Executive presence might sound like a buzzword, but in this episode of the PSM Show, Damion Morris and Deirdre Booth get to the heart of what it really means. They break it down into practical, learnable elements: composure, communication, and appearance. Through honest conversation and real examples, they show how presence is not about being polished or loud—it's about showing up with consistency, clarity, and intention. They explore how poise under pressure signals confidence, why language shapes perception, and how your physical presence—including in virtual meetings—affects how others receive you. Deirdre shares insights from coaching leaders across the AEC space and offers advice for those navigating early leadership roles, especially women and introverts. This episode also touches on personal branding, emotional regulation, and the mindset shifts that help professionals move from reacting to leading. Whether you're already in a leadership seat or aiming for one, this conversation offers guidance on how to carry yourself in a way that builds trust, influence, and long-term impact.

In this raw and vulnerable conversation, Sasha shares how a deeply personal quest to heal her skin led to the creation of ILIA, a brand that went on to help define the "clean beauty" category alongside industry giants like Sephora. But behind the brand's success story lies an untold reality of burnout, identity loss, and a literal health collapse that forced her to reckon with the cost of carrying it all. From almost closing ILIA's doors to hiring a CEO and eventually selling a majority stake to the Courtin-Clarins family, Sasha walks us through the most defining and difficult moments of her journey. Whether you're bootstrapping your first venture or navigating scale, Sasha's story is a powerful reminder that success should never come at the cost of your health or your joy. Key Takeaways and Topics: How Sasha built ILIA Beauty from a garage with no outside funding for the first 7 years The personal skin struggles that led her to question conventional beauty products Why she rejected the “all natural” label and pioneered a hybrid formulation model Early setbacks, including being told labs couldn't make the products she envisioned The pivotal moment she considered shutting ILIA down—and what saved it The decision to hire a CEO and why it was the best move for the brand and her health How ILIA scaled from $5M to $100M, eventually catching the eye of the Courtin-Clarins family The physical collapse that forced Sasha to finally slow down—her kidneys started shutting down How hustle culture and perfectionism nearly cost her life, and what she's doing differently now The guilt and double standards faced by working mothers and women founders How Sasha protects her energy today: boundaries, executive coaching, and saying “no” Her advice to founders: trust your gut, delegate what drains you, and stop trying to do it all The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

The Advisory Board | Expert Franchising Advice for Franchise Leaders
The Advisory Board PodcastEpisode: Confidence, Culture & the Blushington WayGuest: Natasha Cornstein, CEO of Blushington HoldingsSponsored by: ClientTether – the smart way to grow your franchise.What do luxury beauty, Broadway, and power listening have in common? Natasha Cornstein, CEO of Blushington Holdings, joined us on this episode to share how a next-gen beauty brand is setting the gold standard—not just for glam, but for how businesses should listen, lead, and scale with soul. Beauty with a MissionNatasha might not be the founder, but she's the visionary CEO behind Blushington's bold expansion. With locations in NYC and upcoming launches in Boca Raton and Houston, Blushington isn't just serving makeup and blowouts—they're serving confidence in a glass of champagne (or sparkling water, if that's your vibe). The mantra? Confidence looks great on you.Customer Experience = Business StrategyFor Blushington, customer experience isn't fluff—it's strategy. Natasha broke down how every detail, from hair washes to tone of voice, is engineered to make guests feel heard, seen, and celebrated. And we're not just talking lipstick and lashes. We're talking about a culture of power listening—a practice that's been baked into the DNA of the brand since day one.What's “Power Listening” Anyway?It's not your average active listening. Power listening means really hearing—without interrupting, without ego, and with the intent to understand, not just respond. It's how Natasha leads her team, trains artists, and builds loyalty both in-store and across her franchise network. The results? Artists feel valued, customers feel heard, and services like wig styling (yes, wigs!) are born from team ideas that rise to the top.Diversity and Inclusion: Not Just a TaglineBlushington's commitment to inclusivity isn't performative—it's operational. From inventory to training, their team is equipped to serve all women: all skin tones, hair textures, and backgrounds. This isn't new for them—it's who they've been since 2011.Franchising with HeartTransitioning from a corporate model to franchising, Natasha is all about balance: structure meets creativity. With powerhouse partners like iFranchise and Baker McKenzie onboard, she's building a franchise culture that values the operator's insights as much as the playbook. Her franchisees? Often customers first. Loyal to the experience, now committed to scaling it.Bonus Round: Glam Meets BroadwayFun fact: Natasha's husband is co-producing a Broadway show, Take a Banana for the Road with Jeffrey Ross, opening this August. So if you find yourself in NYC, you might just catch some blush, a blowout, and a standing ovation all in one trip.Listen in to hear how beauty, business, and culture intersect—beautifully. And thank you again to ClientTether, for sponsoring today's episode and supporting smarter franchise growth through automation, lead nurturing, and CRM tools designed for brands that want to scale with impact.

