What do you do when there is no roadmap — but standing still is not an option?

In this episode of It’s In You, I sit down with Lisa Pagotto, Founder & CEO of Crooked Compass, to explore what it really means to lead through uncertainty, disruption, and reinvention.

Lisa shares her remarkable journey of building a travel business from an idea she deeply believed in, surviving a difficult Shark Tank aftermath, navigating the pandemic as the travel industry shut down, and creating a second business by following curiosity, instinct, and movement.

Together, we talk about bold decisions before proof, resilience that does not mean endless pushing, and why leadership requires both courage and rest.

This conversation is an invitation to stop waiting for certainty — and start with one small move.

Key Takeaways

• You do not always need proof before you begin.
• Curiosity can become a powerful leadership strategy.
• If you do nothing, nothing changes.
• Resilience is not the same as pushing through.
• Rest is not weakness — it is part of sustainable leadership.
• Leadership requires energy, clarity, and emotional steadiness.
• Your values help you know when it is time to evolve.
• Boundaries are built through practice, not overnight.
• Sometimes the smallest movement creates the biggest shift.
• Uncertainty can be where you meet your next version of leadership.

Sound Bites

“If I didn’t keep moving, nothing would change.”
“People feed off passion.”
“Rest is the new recipe for leadership.”
“The person you start as is not the person you become.”
“If it doesn’t align, it will not work.”

Visibility After Fifty with Viola Haderlein

What if visibility after 50 is not about being louder, more polished, or more strategic but about becoming more yourself?

In this episode of It’s In You, I sit down with Viola Haderlein to explore visibility, identity, aging, menopause, and the powerful shift that happens when women stop comparing themselves to their younger selves.

Viola works with women 50+ through photography, styling, branding, and her book project 50x50+, helping women become visible not only online, but in real life. In our conversation, we talk about why visibility is not just a marketing topic, but a deeply personal one: how we see ourselves, how we want to be seen, and what version of ourselves we are ready to embody. 

This conversation is an invitation to stop fighting aging, stop waiting for permission, and start seeing midlife as a phase of transformation, clarity, and presence.

Key Takeaways

•  Visibility after 50 starts with identity, not strategy 
•  Menopause can be confusing, but also deeply transformational 
•  Comparing yourself to your younger self can keep you stuck 
•  Anti-aging language often works against self-acceptance 
•  Time awareness can create clarity instead of fear 
•  Embodiment helps women experience their future self today 
•  Style, colors, and images can support identity and presence 
•  Visibility is not only online — it happens in real human connection 
•  Women 50+ are a powerful part of society and deserve to be seen 
•  Midlife can become a moment of reinvention, not disappearance 

Sound Bites

“Visibility is not only social media.”
 “The most dangerous comparison is the one with your younger self.”
 “We want to age — and we want to age healthy.”
 “Visibility starts with the why.”
 “You have an impact.”

Many high-achieving women underestimate their own strengths.

Not because they lack talent. But because their strongest capabilities feel so natural that they assume everyone can do the same.

In coaching sessions, I hear this almost every week:

"Well… that's just part of my job."

But when we unpack these situations, we often discover something very different:
 strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, conflict navigation, and real leadership under pressure.

The challenge is that what feels ordinary to you is often exceptional to others.

And if you don't see it yourself, you won’t talk about it.

Not in networking conversations.
Not in performance reviews.
And not in job interviews.

In this episode, Katharina shares why this happens from a psychological perspective, how it affects career visibility, and how you can start recognizing and communicating your strengths more clearly.

In This Episode We Talk About

• Why many women underestimate their strongest abilities
• The “strength blindness effect” in leadership
• What research from Harvard Business Review reveals about self-perception at work
• Why leadership strengths often feel “too normal” to talk about
• The career risk of normalizing your biggest contributions
• Simple reflection questions to uncover your hidden strengths
• How clarity about strengths changes the way you show up and lead

Key Takeaway

Your biggest strengths often feel the most ordinary to you.

That doesn’t make them less valuable.

It simply means they have become part of who you are.

The moment you learn to see them clearly, you can start using them intentionally.

Reflection Question

What do you do easily that seems difficult for others?

Your answer might reveal your most important leadership strength.

Want to explore your strengths more deeply?

My coaching now starts with a Strength Sprint — a focused process to uncover your real strengths and translate them into leadership clarity.

What comes first in a career — confidence or visibility?

