Andie Hill's career defies traditional paths. From searching newspaper classifieds to becoming Executive Vice President of Agent Sales at Payroc, her journey illustrates how authenticity and relationship-building create leadership success in the payments industry."Being relevant and authentic" defines modern leadership for Hill. Throughout our conversation, she dismantles the myth that leaders must present a perfect image, emphasizing instead that showing up as your genuine self - even on difficult days - creates stronger connections and more effective outcomes. This philosophy has guided her through positions at industry giants including First Data, Vantiv, and Visa before her current role at Payroc.Technology emerges as both challenge and opportunity throughout our discussion. As Hill notes, "We just feel like we started to really get a good handle on integration and ISVs, and now here comes AI." She predicts even more seamless payment experiences in the near future, such as phone-to-phone transfers happening with a simple tap rather than through apps. This perspective emphasizes how payment professionals must constantly anticipate and adapt to technological shifts.Perhaps most valuable for emerging professionals is Hill's insight on mentorship. Rather than formal programs with rigid schedules, she credits casual conversations at industry events and networking opportunities for her most transformative professional relationships. "Some of the best mentorship I've ever had were the people that I've met sitting at a registration desk," she shares, encouraging young professionals to proactively seek these connections rather than waiting for formal introductions.Have you considered a career in payments? As Hill advises, "Don't let the noise scare you." Despite its technical complexity, the industry remains accessible and rewarding for those willing to embrace learning. Take the first step - reach out to someone in the field today and start your own payments journey.

In this episode, I welcome Nancy Griffin to discuss women's financial empowerment and philanthropy. Nancy shares her journey and offers practical advice on finding trusted financial advisors, the importance of insurance, and starting financial planning early. The conversation highlights overcoming societal barriers, the emotional side of money, and how giving back builds community and self-worth. Nancy emphasizes self-care, gratitude, and humor as keys to well-being. Nancy Griffin, CFP, EPC CEO & Founder of Women, Worth & Wellness, is a connector and influencer. She attributes her success to personal courage, determination, and joy, when focusing on women's health and wellness, hence creating Women, Worth & Wellness®. Nancy
enjoys every opportunity to inspire and inform women about their personal health and wealth, net worth and self-worth, philanthropy and legacy so that women feel fabulous, generous, joyful, confident, and on top of their game every day. Nancy established Women, Worth & Wellness in 1994 as a Private Client Wealth Advisor for her female clients and their families. Nancy continues to promote and inspire Daring & Caring Leaders, encouraging them to step up and lead in the world, following in the footsteps of many other powerful Women Leaders in the past. Nancy's overall purpose is to connect and influence for positive impact every chance she gets. “My Mom was a trailblazer as a woman business owner and felt that women should have their own money and wealth, including their own ideas about what to invest in. She was my inspiration for focusing on health, along with wealth, as she would often say, “if you don't have your health, you don't have anything.” This has always been my focus as I worked with my clients, especially women, as women often have a disproportionate responsibility for the family's health and wellness. An equal focus on health and wealth is inseparable.” See more about Nancy's Journey - https://womenworthwellness.com/7000-jars-of-jam/Connect with Nancy!

Maggie O'Toole's remarkable journey from arriving in Chicago from Poland with just $300 to becoming Chief Client Officer at Dash Solutions exemplifies the power of mindset and determination in creating extraordinary outcomes. Her story serves as both inspiration and blueprint for anyone looking to make their mark in the payments industry.With disarming candor, Maggie shares the formative experiences that shaped her leadership philosophy – from bartending jobs in her early days to orchestrating client success strategies at a Fortune-recognized innovative company. She reveals how focusing on possibilities rather than limitations became her superpower, allowing her to navigate unfamiliar terrain without a support system and ultimately thrive professionally.At the heart of Maggie's leadership approach is a profound understanding that business success stems from human connection. "Businesses are people, and people want to do business with who they like and trust," she emphasizes, highlighting how Dash Solutions differentiates itself through exceptional service built on relationships. This philosophy drives her work transforming how companies handle payment operations across healthcare and other sectors traditionally slow to embrace digital innovation.Maggie offers a refreshingly nuanced perspective on modern leadership, advocating for situational approaches tailored to team members' growth journeys rather than one-size-fits-all management. She stresses the importance of psychological safety in fostering innovation, encouraging teams to "question everything" and imagine what might be possible if failure wasn't an option. For women navigating career advancement, her advice to "find your tribe" rather than just pursuing job titles resonates as both practical and profound.

