Send us Fan MailYour plate is full, and your manager keeps adding to it. You know what needs to come off so you can focus on the work that matters most, but every time you bring it up, the conversation goes the same way. You explain how stretched you are. Your manager listens, acknowledges the load, and nothing actually changes.Here is what most women leaders miss: this conversation is not really a request for relief. It is a decision the two of you need to make together about where your time creates the most value.In this Monday Momentum episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton continues the June series on the difficult conversations women leaders walk into, braced for a fight. This third episode reveals why asking your manager for relief rarely works, and how reframing the conversation as a strategic decision changes what your manager hears, how they respond, and what actually shifts on your plate.What You'll LearnWhy asking for relief often lands as a personal problem instead of a business problem.The difference between a real negotiation, like asking for a raise or promotion, and a working agreement about how your time is spent.A simple opening phrase you can use to lead with the decision instead of the overwhelm.One follow-up question that helps you uncover where your manager sees your time creating the most value.Who This Is ForThis episode is for women leaders, managers, and high-performing professionals who want to have a better conversation about workload, priorities, and time without sounding overwhelmed or asking permission.Your Action StepIf there is a conversation you have been putting off about your workload or what needs to come off your plate, prepare it as a decision. Have the conversation this week and lead with how you are thinking about your priorities. Then ask where your time creates the most value. Notice what changes when you stop walking in to ask for relief and start walking in to decide.AI PromptUse this prompt to prepare for a workload or priorities conversation with your manager. Paste it into your preferred AI assistant and answer the questions as they come.I'm a [role] in [industry]. I have an upcoming conversation with my manager about my workload, my priorities, or something on my plate that needs to shift. Help me frame this as a decision we're making together rather than a request for permission to let something go.Ask me 3 questions:What is currently on my plate, and what do I think needs to shift?Where do I believe my time creates the most value for the team or the business?What outcome do I want this conversation to produce?Then write:One opening phrase that frames this as a decision we're making together about my time, not a request for permission to let something go.One follow-up question that surfaces where my manager sees my time creating the most value.Constraints:Forward-facing tone.No language that signals overwhelm or asks permission.Must carry the same weight as “I want to walk you through how I'm thinking about my priorities, and figure out together what needs to shift.”Must sound like a leader bringing a strategic decision to a peer, not someone asking for relief.Avoid softening language like “just,” “a little,” “maybe,” “I was thinking,” or “I wanted to mention.”The follow-up question must invite real information about priorities, not a yes-or-no response.Example output style:Opening phrase: “I want to walk you through how I'm thinking about my priorities, and figure out together what needs to shift.”Follow-up question: “Where do you see my time creating the most value right now?”Common Questions About Workload ConversationsWhat should I say when my manager keeps adding to my plate?Lead with how you are thinking about your priorities and frame the conversation as a decision about where your time creates the most value.How do I talk about workload without sounding overwhelmed?Focus on priorities, business impact, and what needs to shift rather than describing how stressed you feel.What is the difference between asking for relief and making a decision about workload?Asking for relief often sounds personal, while a decision conversation focuses on where your time creates the most value for the team or business.Ready to Go Deeper?Book a complimentary Leadership Strategy Call with Kele to talk through where you are, where you want to go, and what it will take to get there.About Your HostKele Belton is a communication and leadership trainer who specializes in helping women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with KeleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

To what extent is leadership success contingent on specific industry expertise? Marcia Medrano began her career in buildings, not transit. Yet, her experience developing and guiding teams, budgets, and procurement projects is proof that people management is not bound by sector—as long as you're willing to make the most of the experts around you.In this episode of Master Builder, Riccardo and Shormila sit down with the Executive Vice President of Capital Projects at Metrolinx to explore what it takes to rise to leadership without pretending you're an expert in everything. Marcia traces her path from architecture and vertical infrastructure to transit delivery and the core lesson that's shaped her career: big infrastructure delivery is fundamentally about people—building trust, aligning teams, and getting things done. Marcia doesn't hesitate to push back against conventions and assumptions. Choosing to leverage her parallel expertise rather than be daunted by a new sector, she often asks, “Why not?” Over and over, she sees the question unlock progress in new and exciting approaches for the infrastructure industry.The three experts hold a candid discussion about impostor syndrome and women in leadership, the superiority of alliance projects, and the importance of transparency on all sides of a major programme. They call out the danger of blindly following rigid structures and the shifting of the status quo as the Canadian infrastructure industry dives into ever larger and more ambitious projects. Throughout it all, Marcia champions a new understanding of steering the ship, and all the assets that come along with “leading like a woman.”Key takeawaysThe relationship-building and human connection that underpin infrastructure delivery success;How transparency drives success, however varied a team's expertise and experience; Why incentivizing on-the-ground solutions and cooperation outweighs claims that stall progress at every turn;The importance of updated governance and project-wide empowerment on the owner side of collaborative contracts;What's poised to change for women in infrastructure leadership.Quote“Challenging our own biases of the things that we know and the things that we don't know is part of challenging the status quo.” - Marcia MedranoThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Navigating Major Programmes, Season 2 Episode 6 with Lawrence Rowland: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s2/23 Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.comFollow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/Follow Marcia Medrano: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcia-medrano-34a2962a/

