The Lucy Gernon Show

Has your manager ever told you, “I think you need to work on your executive presence”... and then left you wondering what on earth that a ctually means? Here’s the thing, executive presence is important, particularly for women in leadership. But “you need more executive presence” is incredibly vague feedback. And when you’re already prone to overthinking, vague feedback can send you into a full le...

You got the promotion. You’re finally sitting at the executive table. So why is there still a little voice in your head asking, “What if they realise I’m not as good as they think I am?” You’ve probably been there. You walk into a senior meeting knowing your stuff. You’ve got years of experience. You’ve delivered results. People trust you. And yet, when someone challenges you, asks a question you...

What if the problem isn’t that you’re not ready for senior leadership… but that you haven’t yet recognised that you already are? After coaching hundreds of high-performing women in leadership, I’ve noticed a pattern: most women don’t have a capability problem. They have a belief problem. They’re already delivering results, influencing decisions, solving complex problems and creating serious impact...

What if the career you’ve worked so hard to build didn’t have to cost you the life you actually want to live? For so many ambitious women, reaching senior leadership can feel like a trade-off. You work longer hours. You become permanently available. You say yes because you want to be seen as committed. You take on more because you know you can handle it. And before you know it, you're success...

Have you ever been your own toughest critic? You know the voice. The one that tells you you're not ready. That everyone else knows more than you. That replays conversations long after they're over and convinces you that you're somehow not enough. The truth is, if you're a woman in leadership, that inner critic may be costing you far more than you realise. Ready to Rebuild Your...

What if the confidence you've been searching for isn't something you find... but something you build? Every successful woman leader has a story. A story of self-doubt. A story of pushing through burnout. A story of wondering if she was good enough. In this special episode of The Lucy Gernon Show, I sat down with three remarkable members of the 3SIXTY Leaders Club - Lisa Nash, Terry O&apo...

Self-doubt isn't protecting you. It's quietly stealing opportunities you deserve. It doesn't announce itself loudly. Instead, it convinces you to prepare a little longer, stay quiet in one more meeting, wait until you're "ready", or hope someone else notices your hard work. And before you know it, months or even years have passed... In this episode of The Lucy Gernon...

Have you ever achieved everything you thought you wanted and still wondered if you're truly worthy of more? Despite the promotions, qualifications and years of experience, so many women leaders still struggle with one thing: believing they deserve success, support and investment in themselves. In this episode of The Lucy Gernon Show, I am joined by executive coach and former Executive Vice Pr...

What if the thing holding you back isn’t a lack of capability… but a lack of belief in your own capability? You’ve worked hard. You’ve built the experience. You deliver results. Yet somehow, you still find yourself questioning whether you’re ready for the next opportunity. Sound familiar? In this episode of The Lucy Gernon Show, I dive deep into the hidden ways imposter syndrome shows up in the li...

Are you really ambitious or have you simply become addicted to being busy? You work hard. You care deeply. You hold everything together. But what if the constant pressure, the endless to-do list, and the inability to switch off aren't signs of success at all? What if they're coping mechanisms? In this episode of The Lucy Gernon Show, I am joined by neuroscientist, author and mindset expe...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever started doubting yourself because of something that happened years ago? Maybe it was a difficult boss. A promotion you didn’t get.

In this opening episode of Season 2 of The Lucy Gernon Show, I explo...

Send us Fan Mail What is it really costing you to be the one who jumps in and fixes everything for everyone? On the outside, it looks like leadership. You’re reliable. Capable. The one people trust.