Guest Bio: Storytelling is Melissa Harrison's passion. She has been a TV news anchor and reporter for over 20 years at television and radio stations around the country, including WNBC-TV in New York City, WFAA-TV, and CBS Radio in Dallas. While she is most passionate about telling other people's stories, she never imagined that she would one day find herself on “the other side” of the headline until she received a shocking phone call. Melissa was 25 years old and hosting a dinner party when a detective called to tell her that her mom had been murdered. To make matters worse, she discovered that the crime had been committed by someone she knew and loved dearly. In an instant, her world changed forever. After experiencing what it was like to have her personal life and deepest hurt portrayed in the media, she is writing a book about her story in the hopes that it will encourage anyone who is experiencing pain and loss to know that they can make it through—and that it will serve as a reminder for journalists of the great privilege and responsibility they have reporting on other people's stories of tragedy and pain. She now uses her storytelling and leadership skills to connect people and resources to organizations that empower journalists and business leaders to make a positive impact on the world. One of her greatest passions is connecting and supporting women leaders by creating community and space for them to be fully seen and known. Through women's events, executive cohorts, retreats, and conferences, she helps women in leadership experience healing and renewed purpose through the transforming power of community. Show Summary: Have you ever received a phone call that forever altered the course of your life? Melissa Harrison was beginning her career as a journalist when she got a call that her mother had been murdered. In an instant, everything changed. Melissa withdrew from her faith and poured herself into her career. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they visit this time in Melissa's life and walk through the earth-shattering news. You don't want to miss part one of this God Hears Her conversation. Notes and Quotes: “When there was suffering, horrific suffering in my story, that was when I really started to question God's goodness. Is He really omnipresent, and if so, where was He? How do I trust Him?” —Melissa Harrison “There were a lot of questions that I was very scared to ask. I didn't really know how to process an anger with God or to process my questions to God. Am I allowed to question God? Is it okay to do so?" —Melissa Harrison “You love somebody so much and you wish you could save them from themselves and the mistakes that they've made.” —Melissa Harrison Verses: Jeremiah 29:11 Romans 8:28 Links: Melissa's Website: https://www.melissaharrison.net/ Melissa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissaharrisontv/ 4Word's Website: https://4wordwomen.org/ God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191 Watch the episode on the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM Share Your Story: https://godhearsher.org/share-your-story/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191 Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Shop God Hears Her books and resources: https://go.odb.org/ghh-shop191 Elisa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/ Eryn's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/ Vivian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/ Our Daily Bread Ministries website: https://go.odb.org/odbm191
What if the hardest thing you've ever faced ended up being the biggest gift of your life?My guest on The Ambitious Introvert® this week is Krista Ryan – a Workplace Performance expert, speaker, coach, and former HR director who brings nearly two decades of leadership experience to her mission of helping individuals and organizations thrive through change. But this conversation isn't just about leadership - it's about resilience, presence, and how a stage 3 cancer diagnosis changed everything.Krista shares how surviving colorectal cancer reshaped her life, her leadership, and her priorities. We talk about what resilience really looks like (hint: it's not just powering through), why vulnerability is one of the strongest things you can practice, and how living more in the now can create greater impact than chasing future goals ever will.Whether you're leading a team, navigating a personal challenge, or simply trying to stay grounded in a fast-paced world, Krista's wisdom will leave you feeling both seen and inspired.Tune in to hear us discuss:1. Why resilience is a practiced skill, not a personality trait - and it starts with pausing before reacting.2. How vulnerability and asking for help aren't weaknesses, they're accelerators for growth and connection.3. Why the best life is the one happening right now; chasing the future often pulls us out of alignment.4. The way a single resilient person can shift the energy of an entire organization.5. How simple daily rituals like solo walks or intention-setting can restore clarity, energy, and focus.If you're ready to redefine resilience on your own terms, this one's for you.https://www.kristaryan.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/krista-ryan-pcc-b91830164/CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE:Website: https://theambitiousintrovert.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmalouparkes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkesSign up to receive my monthly Introverts Only digest, delivering all the best introvert-friendly resources straight to your inbox, minus the scroll here.PREMIUM SUPPORT: Interested in working with me 1:1?

Welcome back to Just For This. Each week, host Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch interviews women in leadership about women and leadership. Inspired by the story of Esther, we feature powerful stories of women who stand out in their fields, who have stepped up just for this moment. This week, we are joined by both Yochi Rappeport and Hallel Silverman. Yochi Rappeport is Executive Director of Women of the Wall, where she advocates for the right of Jewish women of all denominations to pray, wear prayer shawls, and read from the Torah at the Western Wall (Kotel). Women of the Wall is also a long-time grantee through the YES (Youth, Education, Special Projects) Fund, WRJ's philanthropic arm. Hallel Silverman is a leading content creator for Liberal Zionism across social media as @justhallel and a prominent figure in Israel's protest movement for democracy. In this moment when Israel is under continued threat, we stand with the people of Israel and must remember that the Jewish people are one people. We discuss the journeys that led Yochi and Hallel to Women of the Wall, the parallels between the fight for women's inclusion in religious spaces in Israel and the United States, and the importance that personal connections play in organizing.

