Episode notes
You finally reach senior leadership, but the room feels different than you imagined. You're interrupted mid-sentence, told to smile more during conflict, labeled as too intense when you hold people accountable. The shock isn't that these things happen. It’s that they happen at the top, in rooms where you thought respect would be a given. Tune in this week as I break down what women aren't told about power at the top. You’ll learn specific tools for navigating dysfunctional cultures, understanding when feedback is about their discomfort versus your performance, and knowing when it's time to walk—but from clarity, not exhaustion.