Send us Fan MailGetting promoted from a remote role is not only a visibility problem, it is a perception problem. You are good at your job. You hit your deadlines. Your manager respects you. And yet when promotion conversations happen, your name is not the first one that comes up, and you suspect it is because you are remote. No one has said it to your face, but you feel it. The truth is, remote is not a career limitation. It is a communication and strategy problem, and those are solvable.In this episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton walks through the Remote Visibility Framework, a three-part strategy for high-performing women leaders who are doing excellent work remotely and still being overlooked for promotion. Through the story of Simone, a composite client who had not been promoted in two years despite strong performance, Kele unpacks why remote workers often face a double bind: their work and thinking are not consistently reaching decision makers (a visibility problem), AND decision makers form quiet assumptions about their ambition that are never challenged (a perception problem). The framework gives you three specific strategies for solving both, without requiring you to be in an office you are not in.What You Will Learn:The two problems that hide behind the question of remote advancement, and why most advice only addresses one of them, leaving you stuck even after you have done everything right.The 2-3 sentence framing technique that turns any project handoff into a window into your strategic thinking, in less than two minutes per message.How to replace the hallway conversation when you cannot be in the office, with three calibrated options depending on what your organization's culture actually supports.The exact sentence one client used to surface the assumption her manager had quietly formed about her remote status, and how to adapt it for your own career conversation.Why the senior leader you are nervous to reach out to is often more open to a 15-minute learning conversation than you expect, and the framing that makes the ask land.The simple Friday message structure (three sentences) that built one client's visibility with leadership in under a month.Your Action Step:Identify which of the three strategies is the most urgent for you right now, and take one step this week: If your thinking is invisible because you are delivering work without explaining your reasoning, add two to three sentences of framing to your next project handoff.If you are doing excellent work in isolation, identify one senior stakeholder you want to build a meaningful touch point with this week, and take one step toward that.If there is an assumption in the silence that you have never corrected, ask your manager for a dedicated career conversation, not in the margins of your regular check-in, with that as the agenda.Mentioned in This Episode:The Executive Presence Series: Episode 168 (Visual), Episode 170 (Vocal), Episode 172 (Verbal), Episode 174 (Integration).About Your Host:Kele Belton is a communication and leadership facilitator, coach, and consultant who helps high-performing women in middle management build the communication and leadership strategies that get them recognized, sponsored, and promoted.Connect with Kele:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.comBook a Leadership Strategy Call (30 minutes, complimentary): https://calendly.com/kele-thetailoredapproach/leadership-strategy-call

Namaste Mossies, it's Friday again and this time it's HOT TAKES SZN 2 - go grab yourself a beverage with extra ice because the takes this time are HOT as they come. We kicked things off with Naina mounting a quick & passionate defence of her opinion from Hot Takes Pt 1 that drew some flak, with a special shoutout to the OG feminist - father Bhan.From there we got into our unreasonably unpopular opinions about the struggles of being drop dead gorgeous, the terrors of being invoice rich but cash poor, and the gaping wealth inequality between influencers and their internet overlords. The girls also wondered about the choice to be childfree, and debated if pets are better than kids (pets - 1, human child - 0, for now). Our studio audience stepped up with some certifiable controversial opinions - that men are the true masters of spreading gossip, and that apparently pigeons deserve justice.Meanwhile, our listeners were quite UNHINGED with the takes they sent in (NGL we were concerned). We're talking girl code on snitching about cheating friends, and a take on whether gay incest might be... okay?? Hope there's a mop nearby because your jaw will be on the floor.