Together, Sara and Anais explore why no amount of preparation is ever truly enough, the power of building networks early, and how decisiveness and empathy shape Anais's leadership style. This conversation goes beyond strategy—into joy, flow, and the small rituals that keep Anais grounded as she builds a platform to help founders leapfrog the hardest parts of entrepreneurship. Tune in for wisdom on preparing for the journey, choosing your hard, and staying clear on your why.

“If you cannot change the system, change the frigging system… Women, when we have our money, are more likely to start an impact fund business or something. So, we have really got to get out of our way and just take the risk. " Tracy Gray at The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025 Innovative financing models are urgently needed to tackle the climate crisis, but significant gaps persist. Research shows that women and people of color deliver stronger returns yet continue to be underrepresented. Meanwhile, the insurance industry must confront the mounting risks of climate disasters.   So how can our financial systems better support women-led and minority-owned businesses, fund climate resilience and provide high return of investments?  Listen to this live recording of a riveting panel at The Earth Day Women's Summit at Earthx2025, moderated by Kristina Wyatt, Chief Sustainability Officer & Deputy General Counsel, Persefoni. You'll hear from Enya He, consultant with Munich Re and insurance industry expert, on how the insurance sector is confronting escalating climate risks. Shelly Porges, Managing Partner, Beyond the Billion, who shares strategies for women to access capital and build powerful allyships. Tracy Gray, Founder & Managing Partner of The 22 Fund, who sheds light on the systemic barriers that women and people of color face in securing venture capital. Kristina Wyatt, Chief Sustainability Officer & Deputy General Counsel, Persefoni.   “One strategy that I encourage every woman to consider, is to make men your allies because they control most of the assets. Not all men will be your allies. But if you look at the men in your lives who have been supportive of you or know what you're capable of, who have seen how hard you've worked, who've seen your successes, who have seen how much you've influenced other people, all of the above, then you can make men your allies.” Shelly Porges at The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025   You'll also like: Climate Is A Security Emergency – from The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025, with a top climate scientist and geopolitical expert Food, Fashion & Ag vs. Climate Change – from The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025, with top scientists and innovators in these fields What's The Role Of Business Today In Addressing The Climate Crisis? - from The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025, with top business leaders Rewriting The Climate Conversation - - from The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025, with top communicators, including a Hollywood producer and conservative voice Shelly Porges, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Beyond the Billion Dollar Fund, on funding women entrepreneurs Kristina Wyatt, Chief Sustainability Officer & Deputy General Counsel, Persefoni, on climate disclosure rules.

Discover the evolution of leadership in the payments industry through the lens of someone who's lived it. Sheffali Welsh, Chief Operating Officer of The Clearing House, brings a unique perspective shaped by her unconventional journey from cognitive science studies to overseeing operations for America's only private payment network operator.The payments landscape demands a special kind of leadership – one that balances innovation with stability, risk-taking with prudence, and technical expertise with people-centered approaches. Sheffali articulates how leadership in financial services has transformed from the hierarchical, top-down model of decades past to today's collaborative, empowering style that connects employees to purpose and embraces flexibility. Her experiences navigating the 2008 financial crisis as chief of staff to Citigroup's global CFO provided invaluable lessons about leadership during turbulence that continue to shape her approach today.What sets great leaders apart? According to Sheffali, it's "grit" – that powerful combination of passion and perseverance particularly evident in women who've had to play the long game in their careers. She makes a compelling case for how this quality is perfectly suited to the payments industry, where innovations like real-time payments require both visionary thinking and patient execution. Her insights on the distinction between mentorship and sponsorship illuminate why women still need more advocates who will speak up for them when they're not in the room. Looking ahead, she's watching the emerging digital assets and stablecoin landscape as payments' next frontier.Listen now and discover why playing the long game through strategic lateral moves might be your best career strategy in the dynamic world of payments.

