In this episode of Becoming Alegna, I share a real moment in leadership most people don’t talk about — being disrespected in front of a room full of “professionals.”
During a company acquisition call, someone who barely knew my work questioned my leadership in front of his entire team. After 20+ years as a CEO, I faced public condescension, leadership assumptions, and a choice: shrink or stand in my authority.
This episode explores how to respond, how to protect your reputation, and how to never let someone else define your leadership.
