Why does leadership get harder as you become more senior?
Why isn’t experience enough anymore? And why does influence start to matter more than capability at this level?

In this episode, Liz Boswell explores how trust is shaped through everyday behaviour rather than titles or expertise. 

Drawing on a real senior leadership example, she looks at how small moments (like how you listen, pause, respond, and follow up)  compound over time and quietly shape reputation.

This is a calm, mentoring-style conversation about the difference between people pleasing and being someone people can work with. 

We compare how trust functions like a long-term investment, and how senior leaders often underestimate the impact of the basics.

This episode is for you if you're figuring out how to be authentic in a more senior position.



Making Bold Moves is a podcast for people who are capable, thoughtful, and quietly questioning how they’re showing up at work and in life.

I’m Liz Boswell. I work with leaders and professionals who don’t need more advice, but do need space to think clearly, especially when the pressure is on.

Each episode is a calm, mentoring-style conversation grounded in real client moments. We look at the stories people carry, the behaviours those stories create, and the small, practical shifts that change how things land day to day.

You’ll hear honest reflections, psychologically precise questions, and simple actions you can try immediately, without overhauling your life or becoming someone else.

If you’re stepping into more responsibility, more visibility, or simply feeling the weight of decisions that matter, this podcast is here to help you slow things down, think more clearly, and move forward in a way that feels grounded and real.

A quiet companion for people who want to make better moves, not louder ones.
