Sky High Coaching Conversations

What does it really take to keep going when you are creating something bigger for your life, work, family, leadership, relationships or next chapter?

In this episode of Sky High Coaching Conversations, Janelle Ryan explores resilience, not as pushing through, pretending everything is fine or doing it all alone, but as the capacity to stay connected to your vision when the path becomes uncomfortable, uncertain or bigger than you expected.

If you have a big dream, a quiet desire, a new direction or a goal that matters deeply to you, this conversation will help you think differently about setbacks, support, cheerleaders, decision-making, adaptability, optimism and the small practices that help you keep moving.

This is an episode for anyone who is creating something more and wants to build the resilience to stay with it.

We all know the person.

The colleague who complains before the meeting has even started. The family member who can’t let a happy moment stay happy. The friend whose drama somehow becomes everyone else’s afternoon.

Negative people can be exhausting, especially when you can’t simply avoid them.

In this episode, Janelle talks about how to be around negativity without absorbing it, fixing it, joining it or becoming someone you don’t want to be.

This isn’t about pretending people don’t affect you. It’s about noticing what happens inside you, choosing your response, and keeping hold of yourself when someone else’s mood starts filling the room.

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling drained, annoyed or like someone else’s energy came home with you, this one is for you.

Have you ever walked into a money conversation knowing what you wanted to ask for, then heard yourself ask for less?

Maybe it was a salary conversation. Maybe it was a fee. Maybe it was a proposal, a scope change, a promotion conversation, or that “quick extra thing” that quietly became part of the job.

In this episode of Sky High Coaching Conversations, Janelle Ryan explores one of the most expensive patterns many intelligent women carry: making the ask smaller before anyone else has even responded.

This is not about becoming pushy, arrogant or demanding. It is about learning to stay with yourself when money, value, visibility and courage are on the table.

Because making more money is not only about market rates, pricing, salary bands or negotiation strategy. It is also about the woman making the ask.

Can she say the number she actually wants?

Can she let someone consider it without rescuing them?

Can she stop making the money conversation easier for everyone except herself?

If you have ever softened a fee, reduced a salary request, added more for free, or said “I’m flexible” before anyone asked you to be, this episode will speak directly to you.

You will also hear a practical tool you can use before your next money conversation, so you can prepare not only the numbers, but yourself to hold them.

Promoted from within? That moment can feel exciting, validating… and unexpectedly awkward.

One day you’re sitting beside people as a peer. The next, they’re looking to you for decisions, standards, feedback and direction.

In this episode of Sky High Coaching Conversations, Janelle explores the identity shift that happens when you become the boss of people who used to be your colleagues. Not the polished LinkedIn version of leadership, but the very human version: wanting to stay warm, wanting to be liked, navigating changed friendships, holding authority, and learning how to lead without becoming someone you’re not.

If you’ve recently been promoted, are stepping into leadership, or are finding it harder than expected to lead former peers, this conversation will help you feel less alone inside the transition.

Why do some success strategies work beautifully for other people, but feel wrong, heavy or impossible when you try to follow them?

In this episode of Sky High Coaching Conversations, Janelle explores why the answer isn’t always to try harder, be more disciplined or find yet another plan. For high-achieving professionals, leaders and business owners, this conversation is about the quiet cost of copying someone else’s formula and what it means to build success, leadership and confidence in a way that actually fits who you are.

If you’ve ever followed the advice, tried the strategy, or wondered why everyone else’s plan doesn’t seem to work for you, this episode will give you a very different way to think about growth, self-trust and your next chapter.

Have you ever felt like you’re about to be found out at work, or in business?

Impostor Syndrome is often treated as proof that we don’t belong, but what if it’s sometimes a sign of something else?

In this episode of Sky High Coaching Conversations, Janelle Ryan explores why high performers, leaders, employees and entrepreneurs often feel like impostors just as they’re stretching into more responsibility, visibility and influence.

If you’ve been overworking, overpreparing, second-guessing yourself or trying to prove your place, this conversation will help you see self-doubt differently, and stop letting it lead.

What do you do when you care deeply about your work, but it keeps coming home in your head?

This episode is for the employee navigating workplace pressure, change, restructuring, unclear communication or high expectations, and for the entrepreneur or business owner carrying the emotional weight of clients, launches, visibility, money and results.

If you’ve ever found yourself replaying work conversations at night, struggling to switch off, checking your inbox when you promised yourself you were done, or feeling like work stress is stealing the joy from your everyday life, this conversation will meet you there.

This is not about becoming detached.

It is not about caring less.

And it is definitely not about lowering your standards.

In this episode of Sky High Coaching Conversations, Janelle explores why work can feel so personal for intelligent, high-performing women who care deeply about doing meaningful, excellent work.

Whether you’re leading inside an organisation or building something of your own, this conversation will help you look at the emotional weight of work in a different way, so your work can matter deeply without taking over your whole inner world.

Some of the most capable professionals I meet keep finishing second when they go for executive and director roles.

Not because they’re not qualified. Not because they don’t interview well. And not because they didn’t 'prepare enough'.

At senior level, interviews aren’t really about competence. They’re a 'real job' conversation. The panel is assessing what it will feel like to have you in the room when things get challenging, messy, political, high-stakes or exposed.

In this episode, I unpack the shift that helps you stop sounding like a brilliant participant and start sounding like the leader who can hold the role.

I talk about the job behind the job, the three things senior interviews usually come down to, how to answer in a way that shows leadership under pressure, and how to handle the dreaded weaknesses question without doing the “I’m a perfectionist” dance.

If you’re going for a senior leadership role, an executive position, or a director appointment, this will help you walk in steadier, clearer, and far more appointable.

What if the exhaustion you are feeling has nothing to do with how hard you are working - and everything to do with five very specific, very fixable things?

Leadership burnout is one of the most common, and least talked about, experiences in the lives of high-achieving women. It shows up as chronic fatigue, anxiety, irritability, and that hollow feeling that used to come only on Sunday nights but now arrives on Tuesday mornings too.

In this episode, Janelle Ryan gets honest about the real reasons leaders burn out. Not the surface stuff. The deeper patterns that keep smart, capable, dedicated professionals running on empty - often without even realising how depleted they have become.

If you have ever sat in your car after a meeting and wondered what on earth you are doing... if you have performed confidence while privately questioning everything... if you feel lonely at the top in a way you would never admit out loud... this episode is for you.

Some of what Janelle covers will surprise you. One cause has nothing to do with your workload. Another is something almost every leader experiences but almost nobody admits to. And the one that tends to hit hardest? It has a name, but most leaders never say it out loud.

Each of the five comes with one practical thing you can try today. Not someday. Today.

What if the next level of your life asks you to be more visible than you’ve ever been before? 

In this episode of Sky High Coaching Conversations, Janelle Ryan explores what it really takes to move through the fear of visibility and show up more fully in the rooms that shape your life.

From leadership and business to dating, family and everyday conversations, this episode unpacks why so many high-achieving women hold themselves back, soften themselves, edit themselves and wait to feel ready before they let themselves be fully seen.

Using the surprising example of reality TV, Janelle explores courage, presence, confidence and the hidden patterns that keep women invisible, even when they are deeply capable.

You’ll hear why presence comes before performance, how self-editing chips away at influence and connection, and what it looks like to build the kind of grounded visibility that feels authentic rather than performative.

If you have ever downplayed your opinion, hesitated to put yourself forward, softened your truth or made yourself smaller than the moment required, this episode will land.
