Women in Sales Leadership

This one's personal. I'm in the middle of a pivot myself, shifting my business to focus on coaching founders and CEOs while still championing the sales leaders I love.

I share the career mistakes I used...

In this episode I'm digging into something I think every high performer wrestles with quietly, usually in their own head: what career growth actually means once you're past the early, climb-fast years.
