Inside the C-Suite

In this episode of Inside the C-Suite, Christy sits down with Kate Parker, President of Transcend, for a grounded and insightful conversation on leadership, growth, and what it really takes to build meaningful impact at the highest levels.

Kate shares her career journey from Google and Uber to leading a fast-growing data privacy platform—unpacking the mindset shifts required to move from executor to builder. Together, Christy and Kate explore the power of cross-functional collaboration, servant leadership, mentorship, and why embracing failure is often the fastest path to growth.

Key Takeaways

In this episode of Inside the C-Suite, Christy L. Honeycutt sits down with Jonny McCoy, Founder and CEO of White Flag, a mental health advocacy platform built on connection, empathy, and shared experience.

Jonny shares his deeply personal journey—from childhood trauma to becoming a civil rights attorney and ultimately a mental health advocate. What began as his own path toward healing evolved into a mission to create safe spaces where people can be seen, heard, and supported without judgment.

Jonny also explains how White Flag is designed to scale impact, offering free access to individuals while enabling organizations to foster healthier, more connected workplaces.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that when leaders lead with empathy, they don’t just build stronger organizations—they help create stronger communities.

What if the greatest leadership lesson isn’t about winning but about starting over?

On this episode of Inside the C-Suite, Christy sits down with Cheri Garcia, Founder & CEO of Cornbread Hustle, a boutique staffing firm that has helped more than 3,000 people with criminal records find meaningful employment, dignity, and a path forward.

Cheri is a force.

She rebuilt her life after addiction, transformed her pain into purpose, and built one of the most impactful second-chance hiring movements in the country. Today, she helps companies create workplaces that change lives—not just bottom lines.

They unpack:

The Leadership of Reinvention - why your lowest point can become your greatest asset—and how Cheri used her recovery to build a company centered on empathy, accountability, and transformation.

The Truth About Second-Chance Hiring - what companies think it is vs. what it really looks like behind the scenes, and why individuals with criminal records are some of the most driven, loyal, and high-performing hires.

Healing Before Hiring - how programs like Junk Hustlers and the Starting Over Program rebuild self-worth, identity, and confidence—because employment only sticks when inner work comes first.

Community as a Leadership Strategy - why returning citizens need structure, accountability, and people who believe in them—and how leaders can create cultures that support real change.

Entrepreneurship as Redemption - how Cheri teaches individuals to use creativity, discipline, and ownership to rewrite their stories and design their futures.

If you’ve ever believed in redemption, resilience, or the power of one “YES” this conversation will stay with you.

Cheri reminds us that reinvention isn’t a destination, it's a journey we walk together.

What happens when a Wall-Street-caliber energy trader steps off the trading floor to build pathways to the dignity of work for first-gen students?

On this episode of Inside the C-Suite, Christy sits down with Paul Posoli - former energy executive (Enron, Calpine, Bear Stearns, J.P. Morgan) turned founder and president of CareerSpring. What starts as a cheetah-shoes networking story turns into a masterclass on moving from success to significance. From a life-altering ask by a beloved school leader to the “sandwiches moment” that reset his compass, Paul opens up about impact and why opportunity shouldn’t depend on the zip code you’re born into.

They unpack:

From Success to Significance: The mindset shift sparked by mid-career reflection (and a hard lesson watching a visionary founder get “whacked”) that redefined what a meaningful legacy looks like.

The Sandwiches Story: The humbling moment that reframed service - and why no act of contribution is beneath a leader.

CareerSpring’s Engine: A community-powered platform that’s already supported 33,000+ first-gen/low-income students from 1,250 colleges, with 550 partner orgs, 550 on-career videos, and ~900 direct offers - all designed to convert potential into full employment, not underemployment.

Advisors at Scale: Why a single warm intro changes a life - and how today’s advisees are becoming tomorrow’s advisors (1,600 advisors pre-migration; rebuilding on a new platform and growing).

AI, Work, and the Middle Class: A clear-eyed take on productivity gains, job displacement, and why capitalism requires an intentional pipeline into quality, dignified work.

Leadership Without the Pedestal: Being approachable without being everyone’s “bestie,” holding firm to values, and measuring impact by how people feel after they interact with you.

If you care about talent, mobility, impact, or the future of work - or you’re simply weighing your own second-half pivot - this conversation is equal parts practical and heart-forward.

Because leadership isn’t just about making the right call on a volatile market.

It’s about showing up, opening doors, and building the kind of tomorrow where more people get to walk through them.

What happens when a leader known for her “stoic reputation” and strategic mind makes a bold career pivot everyone told her she couldn’t? 

On this episode of Inside the C-Suite, Christy has a full-circle moment with Caroline Werner - Chief People Officer at LogicGate and a leader Christy has been “fangirling” since their shared days at Korn Ferry. From intentionally building a network that opens doors to navigating the loneliness at the top, Caroline pulls back the curtain on what it truly means to be the CEO of the people. She’s the leader who understands that business acumen is just as critical as the human element, and she’s not afraid to say that her job isn’t always about “loving people” - it’s about creating an environment where the right people can thrive.

They unpack:

Pivoting with Purpose: How Caroline broke into the tech industry after being told “no” and the power of “intentional networking” over collecting contacts.

The CHRO’s Tightrope: Why the Chief People Officer role is often the loneliest in the C-Suite and the constant balance of being approachable but not being everyone’s “bestie”.

Tradeoffs & Choices: Caroline’s core philosophy for navigating difficult decisions and why effective leadership isn’t about being liked - it’s about being respected and effective.

The Power of Presence: A raw look at learning to be fully present as a leader and why the way you make people feel is the ultimate measure of your impact.

Getting Unstuck: Embracing the reality that “nothing is forever,” whether you’re in a great season or feeling “stuck in the muck,” and how to learn more from your failures than your successes.

Legacy Over Likes: How to define and build your legacy from day one and the privilege and pressure that comes with shaping an organization’s culture.

If you’re a leader wrestling with tough calls, trying to pivot in your own career, or just want to hear from a leader who is as brilliant as she is real, this conversation provides a masterclass in leading with integrity and strategic grace.

Because true leadership isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about showing up, being present, and making the hard choices that build a stronger tomorrow.
