http://www.sherylkline.com/blogIn the latest Fearless Female Leadership interview, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Erika Irby, the Director, GTM Small Medium and Corporate Business, Americas at Microsoft, to explore how embracing your personal story can fuel your professional impact. Erika's energy, authenticity, and strategic insight lit up the conversation as we discussed storytelling, visibility, and fearless leadership—especially as women in tech.Erika's leadership journey began early—at just 17, she chose to stay behind and start college while her military family moved overseas. That moment, powered by grit and independence, set the tone for her lifelong mantra: "I will figure it out." Erika's resilience, her trust in the universe, and her ability to turn obstacles into growth moments have shaped an inspiring career across education, tech, and executive leadership.We also dug into the challenges women face with visibility, self-advocacy, and storytelling—especially in corporate environments. Erika emphasized the power of proactively sharing wins, creating a “walking deck” of your professional narrative, and boldly reaching out to people who can open new doors. Her message? Stop waiting. Own your story. Be strategic. Be seen.Key takeaways from the interview:0:01:15 – Erika's early independence—staying in the U.S. while her family moved abroad—instilled a lifelong sense of self-reliance and adaptability.0:02:25 – Her two personal mantras: “The universe provides” and “I will figure it out.” These guide her through both triumphs and setbacks.0:04:02 – Even when things fall apart—like losing a job or a relationship—there's purpose in the pain. Stay open to the redirection.0:07:01 – Erika's career path from teacher to tech leader highlights the power of transferable skills and trusting your evolution.0:09:23 – Confidence is built on owning your unique journey. Even a nontraditional background has tremendous value.0:12:01 – Diversity in leadership (gender, race, and background) isn't just fair—it's essential for innovation and AI inclusivity.0:14:33 – “Your work won't speak for itself.” Erika recommends monthly impact recaps to leadership—even if it feels bold.0:17:29 – Use AI tools like Copilot to amplify your voice—but remember, you are the pilot.0:18:55 – Don't just “like” on LinkedIn—add thoughtful context, tag mentors, and share your expertise to establish thought leadership.0:21:11 – Be bold and reach out to people, even if they're senior or don't know you. 80% of the time, they'll say yes.0:24:15 – Always have a “walking deck”—a personal presentation that shares your career highlights, aspirations, and values.If you're interested in being featured on the Fearless Female Leadership podcast, or you're a leader looking to gain clarity on ‘what's next', how to build more cohesive and high-performing teams, and lead with greater confidence and influence, let's have a confidential conversation.Cheering you on always!– Sheryl

Is nuclear deterrence an outdated policy? And if so, what's holding us back from transitioning to a nuclear ban once and for all? What are the racial and gendered dimensions of nuclear weapons production and nuclear waste storage? How do these policies impact marginalized communities, both domestically and abroad? What role can youth action play in shifting nuclear politics and advocating for lasting peace at local and UN levels?In this interview with Rebecca Irby, founder of P.E.A.C. Institute and organizer of the upcoming 24-Hour Global Pause for Peace to be held on October 4, 2025, we dive into the complex world of nuclear politics, exploring what we know and what we don't.From the impact of nuclear weapons testing and waste storage on marginalized communities to the rising threats and calls for nuclear deterrence, we touch on the underplayed significance of the UN treaty to ban nuclear weapons, the evolving divestment movement in the nuclear field, and the looming collapse of the industry as only a few political leaders continue to support nuclear armament.We also address how we can engage youth in these critical conversations, emphasizing the importance of including their voices in decision-making processes and the need of peace education programs in supporting the next generations to shape the future of International Relations and, hopefully, build a more peaceful world.Join us in this exploration, ⁠⁠follow us on LinkedIn ⁠⁠and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ subscribe to our podcast newsletter community here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Recommended links to this episode:Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear WeaponsOppenheimer: what you need to know before watchingRacism and nuclear weaponsThe Ultimate Coloniser: Challenging Racism and White Supremacy in Nuclear Weapons Policy MakingThey didn't know their backyard creek carried nuclear waste.

This week's guest got her start in hospitality PR before trying her hand at launching a restaurant of her own. Lacey Irby's unique perspective as storyteller and tastemaker, coupled with inventive dishes courtesy of executive chef Ryan Brosseau, has helped turn Dear Margaret into a dining experience worth writing home about. She comes by the studio to tell us how they transformed an old dilapidated seafood restaurant into a space for a fine dining concept and offers some practical advice for aspirant restaurateurs looking to strike out on their own. We talk: the influence of influencers on the restaurant media landscape, running a nimble operation, getting your kids to touch tables, and so much more.

It is well-known that the institution of marriage has changed dramatically in the past few decades. However, very little research has focused on the role of religious institutions in helping couples form and maintain their relationships. Guiding God's Marriage: Faith and Social Change in Premarital Counseling (NYU Press, 2024) by Dr. Courtney Irby offers an examination of Christian marriage preparation programs, exploring their efforts to stabilise the institution of marriage and highlighting the tension between individualism and community in people's relational lives. Marriage preparation programs offer a useful lens through which to trace shifts in both religious and family institutions because they set out clear and intentional articulations of marriage ideologies and gendered relationship scripts by faith communities. By documenting the changes in content and practices of Christian premarital education along with its advice regarding what makes a good marriage, the book charts the ways that religious communities have been transformed by and have helped to contribute to the individualization of faith and relationships. Featuring archival research as well as first hand observations of four marriage preparation courses—two Protestant and two Catholic—along with seventy interviews with participating couples and leaders of these and other programs, the book offers a rare view of visions about how to realise a successful and faith-filled relationship. This examination of marriage classes offers key insight into how religious communities have responded to cultural changes in marriage, gender, sexuality, and intimacy. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