Authentic Self Advocacy: The Pivotal Conversations that Elevate Women LeadersOne conversation can reshape an entire career trajectory. But for most women in leadership, those transformative moments aren't handed to us—we have to create them ourselves. This reality highlights a crucial gap in how women navigate professional growth: while we excel at delivering results, we often struggle to advocate for the recognition and advancement we've earned.Ashley Rudolph's story challenges this pattern. Six years into her career, she experienced something revolutionary—a manager who proactively painted a vision of her potential, complete with five slides mapping her trajectory from her current role to director level and beyond. This wasn't just career advice; it was someone seeing possibilities in her that she hadn't yet imagined for herself. That single conversation shifted how Ashley approached every subsequent professional interaction.But here's the deeper truth: that experience was exceptional because it's so rare. Most of us operate in environments where we have to initiate these conversations ourselves, translate our expertise across different audiences, and fight against systemic patterns that keep us focused on performing rather than advancing. This episode explores how to bridge that gap between technical excellence and authentic self-advocacy.Key Insights from this episodeThe Vision Conversation: When Someone Sees Your Potential Before You DoHow Ashley's manager created a roadmap from her current position to director level, including salary and impact projections—and why this type of conversation is revolutionary for women who often focus on execution rather than advancement. The power of having someone paint a long-term vision that extends beyond immediate responsibilities to show what's truly possible.Breaking Out of the Peer Circle: Looking Beyond Your Current LevelWhy high-performing women often get trapped in lateral relationships instead of building connections at higher levels. The strategic shift from working hard in isolation to actively observing and learning from leaders above you, and how this change in perspective transforms your entire approach to career development.The Success Guilt Trap: When Achievements Feel Like They Should Be EnoughHow cultural messaging about being "lucky to be here" and "don't rock the boat" keeps high-achieving women from asking for more. Exploring why success guilt particularly impacts women who've broken barriers, and how this mindset actually limits both individual growth and systemic change for other women coming behind us.From Performance to Advocacy: Learning to Ask for What You WantAshley's pivotal moment realizing that working hard wasn't enough—she had to explicitly ask for advancement and compensation aligned with her contribution. The shift from assuming recognition will come naturally to understanding that advocacy is a required leadership skill, not an optional extra.Community as Mirror: How Others Reflect Our Potential Back to UsThe profound role of community in helping us see capabilities we haven't yet recognized in ourselves. How Ashley's transition from corporate to coaching was guided by former colleagues who saw her potential as a mentor before she identified it herself, and why listening to external feedback can reveal authentic strengths.Translating Expertise Across Audiences: Speaking Multiple Leadership LanguagesWhy high achievers often get trapped in technical details that don't land with every audience. The critical skill of communicating the same expertise differently depending on whether you're talking to entry-level team members or C-suite executives, and how this flexibility becomes essential for authentic influence.Beyond Work Identity: The Whole Person in LeadershipAshley's discovery that transitioning from corporate titles to independent coaching required rebuilding her sense of self beyond professional achievements. How developing interests and expertise outside work makes you a more compelling leader and provides grounding when professional identity shifts.Heart-Centered Leadership: Seeing Others in Your VisionHow authentic leadership moves beyond personal advancement to creating space for others to see themselves in organizational goals. The difference between casting a vision that serves you versus creating visions that allow team members to grow their own aspirations within the larger framework.Conclusion: The most powerful career conversations happen when we stop hiding behind our skills and start bringing our whole selves—heart, vision, and authentic voice—to the table. Advocacy isn't about demanding recognition; it's about clearly communicating how your contributions align with organizational priorities and painting a picture of mutual growth. When we model this integrated approach, we don't just advance our own careers—we create systemic change that elevates other women leaders who are watching how we navigate these crucial moments.Mini Challenge: Identify one person at a level above you whose leadership style resonates with you. Observe how they communicate across different audiences this week, then practice adapting one of your current projects to speak to both peer-level and executive-level concerns.NEXT EPISODE: Watch out for our next conversation about authentic power in leadership transitions.Ready to elevate your leadership conversations?

