Showing up as a Leader is about supporting you on your own leadership journey – regardless of your official title or role.

Key Takeaways:
- You don’t need a perfect roadmap to succeed—curiosity is the key driver of growth.
- Your career is yours to navigate; don’t wait for your manager to chart your path.
- Leadership is a behavior, not a title—show up, speak up, and step up.
- Lead yourself with intention—manage your energy, keep your promises, and grow without permission.
If you’ve ever:
- Said “yes” to less than you’re worth
- Stayed silent instead of negotiating
- Wondered if you’re really ready to lead…
This series is for you.
Each month, I join Dr. Rosie Ward on the Show Up as a Leader podcast to bring you clear, unapologetic strategies for elevating your career—and your compensation.
We talk:
- Salary negotiation tactics that actually work
- How to navigate career transitions with clarity and confidence
- Building leadership presence without losing yourself
- And everything in between that gets you paid and powerful
No fluff. No jargon. Just real talk from a former Chief People Officer who knows what it takes to get to the top—and get paid like it.