I'm done playing the aggressive business game that left me exhausted, disconnected, and depleted. If you've ever felt like you had to wear a mask just to survive in your career or leadership journey, this episode is for you. I share my story of shedding the masculine-dominant leadership model I learned in business school, especially at places like Harvard. I open up about what it looked like to stop performing, stop overcompensating, and finally start leading with my intuition, softness, and truth. This episode is about reclaiming feminine energy in spaces where it's been suppressed, and about building a business that actually supports your well-being, not one that drains it. Here's what we explore: • Why so many women in leadership burn out and disconnect from themselves • How intuition, adaptability, emotional intelligence, and compassion are strategic assets • The true cost of ignoring human needs in the workplace, and how to heal that culture • The power of integrating your feminine essence into every decision you make We also discuss the rise of a new era of entrepreneurship, one that doesn't ask women to become someone they're not, but instead invites them to become more of who they truly are. This isn't about rejecting structure or logic. It's about creating space for the full spectrum of leadership, where softness, stillness, emotional truth, and spiritual depth are honored alongside intelligence, drive, and execution. Whether you're running a business, managing a team, or building your personal brand, this episode will challenge and inspire you to lead without losing yourself.

2B Bolder Podcast : Career Insights for the Next Generation of Women in Business & Tech
What if AI could finally solve one of the most overlooked challenges in women's health?Millions of women experience menopause, yet real support has always lagged behind, until now.In this episode of the 2B Bolder Podcast, I sit down with Susan Sly, tech founder, health advocate, and CEO of Pause AI, who is transforming how women navigate menopause through the use of artificial intelligence.Her journey is anything but traditional, from working on facial recognition algorithms in the '90s, to building a career in holistic health, to a life-threatening illness that nearly derailed everything. But that experience lit a fire—and brought her back to tech with a new mission: to build real-time, personalized solutions for the 1.1 billion women facing menopause.We talk about:The spark behind Pause AI at a Women in AI eventHow wearables and real-time data are changing the gameWhy only 2.5% of VC funding goes to women founders—and what she's doing anywayThe resilience it takes to walk away from what's working to build what's neededSusan gets real about leadership, aging, and why women should solve women's health issues.
“Most things when it comes to corporate sustainability do not happen in a vacuum. I am part of an environmental sustainability team, but we would not be able to accomplish anything without our energy teams, our network teams, and more. The ability to take what can be a complex idea and translate that into a compelling business case often comes down to dollars and cents. While it takes time, that's how we've been able to drive change.” Rosie Austin on Electric Ladies Podcast In a poll at The Earth Day Women's Summit in Dallas, Texas, 100% of respondents said that business is not doing enough to address the climate crisis. With climate change fuelling more frequent and ferocious weather events, and the current U.S. federal leadership defunding climate- and clean energy-related initiatives, businesses now have an opportunity, and a responsibility, to lead. Will they? The good news is, many of them are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint and increase their climate resilience. How? Listen to this live recording of a session at The Earth Day Women's Summit at Earthx2025 with a panel moderated by Electric Ladies Podcast's Joan Michelson. You'll hear how businesses are keeping the momentum going and stepping in where federal leadership has stepped back. The panel includes: Danielle Azoulay, Founder, The CSO Shop and former head of CSR and Sustainability at L'Oreal and at Bed, Bath & Beyond, who shares insights into what consumers care about, and how this is shaping business decisions. Helle Bank Jørgensen, CEO and Founder of Competent Boards training programs, on the importance of boards in keeping businesses focused on the long term. Jana Gerber, President, Microgrid North America at Schneider Electric, on what companies are focusing on to meet their climate goals. Rosie Austin, Principal Program Manager - Global ESG Reporting at AT&T, on why resilience doesn't occur in a vacuum. Joan Michelson, Executive Producer of The Earth Day Women's Summit and host of Electric Ladies Podcast. “If you look five years out, 10 years out, what is it that you want to look back at and say, Yes, I was part of this, or, or I did this. There's a ton of roles if you look at these 17 biggest pain points in the world (the 17 sustainable development goals). Where is it that I can make a difference? I want to educate myself in this, so I can go out and help organizations, perhaps even the organization that you are working in right now.” Helle Bank Jørgensen on Electric Ladies podcast You'll also like: Marci Jenks, Eco Material Technologies, on green cement innovations.
