Aging powerfully is more than a personal choice—it's a leadership strategy rooted in healthspan.In this insightful podcast episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, Karen sits down with corporate veteran and health-span advocate Corinne Briaud to talk about how women in senior roles can redefine resilience, prevent burnout, and lead longer, healthier careers. From sleep to systemic change, this conversation challenges the outdated hustle narrative and introduces healthspan—the number of years you live in good health—as a cornerstone of sustainable leadership.Whether you're already feeling the toll of burnout or looking to prevent it, this episode gives you the tools—and the permission—to start prioritizing your well-being without guilt.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:Health is your leadership asset. Your energy, clarity, and decision-making all depend on it—and neglecting it can quietly undermine your influence and credibility.Redefine resilience. True resilience isn't pushing through—it's recovery. Without rest and repair, even high performance becomes self-sabotage.Sleep is non-negotiable. Chronic sleep deprivation affects the brain like alcohol. You wouldn't lead drunk—so why lead exhausted?Start small, but start now. Whether it's a 30-minute walk or a full workout, consistency builds capability and confidence over time.Companies need to catch up. Supporting women's healthspan is not just a moral imperative—it drives retention, engagement, and productivity."Your chronological age doesn't matter. What matters is your biological age. And the way you're going to take care of your biological age is to think about health span." — Corinne BriaudWhen women leaders thrive, companies thrive.

Send us a textSase Janki, CEO of J-SAS, talked about the challenges organizations face regarding cybersecurity protection and compliance. He identified three major pain points: the fragmentation caused by multiple tools complicating compliance efforts, audit hesitancy stemming from uncertainty about compliance status, and the complexity and cost of traditional Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) tools that deter smaller organizations from pursuing compliance initiatives. He cautioned against a checkbox mentality and emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach that includes ongoing monitoring and automated evidence collection.Sase also underscored the critical role of compliance for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), asserting that it is essential for demonstrating security capabilities and creating new revenue streams. He proposed a strategy for MSPs to conduct compliance assessments, which could reveal security gaps and lead to additional service offerings. Compliance should be viewed as a structured approach to managing security needs rather than an overwhelming task.See more from J-SAS by clicking here.

Welcome to another episode of The Chief Strategy Officer Podcast! Today, we're tackling a topic that sits at the heart of every successful organization: purpose. For years, the question of what purpose an organization should hold has typically sat outside the auspices of the strategy office. It was the remit of the CEO or board, maybe corporate communications or the HR. But it is increasingly becoming a central strategic lever, especially as the success of strategy depends on activating ecosystem partners, employees, communities … and it is one we need to better understand.  How can companies define a purpose that isn't just a slogan but a real driver of strategic decisions? How does purpose impact employee motivation, customer engagement, and long-term competitive advantage? And most importantly, how can CSOs play a role in shaping and embedding purpose in a way that creates measurable business impact? To explore these questions, we're joined by David Zapata, Corporate Head of Strategy at Grupo Bancolombia, and Claudia Ludovisi, former head of strategy at Disney ABC, assistant Dean of Marketing and Strategy at Pepperdine Business School, who has done interest research into the role of purpose in strategy. Together, they share firsthand experiences and research-driven insights on how organizations can make purpose actionable, sustainable, and truly transformative. In this episode, we explore: Why purpose isn't just about branding—it should drive real business decisions. The biggest mistake companies make when defining their purpose. How to measure whether purpose is actually working inside your organization. The evolving role of AI in shaping personalized and scalable purpose-driven strategies. Insights and a step-by-step approach for crafting a purpose that aligns with strategy and capabilities for your organization. Whether you're refining your company's purpose or just starting to explore its role in strategy, this episode is packed with insights to help you take a more structured and impactful approach.Learn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinkernetwork.com/Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networks Learn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinkernetwork.com/ Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networks

Do you get the impression there are people on your team trying hard to prove themselves? In this podcast episode, teamwork specialist Shannon Waller discusses the critical importance of self-awareness and the freedom to be oneself within a team environment. Understanding your strengths and embracing your true self is not just for personal benefit; it serves as a strategic advantage for entrepreneurial teams. Download Episode Transcript Show Notes: The Problem With Proving Oneself The idea of proving oneself seems positive, showing hard work and ambition, but it can often lead to focusing narrowly on self-evaluation instead of collaboration. The self-focus can lead to “head trash” where people measure themselves against the ideal and end up in “The Gap,” where they're constantly frustrated that they aren't further ahead than where they are. The Value Of Self-Awareness Knowing one's strengths and weaknesses is essential for effective teamwork. This self-awareness allows greater appreciation for others' complementary strengths, which can be combined to more efficiently complete collective goals. Knowing your own weaknesses helps you stay away from committing to roles on projects you're not best suited for, thereby preventing bottlenecks. When people know what their strengths are, they're free to be more creative within those areas. Growing Great Leadership In Dan Sullivan's newest Ambition Series book, Growing Great Leadership, he explains how being a great leader includes demonstrating your own growth using The 4 C's Formula®. The 4 C's Formula: Commitment to a scary new project means having to experience courage to try something new with many unknowns in order to gain new capabilities that give you greater confidence to tackle the next big commitment, renewing the cycle. For a company to expand, each person, each team, and each capability needs to be constantly getting better through 4 C's growth. Profiles To Help You Know Yourself Kolbe: How you take action. PRINT®: Your motivations. CliftonStrengths®: Your strengths and non-strengths. DISC: Your personality and behavioral style. Working Genius®: Where you thrive on team projects. Growth Over Perfectionism Perfectionists won't try something unless they know they can nail it the first time. Entrepreneurial companies need growth-minded people who are willing to take risks, try, and learn from both success and failure. Strategic Advantage “Success is the freedom to be yourself.” —Kathy Kolbe People who have the freedom to be themselves are open-minded, curious about other people, trustworthy, collaborative, productive, creative, and successful. When people don't have to focus inwardly, trying to prove themselves, they're free to be more strategic and focused on the best end results.

Entrepreneurs are always looking for an edge to stand out from their competition. One of the best ways to do this is by attracting and retaining driven talent and building a culture and atmosphere that the teams and customers enjoy working with. And that's precisely what today's guest has been doing for over two decades. Veronique James is the CEO and founder of the James Agency, a full-service integrated marketing agency in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she's worked with clients like USA Pickleball, Northern Arizona University, Travel Costa Mesa, and the Phoenix Children's Foundation, to name just a few. She prides herself on building a respectful, honest, and ego-free environment and helps clients connect their brand to their audience with authenticity. In our conversation, she shared how she finds moments of calm in her hectic schedule, the hard lessons that helped her build a high-performance luxury agency that retains clients and talent, and the mistakes that so many businesses make when trying to find their ideal customers. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How Veronique's first job at a marketing agency showed her what not to do as she started to build and grow her business. Why the James Agency avoids churning employees, stays lean, and maintains a strong culture even when scaling. Why customers are hungrier than ever for authenticity. How Veronique is using AI as a supplement–not a replacement–at work. What Veronique did during the COVID pandemic to avoid cutting a single employee, maintain culture, and keep up morale during what was otherwise a very challenging year for her business. How to screen prospective clients early on–and help a client that isn't a good fit leave on their own.