This week on Revenue Rehab, Brandi Starr is joined by Dr. Julie Donley, a leadership expert and workplace stress researcher with nearly 30 years of experience, who believes AI isn't easing the burden for leaders—it's fueling burnout and quietly setting revenue teams up to fail. In this episode, Dr. Donley challenges the widespread assumption that AI will reduce stress and drive productivity, arguing that it's actually amplifying demands and leaving leaders grappling with even greater emotional labor. Drawing on research and real-world insights, she reveals why ignoring the human impact of AI could undermine both team well-being and revenue growth. Are you ready to rethink how you lead in the AI era—or will you push back on Dr. Donley's bold stance?  Episode Type: Problem Solving - Industry analysts, consultants, and founders take a bold stance on critical revenue challenges, offering insights you won't hear anywhere else. These episodes explore common industry challenges and potential solutions through expert insights and varied perspectives.  Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers:  Topic #1: AI Is Increasing Burnout, Not Reducing It [04:26]  Dr. Julie Donely confronts the widespread assumption that AI lightens leaders' loads, arguing, “AI is raising expectations, accelerating demands, and leaving the emotional labor, the real human work, squarely on their shoulders.” She details how adapting to AI is layered atop existing responsibilities, especially for women leaders, causing heightened stress and faster burnout. Brandi Starr highlights areas where AI can help, but Donely maintains that managing AI's impact multiplies—not subtracts from—the human workload.  Topic #2: Lack of AI Guardrails Accelerates Workplace Risk [15:44]  Dr. Donely challenges the “just start using AI” mentality prevalent in many organizations, warning that without clear policies, boundaries, and training, leaders risk confusion, misuse, and legal exposure. “If you don't have guardrails, people could be using it for any number of things… they're gonna have problems.” The debate centers on whether orgs can realistically build effective frameworks fast enough to keep up with AI's pace, with Brandi questioning business' ability to set rules without stifling innovation.  Topic #3: The Hidden Cost of Emotional Labor in Leadership [14:09]  Dr. Donely spotlights the overlooked burden of “emotional labor” as leaders navigate AI-driven change—managing team fears, conflict, and constant adaptation. She argues this work is “just exhausting by the end of the day” and asserts that organizations consistently undervalue it, even as AI transforms technical workflows. Revenue leaders are challenged to acknowledge and plan for this persistent human toll, which will not go away with increased automation: “We dismiss emotional labor as not being important. It's huge. And it's not going away with AI.”  The Wrong Approach vs. Smarter Alternative  The Wrong Approach: “Well, I think the wrong way to integrate AI is to tell people, use AI, not give them any. They need training, they need boundaries, they need policies and procedures. When can I use AI? What can I use it for, what can I not use it for? And then train them.” – Dr. Julie Donley  Why It Fails: Simply directing employees to use AI without guidance leads to confusion, anxiety, and inconsistency. Without established guardrails, training, or a support system, teams may misuse AI tools, increase stress, and expose the company to risks, making it difficult to integrate AI productively and safely within organizational workflows.  The Smarter Alternative: Companies should establish clear guardrails, policies, and training around AI adoption. Leaders must set expectations, provide structured support, and create safe spaces for employees to ask questions and learn. By doing so, organizations empower their teams to use AI effectively and responsibly, optimizing both productivity and well-being.  The Most Damaging Myth  The Myth: “I think it's that it's going to replace us, that AI is going to do away with our jobs and it's more effective than, I mean, people have to use AI to be able to produce results. And so it's going to change how things work, but it's not going to replace humans.” – Dr. Julie Donely  Why It's Wrong: The fear that AI will eliminate the need for human workers causes anxiety, resistance, and a reluctance to engage with new technology. As Dr. Donely points out, this belief overlooks the critical human skills—like emotional labor, team dynamics, and workplace politics—that AI cannot replicate or replace. Holding on to this myth leads to missed opportunities for partnership and support between people and technology.  What Companies Should Do Instead: Leaders should focus on how AI can be leveraged as a tool to support human roles, not replace them. Encourage teams to explore how AI can assist in their specific functions and provide targeted training to empower responsible, effective use. Emphasize partnership, not replacement, to reduce stress and accelerate adoption.  The Rapid-Fire Round  Finish this sentence: sentence. If your company has an AI usage problem, the first thing you should do is _: “Identify how you want them to use it.” – Dr. Julie Donel What's one red flag that signals a company is experiencing AI related burnout—but might not realize it yet? “Well, the people are becoming irritable, productivity is going down and your morale is going down.” What should leaders do differently to ensure AI helps rather than hurts their team? “They need to check in with their team members to take a pulse as to where they are and what their needs are in relation to AI.” What's the fastest action someone can take today to make progress? “Check in with your people and make sure that they're managing things well, that they have the training that they need or the instruction or guidance that they need and the support that they need and the permission potentially that they need to be able to use AI in a way that supports the organization's goals.”  Buzzword Banishment: Dr. Julie Donely's buzzword to banish is "really, really, really" and any kind of ultra adjective that is just not necessary. She dislikes this phrase because it adds no value, is overused, and detracts from the power of communication—especially for women, who she suggests should focus on being more direct. Dr. Donely emphasizes that such unnecessary emphasis makes messages less impactful and recommends getting to the point instead.  Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjuliedonley  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJDonley  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrJulieDonley  Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0976560585/  Website: https://drjuliedonley.com/   Subscribe, listen, and rate/review Revenue Rehab Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts , Amazon Music, or iHeart Radio and find more episodes on our website RevenueRehab.live

