How can we advance more women in the middle to executive levels? Today on Women Leaders on the Move, host Natalie Benamou sits down with Rachel Ernst, a passionate advocate for women's leadership, to explore the challenges and opportunities women face as they rise to senior roles. Rachel shares her journey from a dedicated HR professional to launching her own venture focused on accelerating women in leadership.
The discussion covers strategies for staying relevant, navigating the demanding expectations of higher leadership roles, and the importance of setting boundaries for work-life balance. Rachel also offers practical advice on leveraging skills to transition into leadership positions and how women can authentically assert their power in the workplace.
Three Career Advancing Strategies:
1. Skills Over Experience: Women should focus on identifying and showcasing transferable skills rather than solely relying on experience. In a skills-based economy, demonstrating how your skills align with organizational needs is crucial for career advancement.
2. Strategic Boundary Setting: Setting clear boundaries around work hours and personal time is essential for maintaining work-life balance, especially in demanding leadership roles. Women can be highly effective by focusing on productivity within defined timeframes.
3. Authentic Leadership: Lead in a way that feels true to their strengths and values, rather than conforming to traditional leadership expectations. Embracing authenticity can empower you to thrive in leadership positions.
Three Quotes favorite Rachel Ernst:
1. It's not just about staying relevant; it's about understanding what relevance means to your organization and how you can uniquely contribute to its success.
2. "Leadership isn’t about fitting into a mold. It’s about carving your own path with the unique strengths you bring to the table."
3. "The journey to leadership is not just about climbing the ladder. It’s about knowing your worth, setting clear boundaries, and advocating for yourself and others."
Pay it forward: If you know a woman who could use this advice, we would be so honored if you would rate, review the show and share the episode.
Thank you Rachel for being our featured guest today.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to transform a significant business setback into a successful venture? Meet Kate Wollf, the resilient CEO and Founder of Lupine Creative. She sits down with host, Natalie Benamou, to share her extraordinary entrepreneur journey.
Influenced by her trailblazing grandmother, Kate's career spans major advertising agencies and even a stint at Theranos. Her story unfolds with remarkable triumphs and profound challenges, culminating in the launch of her innovative new product, LumiCup.
From the thrill of landing big clients like Google and Disney with her company Lupine to the crushing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kate's entrepreneurial path includes a high dose of resilience.
