Real estate agents are often the face of the industry, but they wouldn't get far without the brilliant minds working behind the scenes. These are the leaders who keep the entire operation running smoothly with their exceptional administrative and operational skills. Today, I'm joined by three incredible women who have mastered this crucial space: Sherrie Porter, Melissa Ryan, and Stephanie Wolf. They'll share their insights and expertise on what it takes to lead in the real estate industry, from the front office to the back end. Grab your cafecito and join us as we explore how a blend of operational excellence and strategic vision creates a foundation for success. Meet The Leaders Sherrie Porter, Chief Operating Officer,  Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty, sherrie@ewm.com. Melissa Ryan, Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel of Long & Foster Real Estate, MelissaRyan@hsoa.homeservices.com. Stephanie Wolf, General Manager, Pickford Escrow, swolf@pickfordescrow.com. Breaking the Mold: Three Different Journeys into Real Estate Sherry shares her 38-year journey from an entry-level role to COO, highlighting the relationship-driven nature of real estate and her experience in both residential and operational leadership. Melissa discusses her transition from real estate law to a multifaceted executive role, overseeing property management, legal, and operational functions for thousands of agents. Stephanie recounts her unique entry into escrow, emphasizing California's apprenticeship model and her path from entry-level to managing multiple branches. Defining Leadership Styles Each of the ladies describes their views on a people-centered approach: Stephanie focuses on pragmatism, advocacy, and making sure “people matter.” Sherry emphasizes servant leadership, strategic thinking, and leading by example. Melissa prioritizes a “people first” mindset, ensuring culture and operational efficiency go hand in hand. Building a Culture of Belonging and Support Melissa emphasizes the powerful impact of putting people where their passions and strengths align. Her strategy is less about implementing a single system and more about intentionally understanding what excites each team member. Stephanie underscores the importance of teamwork and an inclusive, collaborative culture across her organization. She credits much of their success to intentionally breaking down silos between departments and operational “core services” (such as escrow and sales). Sherry Porter focuses on maximizing each person's unique strengths and maintaining a mindset of continuous growth and adaptability. She uses insights from books like Marcus Buckingham's Now, Discover Your Strengths to intentionally place people in positions where they naturally excel. Supporting & Elevating Women Stephanie shares how in Southern California, that 87% of escrow branch leaders are women. Her company actively promotes and uplifts women as they grow in their careers by offering training classes, advisory committees, and brainstorming sessions.There's a culture of supporting women at all career stages, so they have opportunities to participate, learn, and advance. Sherry is intentional about seeking out and building a bench of future leaders, especially as her organization experiences changes among top leadership. She empowers women by challenging them, giving them opportunities, and offering her support—focusing on questions that get to the heart of what might help women move forward or get “unstuck.” Melissa believes women in leadership must take responsibility for building a bench of future women leaders. She directly supports women in her organization—though not through a formal mentorship program, she actively identifies talent and provides growth and learning opportunities so women can step into bigger roles. Recommended Resources & Inspiration Stephanie mentioned her admiration for Simon Sinek, quoting, "We have the luxury of looking after ourselves, but we have the honor of looking after each other," which reflects her value of team and collective success. She also follows Mel Robbins for motivation and recommended Mary Claire Haver, a Texas-based doctor who leads a revolution for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.  Melissa highlighted the book "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success," emphasizing the importance of having a growth mindset, especially in times of industry change. Sherry Porter recommended the book "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham. She also talked about "The Power of Moments" by Chip and Dan Heath. When you help another woman rise, we all shine. And that's how we make an impact. So, let's build each other up and shine brighter than the sun.