What happens when the primary users of an industry's products aren't well-represented in its leadership? Serena Smith, Chief Client Officer at i2c, tackles this fundamental question in a fascinating exploration of women's influence in the payments ecosystem.The stark reality? Women drive 85% of consumer purchases across categories but hold only 27% of C-suite positions in financial services. This disconnect creates a leadership opportunity that Serena has embraced throughout her remarkable career journey, which began in a bank's mailroom and led to executive roles spanning global payment operations.Serena shares the pivotal risk that transformed her career trajectory - pitching a new remittance processing business directly to FIS's executive team when her position was threatened by an acquisition. This bold move not only saved her job but catapulted her career forward, embodying her philosophy that calculated risk-taking and authentic leadership are essential for success.Her battle with cancer represents another transformative chapter, reshaping how she approaches leadership: "I'm not the same person I was before cancer. I'm stronger, wiser, more alive." This experience taught her to lead with purpose, gratitude, and a heightened awareness of what truly matters.As payments become increasingly personalized, Serena emphasizes that tomorrow's successful payment solutions must adapt to consumers rather than the reverse. At i2c, she helps clients navigate this evolution through a flexible technology stack that supports global payment processing needs across 90+ countries.For aspiring women leaders, Serena's advice is clear: own your story, recognize your unique perspective as strength, develop deep business knowledge, and both seek and provide mentorship. The future of payments needs diverse voices at the table, especially from those who understand consumer needs firsthand.

