.
