THERE ARE FEW NATURAL-BORN LEADERS Leadership is a learned skill and learning is never-ending. “What got you here won’t get you where you want to go,” is an uncomfortable truth Fast Rising High Achievers run into at every level of their career. In fact, what got you here won’t even help you do your new job effectively. Every step up the ladder requires a new level of leadership and “people skills.” Because “people” are now your job. This podcast is here to help you master skills on four fronts on your way to the senior leadership team. LEADING UP – You are now a trusted advisor. That means you are a sounding board, speak truth to power, and help your CEO get their job done, all while getting your job done. LEADING ACROSS – You are peers are the power players in the organization. This is the team you are on. Your job is to lead from within that team while being a part of it. You are now a student of the Art of Co-opetition. LEADING YOUR TEAM – You’ve spent a career honing your leadership skills and now have an even less direct impact on how things get done. Your success will only come from your team’s success. LEADING YOURSELF – Relentless pressure, ambition, burnout, sleepless nights, and resentments, are the price you may be paying for your lofty position. Mastering your emotions, perspective, health, and relationships are essential to make this fun and sustainable. The conversations, resources, and subject matter experts we will have is designed to help you “level up” in all four of these focus areas. Each week we will tackle a topic that will move you forward in your relationships with your boss, your peers, your team, and yourself. You'll be armed with tools and insights you will use throughout your career and in your personal life.Copyright 2025 The Rising Leader Economía Exito Profesional Gestión Gestión y Liderazgo

  • Why Courage is More Important Than Confidence for Rising Leaders

    Why Courage is More Important Than Confidence for Rising Leaders
    Sep 3 2025

    Most of us look at confident people and assume they have something we don’t: a mysterious inner certainty that lets them walk into any room, take the stage, or tackle a new challenge without missing a beat. In reality, confidence and courage aren’t feelings you wait to have—they’re qualities you build by showing up scared and doing the hard thing anyway. In this episode, I share my personal journey from self-doubt and fear, through years spent faking it until it became real, and how true courage means stepping up even when your insides are shaking.

    "Every single thing I’ve ever done in my life is because of the courage to do something scared."

    ~Mark Silverman

    Today on The Rising Leader:

    · Courage is not about the absence of fear but about taking action despite it.

    · Confidence grows through repeated experience, not through waiting to feel ready.

    · Preparation is the foundation—true confidence is earned through putting in the work and practicing beforehand.

    · Failure is inevitable; what matters is surviving it, which builds resilience and a stronger sense of self-confidence.

    · Success isn’t about never being scared—it’s about consistently showing up, even when you want to pull the covers over your head.

    · Many highly accomplished people still feel fear inside; outward signs of confidence can be built through courage and consistent effort.

    · The willingness to “do it anyway” is more important than feeling brave or believing you’re exceptional.

    · Reflecting on your track record—surviving challenges and bouncing back—can bolster your faith in your ability to handle future fear.

  • How the Four Faces of Frustration Shape Your Leadership with Andrew Oxley

    How the Four Faces of Frustration Shape Your Leadership with Andrew Oxley
    Aug 27 2025
    When it comes to leading others, frustration is often an unavoidable part of the journey—but it doesn’t have to be a roadblock. In this episode, I dive deep into the humanity of leadership with Andrew Oxley, exploring how frustration shows up in our lives and organizations, and how understanding different communication styles can turn frustration into collaboration, delight, and results. We discuss the four faces of frustration, recognizing your reactions under stress, and explore practical ways to transition from “hero” or “villain” leadership to the truly impactful role of guide. Andrew Oxley is a nationally recognized author, executive coach, and the founder of the Oxley Group. His consulting work has impacted tens of thousands of leaders at companies like Coca-Cola, Progressive Insurance, Turner Broadcasting, the Weather Channel, and many more. Andrew’s mission is to help leaders and organizations cut through the noise, return to simplicity, and truly accelerate performance. His allegorical book, “The Four Faces of Frustration: How to Turn Frustration into Delight,” has served as a blueprint for understanding and mastering the complexities of leadership and interpersonal communication. “It is easiest to understand someone's communication style when you observe them when they're frustrated, because it's like their real selves come out.” ~Andrew Oxley Today On The Rising Leader:· The four faces of frustration: Red (passionate/driver), Yellow (optimist/networker), Blue (analytical/pessimist), and Green (steady/quiet), each handle challenge and stress in unique ways.· Recognition and understanding of these communication styles is the first step to diffusing conflict and building stronger teams.· No one is just one color; we all have a range, but stress often pushes us into default patterns that may not serve us or others well.· As leaders, developing self-awareness (often through asking for feedback from others) is critical—how we think we show up is not always how others experience us.· It’s easy to fall into the roles of “hero” (overhelping) or “villain” (overcorrecting) as a leader, but the true goal is to become a “guide” who fosters autonomy and ownership in others.· Healthy teams benefit from a mix of these personality types; friction, managed well, creates progress.· Strengths become weaknesses if not managed—what got you here may not get you where you want to go.· Shifting limiting beliefs and assumptions is vital for leadership growth—it’s not just about behavior, but the beliefs that drive it.

  • How to Accept Feedback with Grace and Turn It Into Growth

    How to Accept Feedback with Grace and Turn It Into Growth
    Aug 20 2025

    When someone asks, “Would you like a little feedback?”, do you cringe inside, even as you force a smile and nod eagerly? If so, you’re not alone. Today I’m diving deep into the uncomfortable yet transformative experience of receiving feedback, and why, despite its sting, it’s the single most valuable tool for growth. I get personal about my own struggles with taking feedback (even as a coach!), map out the emotional journey most of us go through, and share how to process criticism in a way that actually moves us forward.

    “Getting feedback is not easy. And again, I admit it, I don’t like it. But it’s invaluable and will change your life.” ~Mark

    Today on The Rising Leader:

    · You’re not alone in dreading feedback—even those dedicated to growth can find it deeply uncomfortable.

    · It’s normal for feedback to trigger discomfort physically and emotionally; breathe through it rather than avoid it.

    · Saying “thank you” is a powerful way to receive feedback, creating space for clarity and reflection.

    · Active listening and asking for examples or clarification makes feedback actionable, not just emotional.

    · Not all feedback is equally relevant; seek trusted allies to help discern what to take on and what to set aside.

    · If someone takes the time to give you feedback (and they’re not just critical by nature), it’s a powerful sign they value your growth and contribution.

    · Focus your efforts—pick one new behavior or habit to address at a time for real, lasting growth.

    · Sharing feedback with someone who knows your worth can help you separate projection from genuine opportunities for improvement.