In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda challenges the belief that women are "too much" and explores how cultural conditioning teaches many women to shrink themselves to maintain acceptance and harmony. Drawing from personal experience, leadership research, neuroscience, and behavioral psychology, Andrea explains why visibility can feel unsafe, how self-silencing affects confidence and income, and why taking up space is often a nervous system challenge rather than a capability issue. She shares practical strategies for trusting your intuition, setting boundaries without over-explaining, and reclaiming your authority in business and life. This episode is a powerful invitation for women to stop editing themselves and start leading from their full presence....CHAPTERS00:00 A Moment of Self-Abandonment 02:12 The Belief That You're Too Much 04:38 How Girls Are Taught to Stay Small 07:14 Why Visibility Feels Unsafe 10:22 Trusting Your Intuition Over Approval 13:48 The Cost of Over-Explaining 17:05 Taking Up Space and Owning Your Authority 20:11 Practical Ways to Stop Shrinking 23:02 The Ripple Effect of Visibility...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Business AuditTAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications and marketing.

From the time she was a little girl, Hayley Paige knew exactly what she wanted to do: design wedding dresses. And she did it. By her early thirties she had a million Instagram followers, a recurring spot on Say Yes to the Dress, and gowns selling in hundreds of stores worldwide. And then she lost all of it. Her name. Her Instagram. Her right to design. Even her right to publicly call herself Hayley Paige. What followed was years of fighting in court, broke, locked out of everything she had built, just to reclaim what should have been hers from the start. And when she finally did, she turned that experience into something bigger, founding A Girl You Might Know Foundation and She Is Cheval to make sure other women don't have to go through the same thing.

What does it take to lead a 100+ year-old travel company into its next chapter without losing the soul that made it legendary? In this episode of Distinguished, Dean Arun Upneja sits down with Jaclyn Leibl-Cote, President and CEO of Collette, a family-owned guided travel brand since 1918. As the first woman to lead the company in its century-long history, Jaclyn has earned her role through experience, starting as a tour guide and growing into leadership across marketing, product, and global strategy. In this conversation, Jaclyn talks about how Collette is thoughtfully integrating AI and data into a deeply human-centered brand. She also shares personal impact moments from her travels, ranging from a village in Peru to a powerful conversation in the Middle East, that have shaped her leadership philosophy. This episode will challenge you to think differently about how legacy and disruption are not opposites, and why curiosity may be the most essential leadership skill of all. Subscribe to Distinguished wherever you listen to podcasts and learn more at bu.edu/hospitality. To join the conversation, email sha@bu.edu. The Distinguished podcast is produced by the Boston University School of Hospitality Administration. Host: Arun Upneja, Dean Producer: Mara Littman Research: Lan Lu Editing: Isabella Laikin Sound Engineering: Andrew Hallock Email us at shadean@bu.eduThe “Distinguished” podcast is produced by Boston University School of Hospitality Administration. Host: Arun Upneja, DeanProducer: Mara Littman, Executive Director of Strategic Operations and Corporate RelationsResearch and Content Creation: Lu LanEditing: Isabella LaikinSound Engineer: Andrew HallockMusic: “Airport Lounge" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0

In this episode, Yanique Grant sits down with Dr. Kerriann M. Peart, organizational psychologist, executive coach, and founder of Island Rooted Co., for a conversation that connects leadership well-being directly to customer experience outcomes.Dr. Peart brings over 20 years of experience in organizational psychology, public health, and executive coaching, and her work challenges the idea that high performance should come at the expense of people. Drawing on her own journey as a Caribbean woman who navigated three cycles of burnout while building her consulting practice in corporate America, she offers leaders a grounded, practical framework for leading with clarity, cultural intelligence, and personal strategy.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEHow burned-out leaders show up to customers in three distinct patterns, and which one is the rarest and most powerfulWhy happy employees are defined by competence AND capacity, and how both translate directly to the customer experienceHow the anchored bias of "this is how we have always done it" is damaging customer interactions in Caribbean businessesThe difference between a growth mindset and an agile mindset, and why leaders in culturally diverse environments need the latterWhy humble leaders go further and last longer than those who demand to be followedThe one personal strategy shift that will change how customer experience professionals show up, even on their hardest daysBOOKS MENTIONEDThe Prophet by Kahlil GibranThe 48 Laws of Power by Robert GreeneThe Power of Now by Eckhart TolleCONNECT WITH DR.