Uncover the untold power of female monarchs as Elizabeth Norton debunks myths and reveals hidden histories.Paul Bavill welcomes Elizabeth Norton, author of Women Who Ruled: 5,000 Years of Female Monarchy, to challenge the entrenched perceptions surrounding female monarchs throughout history. In partnership with the Gloucester History Festival, they dive into the complexities of queenship and the often harsh realities faced by women in power.The Struggle for Recognition:Elizabeth passionately discusses the historical bias against female rulers, highlighting how they have frequently been seen as a last resort rather than respected leaders. She argues that the treatment of reigning queens often reflects societal misogyny, with women unfairly blamed for political instability and dynastic failures.Unveiling the Rarity:While female monarchs may be rare in the patriarchal landscape of history, Elizabeth reveals that there have been numerous powerful queens across the globe. From ancient Egypt to the British Isles, she uncovers the stories of those who ruled in their own right, challenging the misconception that women in power are an anomaly.Redefining Queenship:Listeners will be introduced to the concept of 'female kings' as Elizabeth argues for a shift in terminology that better reflects the authority of these rulers. She discusses the nuances between regnant, regent, and consort roles, and why it's crucial to recognise the autonomy of women who have taken the throne.Powerful Examples:Throughout the episode, Elizabeth shares compelling stories of lesser-known queens, such as Wu Zetian of China and Charlotte of Cyprus, who faced immense challenges yet left their mark on history. Their legacies serve as a reminder of the resilience and capability of women in leadership roles.This episode is a rallying cry for recognising the strength and significance of female monarchs, encouraging listeners to reconsider their historical narratives. Join Elizabeth to unravel the complexities of queenship and celebrate the powerful women who have shaped history.Guest Information:Elizabeth Norton is speaking at the Gloucester History Festival on Friday 19th September at 10:00 am.

Anxiety and women have gone hand in hand for many years. And the prevalence has never been higher. Women and anxiety are often used in the same sentence. But most don't recognize the root of anxiety, nor the influence it has on day-to-day life, especially as mothers and women in leadership roles. What is anxiety? Anxiety is an abnormal sense of apprehension and fear that is often marked by physical signs and symptoms. When someone is anxious, they doubt that they will be able to cope with a situation or person. Doubt often leads to overreacting and emotional chaos. Overreacting disrupts stability within the family and influences the emotional state of others. Frequently, anxiety creates a vicious cycle.  Prevalence of anxiety Forty-two point five million Americans claim to suffer from anxiety. The prevalence is higher in women than in men. The statistics are staggering. Breakdown of the relationships between women and anxiety I see three types of women in my coaching practice.

The conversation touches on the challenges facing independent DSPs, how advertisers continue to chase performance-driven platforms, and why streaming continues to pull dollars away from broadcast and cable. 5 Key Highlights: Walmart and The Trade Desk's partnership, once exclusive, is now open—raising questions about Walmart's long-term retail media strategy. The Trade Desk faces pressure from big tech platforms like Amazon and Google, who offer first-party data and vertically integrated capabilities independent DSPs can't match. Google has been quietly using multimodal large language models to reduce invalid traffic, achieving a reported 40% drop in mobile ad fraud. Variety reports that primetime TV ad commitments declined again in 2025, while streaming saw nearly an 18% increase in ad spend. Advertisers are chasing targeted audiences and programmatic opportunities in streaming, while networks push premium primetime content—including live sports—onto digital platforms.

"I was reading this report and it was the same old women who are making steady progress in leadership, but we're not making it fast enough. After all these years of being a leader, of being a mentor, of being a coach, of helping other women. I was just frustrated. How can this be?" After 30 years in healthcare technology leadership and reading yet another McKinsey report showing glacial progress for women, Laurie McGraw had enough. That frustration became fuel—launching the Inspiring Women podcast over four years ago to amplify the voices and stories of accomplished women leaders. Now, after 200+ conversations with extraordinary women across healthcare, technology, and business, Laurie shares what she's learned about accelerating women's advancement into leadership. The patterns are clear: every successful woman has moments of doubt before breakthrough, no one is "done learning," and the most accomplished leaders are often the most driven to contribute more. "The moments in these conversations that I love the most—every accomplished woman when you see them speaking so impactfully and powerfully, it seems easy," Laurie reveals. "But I like to draw out those moments in time when that same person wasn't all that they are. How did they make that leap?" In Part 2 of this special Q&A episode, Laurie discusses: The McKinsey report that sparked her frustration—and action—to create Inspiring Women Why she chose podcasting as the platform to accelerate women's leadership advancement The surprising patterns discovered across 200+ conversations with accomplished women How even the most powerful women still have "next levels" they're trying to reach Why men listening to the podcast has become an unexpected catalyst for change What listeners tell her about those breakthrough "nugget" moments that change careers Her ultimate vision: more women in leadership creates a more just and equitable society "I get as many comments from men who listen to Inspiring Women as I do from women, because it helps them understand what people are dealing with and how they can be supportive," Laurie shares, highlighting how allies are crucial to systemic change. With women's funding still at a paltry 2% and progress remaining frustratingly incremental, Laurie's message is clear: "Why is having women in leadership important? When we have more women in leadership, we have a more just and equitable society. Full stop. That is why I am doing this." Four years, 200+ episodes, and countless transformed careers later, the Inspiring Women podcast continues its mission—one conversation, one story, one breakthrough moment at a time.

