Ep 152: Preparing Quiet Talent for Leadership Roles
Mon Feb 02 2026
A senior leader asked how to support a talented woman who's quiet in meetings and doesn't look like a 'traditional' leader. We break down a simple three-step framework: the reality check (does she actually want the role?), finding her leadership style (there's more than one way to lead, thank god), and creating low-stakes practice opportunities. Whether you're supporting someone or wondering if you need to act like a guy (ahem, no), this one's for you. Plus: why showing up to a first meeting in activewear might actually be a power move, and why we're begging our Apple listeners to figure out how to leave a review!
