Leadership Sovereignty Podcast: Career Growth and Promotion · 2025-11-24 · 16 min
Curiosity is the differentiator. But it only works when everything else is already in place. In this episode of the Leadership Sovereignty Podcast, host Ralph Owens and co-host Terry Baylor continue their conversation with Shachella James - VP of Enterprise Systems at CenterPoint Energy. This is Part 2 of 5. Shachella introduces the SPICE framework - Sponsorship, Performance, Image, Curiosity, and Exposure - the five-part career acceleration model she built from Harvey Coleman's PIE framework and has used to guide her own advancement and the advancement of others. She also draws a powerful parallel between artificial intelligence and strategic leadership: the breadth and depth of what you can get out of AI is entirely anchored in the power of the question you ask. So is your career.
