For most women, when we are invited to study leadership the teachers, scholars, authorities and models are primarily… men. We are indoctrinated from the time we are born that men are the leaders and that natural male characteristics are the strengths you must also possess to be a good leader. Powerful. Strong. Authoritative. Direct. Assertive. Decisive. These and so many more are attributes that are typically associated with the male model of a leader. And so, for the better part of the last one hundred years as women have made their way into the fold, in a variety of leadership roles, we have learned and studied to walk the way of a men to achieve success. Women dismiss their own knowing because we've been so indoctrinated in male leadership models. We dismiss what we know for what others tell us to be and how to be seen. There is another way to lead. To be in alignment. To not feel like an imposter. It's time for the reimagining of leadership. That's not to disparage any of the progress that has come before us. Progress is progress. For those of us who stand in the footsteps of the women who came before us we are here because of their courage, bravery and resilience. I wonder instead if women equally looked to the characteristics they learned from their mothers for leadership. I wonder if we were taught to lean on different qualities to drive success. I wonder what might happen then? The traditional qualities of mothering are communication, nurturing, listening, strength, support, grace, and yes… love. What if to be the best leader you can be as a woman, you integrated the best of both? This is how women will stand with integrity in their role as leaders. As women, we can be assertive, direct, powerful, and authoritative but we need not only rely on those attributes for success. After 25 years of watching and studying leaders, I can tell you that for sure many traditional male attributes are effective in the short run, but they typically only serve a few. Whereas, when leadership is feminine. When the leader possesses the strengths of femininity and grace the results are for all. This podcast is my like my gentle request and invitation to my fellow female leaders that we reclaim the world leadership as one that is a feminine definition. That we continue to work with all of our allies to build organizations and systems that include more support, collaboration, grace and communication. And that we do so not because we are uncomfortable with the more traditional male-dominating models, but because we truly do know that leadership is a feminine strength and attribute. And the world needs more of us leading. Now more than ever.Copyright © 2019 - 2025 Kris Plachy Economía Gestión Gestión y Liderazgo Liderazgo

  • The Courage to Stop A New Chapter in Leadership and Life

    The Courage to Stop A New Chapter in Leadership and Life
    Nov 24 2025

    What if the bravest act of leadership is knowing when it's time to pause?
    In this deeply personal episode, Kris invites listeners into the raw, honest crossroads she's currently navigating—one marked by completion, uncertainty, and a longing for deeper, more human connection. After nearly 400 episodes, thousands of hours of recording, and decades spent teaching leaders how to lead, she shares the truth many high-achieving women rarely admit out loud: sometimes the thing we've mastered is the very thing we're meant to release.

    Kris reflects on how leadership hasn't fundamentally changed—and on the bittersweet realization that she has said everything she came here to say. She talks openly about shifting away from the isolating online model that has defined the last several years and into work that brings her back into rooms, back into community, back into the presence she craves.

    She also guides listeners through a powerful reframing of accountability—not as pressure, but as profound self-care. Because when we don't follow through on the promises we make to ourselves, the weight of that avoidance becomes its own burden.

    Here's what we explore in this episode:
    • The emotional and practical reality of feeling "complete" in a long-standing body of work
    • Why accountability to yourself is one of the highest forms of self-care
    • The difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it
    • The discomfort, fear, and liberation of honoring the commitments you've ignored
    • What it means to pause with integrity, clarity, and agency

    This episode is a pause, not a goodbye—a moment of truth-telling, gratitude, and trust in what comes next.

  • Before You Hold Anyone Accountable, Start Here

    Before You Hold Anyone Accountable, Start Here
    Nov 17 2025

    We love the idea of accountability—until it gets uncomfortable. Until it requires us to tell the truth and stop making excuses for what we've been tolerating. In this powerful episode, Kris Plachy explores the deep connection between accountability, self-trust, and personal agency—and why even the most successful women can find themselves over-tolerating, over-accommodating, and avoiding difficult conversations.

    Kris challenges high-achieving women to stop externalizing the problem ("Why won't they just…") and instead reclaim responsibility for their own responses, expectations, and results. The truth? Accountability isn't about controlling others—it's about your willingness to show up, follow through, and address what needs to be addressed, even when it's uncomfortable.

    She reminds listeners that every relationship, every result, and every outcome in your life begins with your own accountability—and that reclaiming this power is the most freeing leadership practice there is.

    Here's what we explore in this episode:
    • The link between accountability, self-trust, and self-worth
    • Why high-performing women often struggle to hold others accountable
    • How to stop displacing responsibility and strengthen your personal agency
    • What to ask yourself when someone doesn't meet expectations
    • How radical accountability unlocks freedom, clarity, and growth

    This conversation is an invitation to take your power back—not by controlling others, but by mastering the only person you can truly lead: yourself.

  • Why Play Belongs in Leadership

    Why Play Belongs in Leadership
    Nov 10 2025

    In this week's episode of Leadership is Feminine®, Kris speaks straight to the hearts of high-achieving women who are carrying so much—the businesses they run, the households they manage, the people they care for, and the decisions they make every hour of the day. Kris argues that successful women don't just deserve joy. They require it.

    After years of hosting immersive client retreats, she's seen firsthand what happens when accomplished women are offered a space designed entirely for them: where they don't have to drive, plan, decide, or take care of anyone. They get to receive. And something powerful happens.

    They come back to themselves.

    These experiences aren't frivolous. They are healing. They restore the spirit of a woman who spends her life pouring into everyone else. Kris makes the case that joy is a strategic investment. And it is necessary if we want to lead sustainably.

    Here's what we explore in this episode:
    • The invisible weight successful women silently carry
    • What shifts when women are cared for instead of caretaking
    • How play creates emotional spaciousness and clarity
    • Why joyful rest is a strategic requirement—not a luxury
    • The cultural and personal permission women need to take real breaks

    This is your invitation to recapture delight—to make room for play, presence, and wonder.