In this episode of It’s In You, I sit down with Tina Holmes to explore one of the most misunderstood dynamics in women’s careers. Together, we unpack why so many capable women wait to feel “ready,” why confidence often grows after action (not before), and how breaking taboos can become a powerful leadership tool.

Tina brings a refreshing mix of clarity, honesty, and experience from working in complex organisational environments. We talk openly about vulnerability, psychological safety, and the hidden impact of company culture on self-confidence and growth.

This conversation is an invitation to stop waiting, start trusting yourself — and become visible without losing authenticity.

Key Takeaways

• Confidence is not a prerequisite — it is built through action
• Many women systematically underestimate their own capabilities
• Breaking taboos creates trust, credibility, and stronger leadership
• Vulnerability is not weakness; it is a leadership skill
• Psychological safety is essential for performance and innovation
• Organisational culture deeply influences individual confidence
• Diversity in leadership leads to better decisions and outcomes
• Mentoring plays a key role in women’s career development
• Visibility is a choice — not a personality trait
• Open conversations create healthier, more human workplaces

In this deeply inspiring episode of It’s In You, host Katharina Engelhardt sits down with Blanca Meléndez del Castillo — Personal Brand Strategist, TEDx Speaker, and creator of the S.H.I.N.E.™ Framework — for a conversation about vision, courage, and the power of seeing yourself before the world sees you.

Blanca shares the behind-the-scenes story of her recent TEDx Nuremberg talk:
 ✨ how she created a visual of herself on the TEDx stage a year before it happened,
 ✨ why embodying your future identity changes everything, and
 ✨ the childhood story of her mother raising her arm that still influences how she leads today.

Together, Katharina and Blanca explore the uncomfortable but transformative space of vulnerability, the resistance many women feel toward visibility, and why self-trust is the foundation of leadership.

This episode is for every woman who has ever waited to be chosen, doubted her own capability, or struggled to see the leader in the mirror — and is ready to step into her next chapter with intention and courage.

✨ Key Takeaways

• Vision is a strategy, not a dream. Seeing yourself in your future role helps you become it faster.
• Most women underestimate themselves because they only see the “inside view” — their doubts, their limits, their morning self.
• Vulnerability is not weakness — it’s connection. True human interaction requires being seen fully.
• Raising your hand changes your life. Leadership visibility starts with daring to be chosen.
• Your identity shifts when your visuals do. Embodiment isn’t performance — it is alignment.
• Authenticity is not optional anymore. Women shouldn’t have to edit themselves to fit corporate expectations.
• Self-trust is the foundation of impact. Everything you need is already in you.

🎧 Sound Bites

• “You already have what it takes — you just don’t see it yet.”
• “There is so much vulnerability in being seen.”
• “If you’re an expert and people don’t know what you know… you have a problem.”
• “Raise your hand, even when you don’t feel ready.”
• “Authenticity is the moment you stop editing yourself.”

In this empowering episode of It’s In You, host Katharina Engelhardt sits down with leadership coach and former EVP Katy McFee, a powerhouse voice helping women land their first VP roles and step confidently into senior leadership.

Katy shares her honest and refreshing perspective on why so many women stay stuck despite strong performance and what needs to change. Together, Katy and Katharina dive deep into visibility, strategic leadership, navigating bias, burnout, and the mindset shifts women need to rise without losing themselves in the process.

This is a must-listen for every woman who knows she’s ready for more — more impact, more clarity, more confidence and wants practical tools to step into senior leadership with strength and intention.

✨ Takeaways

Visibility is not self-promotion — it’s strategy. If you don’t share your impact, no one knows it exists.

Senior leadership requires a shift from doing to leading. Overperformance isn’t a path to VP roles — strategic influence is.

Women face real bias — and need real processes to advocate for themselves consistently.

Slowing down is a power move. Mindfulness and intentionality create better leaders.

You don’t need 100% readiness to go for the next role. Confidence comes after action, not before.

Strategic relationships are leadership — not politics. Influence grows through connection.

You deserve a seat at the table as much as anyone else. None of this is innate — leadership is learnable.

🎧 Sound Bites

“You can’t outperform your way into leadership.”

“Create visibility into your work — you’re already doing great things.”

“Impact requires being at the table.”

“Slowing down to think is not laziness — it’s leadership.”

“This is not about fixing women — it’s about helping them navigate the system.”
