  • Resumen

  • 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.

  • Are your Escalations Dirty?

    Are your Escalations Dirty?
    Apr 30 2025
    Have you ever found yourself butting heads with a peer at work, knowing you need to escalate the disagreement up the ladder, but unsure how to do it without leaving a trail of drama or broken trust? This week, I’m joined again by my close friend and leadership expert Helen Appleby for a candid conversation on “clean” and “dirty” escalations. We unpack what it means to disagree well, the cost of toxic escalation, and how true leaders keep the organization’s health front and center, no matter how high the stakes. Helen Appleby is an executive coach with over a decade of experience helping leaders and teams thrive. Formerly a global VP, she is the author of the widely acclaimed book The Unwritten Rules of Women’s Leadership and is currently working on her next book, Leaders Health Check: How to Build Healthy High-Performing Teams. Her approach blends clarity, candor, and real-world practicality, making her a go-to guide for building trust and navigating workplace conflict. “Disagreements are normal, they’re natural. The trick is to disagree without breaking rapport.” ~ Helen ApplebyToday on The Rising Leader:· Clean escalation is about jointly deciding to raise an issue after real listening and honest curiosity about each other’s perspectives. · Dirty escalation—going behind someone’s back to complain to a boss or board—erodes trust, fuels toxicity, and wastes organizational energy. · Taking a step back and asking, “Whose team am I on?” reminds leaders to prioritize the success of the whole organization, not just their function. · Great leaders avoid triangulation and refuse to play parent when their direct reports run to them with complaints about each other. · Establishing shared language around trust, feedback, and conflict (like “grit in the pipes”) is critical to building psychological safety and team health. · Disagreement is inevitable, but learning to handle it maturely, without breaking relationships, sets high-performing teams apart. · Leaders must explicitly teach and model the expectation of clean escalation and collective accountability. · Self-awareness and feedback—for individuals and the whole team—are central to ongoing leadership and team development.Guest Contact Information: Connect with Helen Appleby on LinkedIn or visit HelenApplebyCoaching.com.Resources Mentioned:· Book: The Unwritten Rules of Women’s Leadership by Helen Appleby Grab Your Copy of The Rising Leader Handbook Do you find yourself rising through your company's ranks so fast that you wish you had a manual to become an effective leader?

  • What if You're Not at Your Best?

    What if You're Not at Your Best?
    Apr 23 2025

    What if you're not at your best? We've all experienced those days where everything feels like an uphill battle, when no matter the effort, things don’t seem to fall into place. In this episode, I explore the challenges and essential strategies for handling those tough days with grace and introspection. Through personal stories, like my memorable encounter with a rushed and hungry surgeon, I reflect on the importance of self-care and understanding when it's crucial to pause, reassess, and adjust our approach to leadership when our capacity is compromised.

    My journey as an educator and mentor has taught me the value of emotional intelligence in navigating pressure. Being a leader often means maintaining composure, even when chaos might reign internally. I share how crucial it is to embrace those off days not as setbacks but as opportunities to recalibrate, ask for help, and be honest about our limitations with ourselves and our teams. Through my stories and insights, I aim to provide a roadmap for showing up effectively, even when we're not at our best.

    “If we can get grounded and centered and question, ‘what's needed in this situation?’”

    Today on The Rising Leader:

    · Acknowledging when you’re not at your best and taking appropriate action is crucial.

    · The paradox of pushing through versus knowing when to pause for personal care and reflection.

    · The positive outcomes that stem from ensuring your emotional and physical readiness before tackling high-pressure responsibilities.

    · Open communication can prevent misunderstandings when you're not performing at your peak.

    · Seeking support and creating new agreements can alleviate pressure and improve outcomes.

    · The value of using transparency to empower your team with context about your current state.

    · Determining when a commitment requires your full capacity and when adjustments are necessary.

    · Being truthful about your condition fosters understanding and minimizes potential negative impacts.