What happens when the systems you've built are no longer working for you? In this conversation, Heather Cayouette, founder and CEO of Firefly Strategic Consulting and author of Reset the System, shares practical insights for leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone feeling overwhelmed by competing priorities. From burnout and decision fatigue to change management and organizational growth, this discussion explores how stepping back can create the clarity needed to move forward with intention. This Episode Covers: Why overwhelm is often a signal that a system needs attention, not proof that you're failing How leaders can identify what's truly causing stress and where to focus their energy The importance of pausing, reflecting, and making intentional decisions instead of constantly reacting Why women often feel pressure to keep pushing through and how to challenge that mindset How to prioritize effectively when everything feels urgent The realities of leading through change and why change management is often more about people than processes How organizational values can guide decisions, create alignment, and support long-term success The challenges founders face as organizations grow and how to avoid becoming the bottleneck Why building support systems and asking for help are critical leadership skills Whether you're leading a team, growing a business, managing a household, or navigating a season of change, this conversation offers a thoughtful reminder that taking a pause is not falling behind. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is step back, reassess, and reset what is no longer serving you.

DISCLAIMER: When I recorded this episode, I had no idea it would be released during the same week the Southern Baptist Convention would once again be debating the role of women in church leadership. The timing makes this conversation especially relevant, but this episode was not created in response to current events. The views shared reflect my understanding of the New Testament and its first-century context. As with any discussion of Scripture, I encourage listeners to study the text for themselves and engage thoughtfully, whether they ultimately agree or disagree with my conclusions.Have you ever wondered what the New Testament really says about women in leadership? This episode dives into the overlooked stories of women who carried letters, taught apostles, and led early churches—roles that challenge many of today's assumptions. The discussion explores how translation choices and church traditions have shifted the spotlight away from female leaders, even though their names and deeds are clearly documented in scripture. If you're ready to question long-held beliefs and reexamine what the New Testament actually shows about women's roles, this conversation is for you."Using scripture to tell half the church they have no place in leadership is not protection—it's spiritual bullying." - Tim WindersAccess all show and episode resources HEREEpisode Resources:NT90 Hub – This is the central website for the 90-day New Testament reading plan, with downloadable, printable plans, background information, and links to all episodes and resources.Episode Highlights:00:00 Women in Romans 1602:51 Why This Matters09:20 Reading Without Bias11:55 Phoebe Carried Romans18:44 Priscilla and Aquila19:55 Junia Named Apostle21:27 More Women in Romans22:34 Beyond Romans 1623:01 Lydia and House Churches24:05 Women Leaders Elsewhere26:09 Elect Lady and Authority28:03 Lois and Eunice Legacy28:34 Faith Shaped by Women28:59 Tabitha the Disciple29:36 Names Edited Over Time30:30 Why Hebrews Is Anonymous33:26 Case for Priscilla36:32 Pattern of Erasing Women37:09 Two Verses Objection38:51 Silence in Corinth Context42:25 Authority in Ephesus47:15 Three Kingdoms Backdrop49:16 Kingdom Breaks Ceilings51:46 Live the Text Today53:48 Final Challenge and Next

Most business frameworks women are taught were designed for someone else. The playbook says pattern your company after proven models of success, but those models were built for a different kind of founder operating inside a different kind of system. Melissa McCann Tilton, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Criteria, has spent two decades scaling companies from $20M to $100M+ across automotive, logistics, and HR tech. She makes a case that stops you cold: AI does not create efficiency. AI creates amplification. If your decisions, your culture, and your hiring are strong, AI will multiply that strength. If they're broken, AI will multiply the damage. For women entrepreneurs stuck at the revenue ceiling, this is the episode that reframes everything: the old system is finally cracking, and the founders who understand what AI actually does, not automate but amplify, are the ones who will build what comes next.In this episode, Melissa McCann-Tilton, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Criteria and I talk about why she believes the next three to five years will be the most fascinating period in work history, and why women have a rare opening to rewrite the rules right now.Melissa is direct about AI in that it creates amplification vs. the efficiency most people tout. If judgment is bad, AI makes it worse. If your core is right, AI makes it stronger. Melissa and I get into why productivity is the wrong metric, why so many of us feel worthy only when we are producing, and how that harmful societal programming is one of the components that keeps so many women led businesses fighting so hard to break through the million-dollar revenue mark in our businesses.Listen to why breaking the rules might be the smartest business move women can make this year.

