August 10 Episode 296: Why Great Directors Don't Become VPs
What if the very thing you've been emphasizing in executive interviews is the reason you're being passed over? In this episode, I challenge one of the biggest assumptions ambitious Directors and Senior Directors make as they pursue VP and executive roles. If you've ever felt like your experience isn't "big enough" or wondered what separates the leaders who make the leap from those who don't, this conversation may change the way you think about your career; and how you talk about it. You may be much closer than you think.

July 27 Episode 294: The Day You Stopped Wanting the Promotion
You don't usually abandon a meaningful goal all at once. More often, your commitment slowly fades the moment you convince yourself you don't know how to get there.

In this week's podcast, we're unpacking the hidden relationship between commitment and knowhow and why closing that gap is often the difference between settling and achieving what you originally set out to do.

June 29 Episode 290: The Conversation Beneath the Conversation
Over the years, executives have brought me what they believed was the problem. More often than not, we discovered we were solving something entirely different. The higher you rise, the more dangerous it becomes to mistake your assumptions for strategy. Join me for this week's podcast episode, The Conversation Beneath the Conversation, where I explore why the biggest breakthroughs in leadership often begin by questioning the problem you think you're trying to solve.

Most leaders think the next level of their career requires more strategy, stronger communication, or better executive presence.

Sometimes it does.

But at a certain level, the bigger challenge is expanding your capacity for discomfort.

Rejection. Disapproval. Uncertainty. Exposure. Standing alone. Difficult feedback.

Let's talk about it.