From Kindertransport to Tech Dame: Resilience, Philanthropy & the Woman Who Built an Empire of Trust! What does it take to survive war, rewrite the rules of leadership, and give away over $100 million with zero regret? Intro: In this rare and deeply moving episode, we sit down with the late Dame Stephanie Shirley, tech visionary, radical entrepreneur, and one of the most quietly revolutionary forces of the 20th century. You may not know her name, but you've lived in a world she helped shape. From arriving in England as a 5-year-old Jewish refugee on the Kindertransport, to founding a software company that employed only women in the 1960s, Dame Shirley didn't just break the rules, she rewrote the playbook with kindness, trust, and extraordinary resilience. . And just wait until you hear why she chose to give away £100 million of her wealth to autism research and social impact. This is not just a history lesson. It's a masterclass in legacy, purpose, and the courage to lead differently. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How being a refugee at age 5 forged her leadership DNA Why she built a software empire exclusively for women in 1962 The “iron fist in a velvet glove” management style that helped her survive a male-dominated tech world How remote work was pioneered by her company decades before Zoom Why trust in your people is the foundation of lasting innovation The shocking reason she dropped off the Times Rich List Her battle with depression—and the price of ignoring mental health as a founder The spiritual weight of surviving when others didn't How she made her life a "life worth saving" Power Quote: “The more you trust people, the more trustworthy they become.” ~ Dame Stephanie Shirley Guest Bio: Dame Stephanie Shirley was a trailblazing tech entrepreneur, refugee, and philanthropist. After escaping Nazi Europe via the Kindertransport, she went on to found one of the UK's first software companies, employing only women. She later gave away over £100 million to causes including autism research, mental health, and technology ethics. Her life was dedicated to making the world, and its systems more human.

Did you know Latin America is one of the fastest-growing tech regions in the world? But while we see the region advancing forward, it's not advancing as a whole, as women are still underrepresented in the growing industry. Across LatAm, only about 23% of technology workers are women, and when it comes to leadership, the number drops even lower.That gap doesn't just limit careers; it shapes the kind of companies that get built, and the products that reach the market. Especially when innovations are born through lived experiences, and those experiences look different depending on who's in the room.Today's guest, Odille Sanchez from Tec de Monterrey in Mexico, is working to change that. As the leader of Tech and Scientific-based Entrepreneurship Center of Excellence, she's on the ground with startups and innovation programs across the region, and has a clear view of both the barriers women face and the opportunities waiting to be unlocked.Listen in.Find out more about Odille Sanchez here.Learn more about Tec de Monterrey here.Reach out to today's host, Erick Espinosa - erick@sociable.coGet the latest on tech news - https://sociable.co/ Leave an iTunes review  - https://rb.gy/ampk26Follow us on your favourite podcast platform - https://link.chtbl.com/rN3x4ecY