What does it actually look like to lead people through a crisis — not just manage operations, but truly show up for the humans involved? In this episode of Leading Through Crisis, host Céline Williams sits down with Tracy Nolan, a Fortune 50 Senior Executive and global Board Leader with deep expertise in regulated industries, including healthcare and telecommunications. Tracy has led through it all: the closure of 27 retail stores as the last executive standing, being on a plane landing at Newark on the morning of 9/11 while working for Verizon, and managing 14,000 Sprint employees through both COVID-19 and a simultaneous merger with T-Mobile. Her philosophy? Jump in (beyond the operational checklist, beyond what the job description says), and treat your people the way you'd want to be treated. In this conversation, Tracy shares: - Why most leaders fail at crisis communication (and what to do instead) - How she ran "no-canned-questions" listening sessions that changed the way her teams trusted her - The "CEO for a day" roundtable method she uses to stay connected to frontline reality - Why feedback is a gift, regardless of your title - A powerful trust exercise every leader should do with their team today If you're a leader, executive, or manager who wants to build an organization that can not only survive a crisis but thrive through one, this episode is essential listening. — Tracy Nolan is a Fortune 50 senior executive and global board leader with deep experience in regulated industries, including healthcare and telecommunications.

Send us Fan MailExecutive presence shows up most clearly in the moments that test you. The hard question. The skeptical room. The presentation that matters. In this finale of the Executive Presence Series, we follow Diane, a composite client you may remember from Episode 172, into her first high-stakes boardroom moment as a new operations director. We walk through her presentation in four chronological moments: the walk-in, the opening sentence, the hard question, and the close, so you can experience how the visual, vocal, and verbal pillars actually work together when the pressure arrives.In this episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton closes the four-part Executive Presence Series by bringing all three pillars together in one real high-stakes moment. The episode is built around a single scenario: Diane, the composite client from Episode 172, now presenting a major vendor contract restructuring proposal to senior leadership. Through four chronological moments- the walk-in, the opening sentence, the hard question, and the close - Kele shows how the Three Anchors of Embodied Presence, the four vocal behaviors, and the language of authority all integrate when the pressure is real.This is the finale of the four-part Executive Presence Series. Each part built one layer of presence: Episode 168 on the visual pillar, Episode 170 on the vocal pillar, and Episode 172 on the verbal pillar. This episode integrates all three into a single high-stakes moment. The series moves from being seen, the throughline of the April visibility series, to being felt, which is what executive presence delivers.What You Will Learn:How to enter a high-stakes room so the people inside it have already started calibrating to your leadership before you make your case.The grounded breath that settles your pitch in the seconds before you speak, so your opening sentence lands with weight instead of nerves.What to do in the two seconds after a hard question that separates a defensive answer from an authoritative one.Why you cannot consciously think about three pillars in a live moment, and what to practice instead, so executive presence shows up automatically when it counts.How to close a presentation in a way that lands the ask cleanly, without the apologetic trailing-off that signals you are unsure of your own recommendation.The single most important reframe of the entire series: executive presence is not a costume you put on to look like a leader. It is the practice of letting the leader you already are come through clearly.Your Action Step:Pick one upcoming high-stakes moment and prepare for it across all three pillars:Choose one behavior from each pillar: one anchor from Episode 168 (visual), one vocal behavior from Episode 170, and one language swap from Episode 172.Write your three choices on a sticky note before the meeting. Then, in the moment, do not run a checklist. Be present.Afterward, reflect on which of the three came most naturally and which one needed the most attention. That tells you where to keep practicing.Listen to the Complete Executive Presence Series:Start the series with Episode 168: How to Build Executive Presence: 3 Anchors for Women Leaders (Part 1 of 4), on the visual pillar and the Three Anchors of Embodied Presence.Continue with Episode 170: Vocal Presence for Women Leaders: 4 Behaviors That Build Authority (Part 2 of 4), on pitch, pace, volume, and intentional pauses.Then Episode 172: The Words That Undermine Your Presence (Part 3 of 4), on the verbal pillar and the language of authority.About Your Host:Kele Belton is a communication and leadership facilitator, coach, and consultant who helps high-performing women in middle management build the communication and leadership strategies that get them recognized, sponsored, and promoted.Connect with Kele:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.comBook a Leadership Strategy Call (30 minutes, complimentary): https://calendly.com/kele-thetailoredapproach/leadership-strategy-call

Patricia Delgado: From Principal Ballerina to Tony Award Winner Growing up Cuban-American in Miami, Patricia Delgado found her love of performance early and spent seventeen years with Miami City Ballet, a decade of that as a principal dancer.

