What if confidence isn’t about being louder, but about asking the right questions?

If you’ve ever walked out of a meeting feeling steamrolled, talked over, or unsure how to speak up without pretending to be someone you’re not, this episode is for you.

In this episode of From a Woman to a Leader, I sit down with Juhi Ranjan, Head of Product Management at RTI and a computer science PhD with deep experience in real-time systems, edge computing, and autonomy. Juhi has built her career around complex, high-stakes platforms for automotive, aerospace, and medical markets but the most powerful thing she built was her voice.

Juhi shares how she transitioned from research to product leadership, how she handled assertive colleagues without losing herself, and why being the “only woman in the room” taught her how to lead with quiet strength, values, and curiosity.

🎧 In this deeply inspiring and practical episode, you’ll learn:

💡 How to speak up in male-dominated rooms without faking confidence

🔄 How Juhi pivoted from academia to product and stayed aligned with her values

🧭 A simple framework to navigate assertiveness with curiosity instead of confrontation

🌱 Why it’s okay to build a non-linear career—and how to use your story as your strength

💬 How to find champions, build influence, and stop shrinking in high-stakes situations

If you’ve ever felt overlooked or unsure how to lead in your own way, this episode will remind you: you don’t have to change who you are to become a leader.

Why Being Exceptional Isn’t Enough: The Invisible Rules Holding Women Back at Work

What if the real reason you’re not being chosen for bigger roles has nothing to do with your talent?

In this episode, I sit down with Laura Patterson - corporate veteran, CEO, strategist, and globally recognized expert in customer-centric leadership - to unpack the unspoken rules that shape career growth inside organizations.

Laura shares a story that hits hard: the moment her boss told her,

“You’re exceptional… but I don’t trust that you would make the same decisions I would.”

It wasn’t about capability.

It wasn’t about performance.

It was about trust, decision-making, and leadership signals women are rarely taught to navigate.

This conversation is for every woman who has ever:

• worked harder than everyone else but still felt overlooked

• been told she’s “great,” yet not seen as a leader

• wondered why others get picked while she quietly delivers

• struggled with advocating for herself without sounding demanding

• wanted more visibility, influence, and leadership opportunities

• felt unsure how to step out of the execution trap

Together, we break down:

✨ Why working harder won’t get you promoted

✨ The trust signals leaders look for

✨ How to have career conversations that actually open doors

✨ The role of decision-making in leadership credibility

✨ How to build advocates inside your organization

✨ How women unintentionally become their own biggest barrier

✨ Steps to get seen, get trusted, and get opportunities — without burning out

If you’ve ever felt stuck, undervalued, or invisible despite doing everything “right,” this episode will change how you think about your career.

You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and practical tools to step into real leadership.

🎧 Press play and learn the invisible rules that finally change the game for women in tech.

What if your career path isn’t broken, it’s just different?

Many ambitious tech leaders believe there’s only one “right” way to grow: climb the ladder fast, take on bigger teams, and never slow down.

But what if true leadership involves taking a different path, one that respects your values, prioritizes your wellbeing, and celebrates your unique perspective?

In this episode of From a Woman to a Leader, I sit down with Meri Williams, an accomplished CTO, tech advisor, CTO coach, and Chair of The Lead Developer conference, for one of the most authentic and inspiring conversations I’ve ever had.

Meri shares their nonlinear journey from software engineering to executive leadership, growing teams from 30 to 300, managing burnout, discovering their neurodiversity, and leading with authenticity and compassion. Their story reminds us that success isn’t about fitting the mold, but about building a career that fits you.

🎧 In this deeply human and eye-opening conversation, you’ll learn:

💡 Why career growth isn’t linear, and how to redefine success on your own terms

🔥 What scaling too fast taught Meri about burnout, boundaries, and balance

💬 The multiple paths to becoming a CTO, and how to find the one that suits your strengths

🚀 How domain expertise, curiosity, and integrity shape great leadership

🌱 Why management isn’t the only way to grow, and how technical excellence can be just as fulfilling

💫 How to thrive as a neurodiverse leader and build a sustainable, values-aligned career

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re on the “right” path, struggled with burnout, or wondered if leadership can coexist with authenticity, this episode will change how you see your own growth.

You’ll walk away knowing that your differences are your strengths, your detours are part of the plan, and your success doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s.

What if getting promoted wasn’t the finish line, but the start of a whole new challenge you never trained for?

Many high-achieving women in tech think leadership will feel like a natural next step.

But when you go from doing the work to leading the people who do it, everything changes. Suddenly, what made you successful before, your technical excellence, your attention to detail, can actually hold you back.

In this episode of From a Woman to a Leader, I sit down with Tara Landes, founder of Bellrock and lead faculty of its renowned management training programs. With over 25 years of experience helping hundreds of leaders make the leap from doer to leader, Tara shares powerful lessons on how to navigate this tricky transition with confidence, clarity, and authenticity.

🎧 In this insightful conversation, you’ll learn:

💡 How to know if management is the right path for you

🔥 The biggest mindset shift that turns good employees into great leaders

💬 What to do when you feel unprepared or afraid of not being liked

🚀 How to lead without being the “smartest person in the room”

🌱 Why feedback and conflict are actually gifts—not threats

If you’ve ever been promoted and thought, “Wait, no one taught me how to do this,” this episode is for you.

You’ll walk away knowing how to step into leadership with confidence, serve your team effectively, and stop feeling like you’re faking it.

Many ambitious women believe that being helpful, accommodating, and reliable is the key to being seen as a great leader.

In this episode of From a Woman to a Leader, I sit down with Sharon Ehrlich, executive coach, speaker, and former IT leader with over 30 years of experience at IBM, Citrix, and Veeam Software.

If you’re a woman in tech who’s constantly being the fixer, the go-to person, or the one holding everything together, this episode will help you take back your time, your energy, and your power.

You’ll walk away knowing how to say no without guilt, burnout, or fear, and finally make space for what truly matters in your career and life.

Have you ever wondered: Do I really have to keep chasing titles to grow? What if my next best move is sideways—or smaller?

If you’re a woman in tech feeling stuck after a layoff, debating a pivot, or just restless in your current role, this episode will help you rethink career growth—beyond the ladder.

🎧 I sit down with Adriane McFetridge — former Engineering Director at Netflix, public board director, CTO, and today a builder tackling new tech (and training for a half-Ironman!) — to unpack why your career can be a jungle gym: messy, fun, unexpected… and yours.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Jungle-Gym Strategy: What it is and how it accelerates growth compared to the traditional ladder.

• Impact > Title: How to evaluate roles by learning, impact, and joy—not team size or prestige.

• After a Layoff: Practical questions to reset your search: What do I want to learn next? What impact do I want to have?

• Pivoting with a Story: How to craft a narrative that translates your skills across functions (engineering → product, business, etc.).

• Risk & “Step-Backs”: When a smaller title or team is actually a step forward.

• Speak Your Ambition: Why telling your manager (and skip-level) what you want creates opportunities—and advocates.

Who this is for:

Women in tech leaders (and rising leaders) who want real growth without burning out or waiting for permission. If you’re asking “Is this it?”—this conversation gives you the mindset, language, and next steps to make your move.