Beth Lachance has built something remarkable. As the founder and CEO of Global Medical Virtual Assistants, she's scaled her company from around 200 to over 1,350 medical virtual assistants in just three years, all while helping medical practices nationwide solve their biggest challenge: administrative overwhelm.  In this episode, Beth explains how medical virtual assistants work as an "insourcing" solution rather than outsourcing, providing practices with HIPAA-compliant professionals who have medical backgrounds and bachelor's degrees. She breaks down the cost-effectiveness of the model ($525 per week per full-time VA), how it improves patient care and staff morale, and why it's suitable for practices of any size.  Beyond the business model, Beth shares raw insights about scaling a company, including her philosophy of planning for 10x growth instead of 2x to avoid constantly rebuilding infrastructure. She discusses the importance of having the right people in the right seats, embracing mistakes as learning opportunities, and not getting paralyzed by over-analysis.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS  How medical virtual assistants create "sufficient support" rather than just basic help  The mindset shift from virtual "assistants" to virtual "professionals"  Why insourcing beats outsourcing for medical practices  Planning for 10x growth instead of 2x to build scalable infrastructure  The cost breakdown: $525/week per full-time medical VA vs. traditional hiring  How proper support systems improve patient reviews and staff retention  Why Beth moved from 200 to 1,350 team members in three years  The importance of cultural fit over high performance in hiring  How administrative burden contributes to physician burnout  MEMORABLE QUOTES  "We are not brought into a medical practice to take jobs that are already in place. We're really brought in as additional support."  "Don't look at what you look like when you double. What do you look like when you 10x? So that you're not reimagining this all over again."  "Don't be afraid to make a mistake. Trial it. If you made a mistake, you just go back to the drawing board and go at it another way."  "They're virtual professionals. They have a bachelor's degree. They are smart. They take initiative. You're minimizing what their level could potentially be when you think 'virtual assistant.'"  "This is insourcing. You are bringing additional staffing into your practice, but remotely."  "If you don't handle even the minutiae, like the little problems, you'll scale them with you."  CLOSING  Whether you're running a solo practice or managing a multi-location operation, Beth's insights remind us that growth doesn't have to come at the expense of quality care or team wellbeing. Sometimes the answer isn't working harder - it's working smarter by building the right support systems from the start.  Bio:  Beth Lachance is the founder and CEO of Global Medical Virtual Assistants, a company that provides HIPAA-compliant virtual staffing solutions to medical practices nationwide. With over 22 years of leadership experience in the surgical device, pharmaceutical, and specialty pharmacy industries, Beth combines deep healthcare knowledge with entrepreneurial expertise to solve administrative overwhelm in medical practices.  A former Division I gymnast at the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences, Beth has scaled GMVA from a small team to over 1,350 skilled medical virtual assistants. Her mission is to free healthcare professionals from administrative burden so they can focus on exceptional patient care while building sustainable, thriving practices.  Beth is passionate about empowering women in leadership and driving innovation in healthcare operations.  Find Beth:  Website  LinkedIn Business  Facebook  Instagram  See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page

Despite stagnant statistics over the past five years, Roy believes that cultural shifts are paving the way for more women to assume leadership roles.

Have you been intentional about what stays in your life—and what goes? If you've been following this special Beyond the CEO mini-series on the seven transitions every founder must face, you know last week was all about play, curiosity, and exploration. Now, in Transition Six—Intentional Design—we take everything you've discovered in that playful, curious phase and start shaping it into a grounded, deliberate vision for what's next. This isn't about hustling toward another “should.” It's about building your next chapter with clarity, purpose, and your own rules. Kris shares why this stage only works if you've truly given yourself the gift of experimentation first—and how skipping that step leads to recreating the same patterns you've outgrown. She walks through her own clarity breakthroughs (including a newfound love of pickleball, hosting in-person gatherings, and refining her environment) and invites you to ask yourself: What's in? What's out? What's worth designing into the next version of your life? Here's what we explore: Why play and exploration are prerequisites for true clarity How to sculpt a new vision without dragging old expectations into it The importance of refining, not just adding Why environment, people, and commitments all deserve intentional choice How universal truths guide every stage of your evolution This episode is your invitation to stop defaulting to what's inherited, expected, or safe—and start crafting a life and business that reflects the woman you are now.

If you've ever felt like you're silencing the signs of burnout, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I'm joined by Cathryn Howland —a top-performing real estate professional, mom, and former coaching client—who shares her powerful journey from burnout to balance. On the outside, Cathryn was excelling. But behind the scenes, her days felt reactive, chaotic, and draining. Through coaching and intentional change, she made a bold decision: to stop operating on autopilot and start creating a life and business that felt aligned.

"She's led millions in growth, raised a $34M seed round, and still makes it home for family dinner."