In this episode, Patricia opens up about the physical and emotional toll of stepping away from the only identity she had ever known, how she found her way into choreography alongside her husband Justin Peck, and what it meant to reconnect with her Cuban roots through the Broadway hit Buena Vista Social Club, leading her to be the first Latina to win a Tony Award for Best Choreography.

 "Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." In this week's deeply moving episode of the Sisters in Loss podcast, we are welcoming back a familiar voice to our community. The incredible Nekia Mba returns to share her ongoing journey as one of our "Faces of H.O.P.E." Nekia is a military spouse, a devoted mother to two living children and three angel babies, the founder of a maternal health advocacy and education nonprofit, and the owner of a strategic advisory firm for women in leadership. She is the true definition of turning pain into purpose. Since her last interview with us in June 2023, Nekia's path to growing her family has been a rollercoaster of heartbreak and miracles. She bravely opens up about experiencing an interstitial pregnancy, followed by a subsequent pregnancy that resulted in PPROM (preterm premature rupture of the membranes) at 29 weeks. Nekia walks us through the terrifying reality of an unexpected early delivery, the 50 grueling days she spent by her son's side in the NICU, and the absolute joy of watching him thrive today at 15 months old. In this episode, we discuss: Nekia's emotional updates and health journey since June 2023. Navigating the trauma of an interstitial pregnancy. Surviving PPROM, an early delivery, and a 50-day NICU stay. Balancing life as a military spouse, CEO, and mother to both living and deceased children.

Cultivating a Culture of Truthlighting offers a path for workplaces to move away from practices that gaslight women and toward ones that build a culture grounded in truth, trust, and accountability that advance fair opportunities for women. In this episode, my guest, leadership and workplace culture consultant and author Dr. Falguni Shah, shares practical ways to recognize gaslighting, validate people's reality, and use “truthlighting” behaviors to create safer, more inclusive environments where people can thrive instead of constantly second-guessing themselves.

In this episode, John and Don sit down with Maita Troje, campus pastor at our Minneapolis campus, to discuss leading through complex cultural and political circumstances. They chat about lessons learned from a challenging year for the city of Minneapolis, women in leadership in the church, and how to trust your leadership despite facing barriers and insecurities.

Jessica Ritchie, President of the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation, joins Grit & Gravitas for a conversation about leadership, healthcare philanthropy, and why “be nice” might be one of the most underrated leadership strategies. A self-proclaimed G&G super fan, Jessica has been with the Foundation since 2014, helping lead its work through growth, change, and evolving community needs. In this episode, she shares how the Foundation supports more than 100 funds across strategic priorities, including farm-to-hospital programs, indigent patient needs, street medicine, food insecurity, and workforce development. Jessica also discusses the Women's Mobile Health Vehicle Powered by Universal Media, supported by Don and Annie Young and connected to the Women for Wellness committee. The mobile vehicle brings basic primary care directly to communities, making healthcare more accessible for women and families across Central Pennsylvania.  Throughout the conversation, Jessica offers practical business vitamins for women in leadership: know your numbers, understand the needs in front of you, listen well, be kind, and do what you say you're going to do. Her advice to younger women? Don't wait to show your value. Step up to the plate. Walk in and remind yourself: this is my show. Learn more at UPMCpinnaclefoundation.org.