Billi Jo Wright's unconventional journey from working in her uncle's sheet metal factory to executive leadership in payments spans nearly three decades and offers powerful lessons about persistence, adaptability, and betting on yourself. Without a college degree but armed with boundless curiosity, Billi Jo navigated through various roles across issuing and acquiring before finding her passion in risk management, where she's thrived by approaching old problems with fresh perspectives.Two pivotal moments shaped her career trajectory: first, when she returned to work after having four children in 18 months, eventually becoming her family's sole breadwinner; and second, when she left what seemed like a dream role at a large company to join a smaller startup where she could drive meaningful change. Both decisions required tremendous courage and self-confidence—qualities that continue to define her leadership approach.For Billi Jo, modern leadership centers on empowerment. She builds high-performing teams by deliberately seeking diverse perspectives and complementary skill sets, then creating high-trust environments where people can thrive. This collaborative approach has proven successful through multiple acquisitions, demonstrating that effective leadership isn't about command-and-control but about enabling others to succeed.Looking toward the future of payments, she's closely watching how artificial intelligence will transform both operational capabilities and fraud vectors. Her balanced perspective embraces innovation while remaining vigilant about emerging risks - exactly the thoughtful approach needed in today's rapidly evolving payment ecosystem.For those building careers in payments, especially women, Billi Jo emphasizes networking, finding mentors who exemplify the leadership style you aspire to, and securing sponsors who will actively advocate for your advancement. Her advice to "get uncomfortable" acknowledges that growth often happens outside our comfort zones. Ready to transform how you think about leadership and risk in payments? Listen now and discover strategies that can elevate your approach to both.

In this episode, we're diving into one of my favorite topics: the art of negotiation. And I couldn't have asked for a better guest than Melanie Imming—a Dutch consultant known for turning complex ideas into compelling stories and challenging the status quo with clarity, warmth, and courage.Melanie and I first met in Switzerland, where I led a negotiation workshop for Open Science Retreat. She later became a coaching client, wanting to bridge cultural gaps while negotiating with a U.S.-based business partner. What made coaching her especially meaningful for me was that Melanie is already that person in her community—the go-to negotiation mentor. She's known for helping internationals “negotiate like a Dutchie” by stripping unnecessary politeness out of letters, CVs, and emails so the message lands with clarity and confidence.We talk about Embracing "Dutchiness"—or directness—as a negotiation strength.Why and how of approaching negotiation like a dance, not a battle -- especially in the deal-making context.And how to have the moxie (or "a little bit of punk") to negotiate not just for the deal on the table, but for the bigger context—the values, relationships, and future outcomes that really matter.Featured in this episode: Learn about Melanie's consultancy here: https://www.immingimpact.eu/Learn about IM Studios here: https://www.im-studio.eu/Learn about coaching with Jamie here: https://www.jamieleecoach.com/applyText me your thoughts on this episode!Enjoy the show?

In this episode I talk to Emma Mason about how women who are senior leaders can find themselves at a crossroad in their career and what to do if this happens. Introduction Emma is a Success Coach for senior women leaders at a crossroads in their career. She helps them gain the clarity and confidence they need to decide on the next career move that's right for you so you can rewrite the narrative about what it means to be a woman with influence.  As a former public servant, Emma understand the challenges of navigating a corporate career. Over 14 years she grew my career to the senior executive ranks. She was involved in large organizational change projects, managed multiple million-dollar budgets and led large teams of people through significant transformations. But despite being qualified, capable and experienced she found herself burnt out and broken, leaving a career I loved. The truth is if she knew then what she knows now she probably would have made a different decision.  Emma couldn't find what she needed when she found herself at a career crossroad despite her best efforts. And so, she combined her professional expertise in organizational psychology with her experience as a senior executive leader to fill the gap. As a result, she has uncovered the key reasons women find themselves at this juncture and as result created a unique but powerful approach.    Resources mentioned in this episode Follow Emma: Website: HERE LinkedIn: HERE FREE: 5 questions: From Confusion To Clarity: HERE   Thank you for listening.