Whose Voice Is Driving Your Life? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself whose expectations you're actually living under? In part two of this powerful Called to Confidence mini-series, Sharon explores the deeper roots of perfectionism, performance pressure, and the hidden beliefs that shape our confidence. Many high-achieving women, leaders, and ambitious professionals aren't actually chasing excellence—they're chasing approval, safety, or validation they learned to seek long ago. This episode dives into personal development, emotional healing, mindset transformation, and leadership self-awareness as Sharon helps listeners uncover where their internal pressure may have started—and how inherited expectations may still be shaping their choices today. If you've ever felt exhausted trying to prove yourself, this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan MailShe had spent three nights preparing her counter-argument. Data, stakeholder feedback, a slide deck she wasn't even sure she would get to use. By the time she sat down for the meeting she was dreading, the knot in her stomach was already there.She was preparing to disagree with her VP. But that wasn't the real conversation.In this Monday Momentum episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton kicks off a five-part June series on the difficult conversations women leaders walk into braced for a fight. This episode shows why the conversation you name before you walk in shapes everything that happens inside it, and how reframing disagreement as alignment changes your tone, your language, and the response you get back.What You Will LearnWhy high-performing women leaders often over-prepare for disagreement, and what that costs them over time.The difference between debating to win and aligning to make a better decision.A simple opening phrase and follow-up question you can use to stay grounded, surface your perspective, and keep the conversation productive.Your Action StepIdentify one conversation this week where you've been preparing to disagree with someone. Before you walk in, ask yourself: what do I actually want to walk out of this room having accomplished?If the answer is, “I want us to make the best decision,” then this is not a disagreement. It is an alignment. Walk in with that frame, use the phrase and question from this episode, and notice what changes.AI PromptUse this prompt to prepare for your next alignment conversation. Paste it into your preferred AI assistant and answer the questions as they come.I'm a [role] in [industry]. I have an upcoming conversation with my [manager, peer, stakeholder] in which I see the situation differently from them. Help me reframe this conversation from a disagreement to an alignment.Ask me 3 questions:What decision is being discussed, and where do I see it differently?What outcome do I actually want to walk out of this conversation having accomplished?What might my counterpart be seeing that I am not?Then write:One opening phrase I can use to surface my perspective without sounding defensive.One follow-up question I can use to invite their thinking and find the real gap.Constraints:Forward-facing toneNo language that signals confrontation or asks permission to speakMust carry the same weight as “surface it” or “flag it”Must sound natural when spoken aloudAvoid softening language like “just,” “a little,” “maybe,” “I was thinking,” or “I wanted to mention”Example output:Opening phrase: “I'm tracking something different on this, and I want to surface it before we decide.”Follow-up question: “Can you walk me through how you got there?”Ready to Go Deeper?Book a complimentary Leadership Strategy Call with Kele to talk through where you are, where you want to go, and what it will take to get there.About Your HostKele Belton is a communication and leadership trainer who specializes in helping women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with KeleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

Seminary Update and Book Reviews: Women in Leadership, Political Exile, and Healing or Harm from Misused Scripture Diana shares an update on her seminary studies toward a Master of Divinity to become a hospital chaplain. She explains why she has not republished older episodes and then recommends three books: Preston Sprinkle's From Genesis to Junia, which she is midway through and says is readable yet scholarly on what the Bible says about women in leadership, highlighting many biblical women and themes of servant leadership; Sprinkle's Exiles, on Christians' identity as foreigners whose allegiance is to King Jesus rather than partisan politics; and Dr. Steven Tracy's To Heal Or Harm, focused on how misused scripture can wound abuse survivors and how to apply the Bible redemptively.  00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:33 Life Update and School 06:09 Colorado Conference Plug 07:12 Making Time to Read 08:26 Book Review Genesis to Junia 12:18 Women Leaders in Scripture 22:49 Book Review Exiles 28:04 Book Review To Heal Or Harm 34:22 Mending the Soul Mission 36:43 Wrap Up and Resources 38:57 Closing and Subscribe

Hi Friends,We all have areas where we're called to lead --at home, in the workplace, in church and in our communities. The truth is, we're all leading someone.But how we lead matters. We can lead from survival mode, out of stress, pressure and brokenness, or we can lead from a place of healing, wisdom and godly strength as we allow the Lord to guide us.Join me for an honest conversation with my pastor and friend, Dawn Alday, as we share our experiences with strong women in leadership and reflect on the ways we ourselves have carried strength, both in healthy and unhealthy ways.

In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda challenges the idea that women should be able to “have it all” at the same time without sacrifice or tension. She explores how modern expectations around career, motherhood, relationships, wellness, and success have created unsustainable pressure for women, often leading to burnout, fragmentation, and guilt. Through personal experience and research-backed insights, Andrea reframes success through the lens of alignment and seasons, encouraging women to stop measuring themselves against impossible standards and instead make intentional choices based on what matters most in the current season of life....CHAPTERS00:00 The Pressure to Have It All02:18 Why Modern Expectations Are Unsustainable05:04 The Hidden Cost of Trying to Do Everything07:49 Redefining Success Through Seasons11:08 The Power of Trade-Offs and Intentional Choices14:10 Alignment vs External Validation17:02 Building a Life That Feels Like YoursRESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Business Audit⁠⁠⁠⁠TAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications and marketing.

Send us Fan MailExecutive presence is not only about how you carry yourself or how you sound. It lives in the words you choose. Consider this: "Sorry, I just wanted to quickly jump in here. This might be a silly question, and I could be totally wrong, but I was kind of wondering if maybe we should look at the numbers again before we decide? Does that make sense?" In a few seconds, that leader undermined herself nine times. Her idea was strong. Her language was apologizing for it. If you have ever walked out of a meeting wondering why the room did not respond to a recommendation you knew was right, this episode hands you the exact words working against you, and the swaps that turn your competence back into authority.In this episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton goes deep on the verbal pillar of executive presence: the actual words coming out of your mouth. She walks through four categories of language that quietly drain authority from strong ideas, the apologies, the minimizers, the hedges, and the filler words, and gives you the specific swaps that change how the room hears you. Through the story of Diane, a composite client twice passed over for a director role until she changed her language, Kele shows what shifts in your executive presence when your competence is no longer hidden by the words around it.This is Part 3 of the four-part Executive Presence Series. It follows Episode 168 on the visual pillar (the Three Anchors of Embodied Presence) and Episode 170 on the vocal pillar (pitch, pace, volume, and pauses). Each part builds your executive presence one layer at a time, leading to Episode 174, where all three pillars come together in a real high-stakes moment.What You Will Learn:Why women learn these speech patterns early, so you can stop blaming yourself for habits that were once rewarded.The gratitude reframe that lets you stay warm without lowering your standing in the room.Why the word "just" is a verbal apology for the size of your own thought, and the one-second fix that makes any sentence stronger.How a hedge at the front of a sentence quietly instructs the room to dismiss what you are about to say, before you have even said it.The phrase Kele gives every client to replace the question "Does that make sense?", which keeps your authority intact and still invites a real conversation.Why filler words are not the villain, except in the moments that matter most, and how the pause does the same job with the opposite effect.Your Action Step:Pick one word and hunt it for one week:Choose either "just" or" sorry", whichever shows up more in your speech.When you catch it before it comes out, delete it. When you catch it after it comes out, notice it without self-criticism, and keep going.Bonus: Write your three favorite swaps on a sticky note. "Sorry" becomes "thank you". "Just" gets deleted. "Does that make sense?" becomes "What questions do you have?"Mentioned in This Episode:Continue building your executive presence with Episode 170: Vocal Presence for Women Leaders (Part 2 of 4), on pitch, pace, volume, and pauses.Start the series from the beginning with Episode 168: How to Build Executive Presence with 3 Anchors (Part 1 of 4), on the visual pillar.Book a Leadership Strategy Call (30 minutes, complimentary): https://calendly.com/kele-thetailoredapproach/leadership-strategy-callAbout Your Host:Kele Belton is a communication and leadership facilitator, coach, and consultant who helps high-performing women in middle management build the communication and leadership strategies that get them recognized, sponsored, and promoted.Connect with Kele:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

Heela Yang built Sol de Janeiro, one of the most beloved body care brands, from her dining room, but her path there looked nothing like a typical business plan. After twelve years in corporate beauty following stints at Goldman Sachs and a Harvard MBA, she left New York for Brazil for love, only to find herself pregnant, isolated, and unable to do the work that had always defined her. A single afternoon on a beach, surrounded by women of every shape in a very small bikini she'd been talked into, changed everything. In this episode, Heela shares how that moment became the emotional blueprint for Sol de Janeiro, the cult-favorite brand that launched a craze for mists and body care and built a business around embracing your body and skin as it is, no matter what size or shape.

Victoria Lai has lived several careers in one lifetime: presidential appointee at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, entrepreneur, and now business advisor and nonprofit COO. But her biggest pivot came when she nurtured her passion for making ice cream on nights and weekends while working a serious government job. In this extra sweet episode, Victoria walks us through how a $25 Craigslist ice cream maker and a promise to herself led to Ice Cream Jubilee, the award-winning DC-area business celebrated by Food & Wine, the Washington Post, and Thrillist, and what it felt like to eventually sell the business she'd spent nearly a decade building. She also opens up about her family's Chinese immigrant history and how it shaped both her flavors and her sense of purpose, and why she considers her latest pivot back to mission-driven work the most fitting chapter yet.
