    15 - Managing Up Isn't Sucking Up: How to Lead Your Boss
    2026/10/13

    Link to Scott Mautz's Leading from the Middle: https://amzn.to/4yAicEr

    This episode makes the case that managing up is the skill of building a working partnership with the person above you, one based on trust, that eventually puts you in a position to influence the way they think and decide.

    I lean heavily on Chapter 4 of Scott Mautz's book Leading from the Middle (Wiley, 2021), “Leading Your Boss,” which lays out a seven-step plan, and I pull in the classic Harvard Business Review article on the topic, “Managing Your Boss” by John Gabarro and John Kotter, plus McKinsey research, Joseph Grenny's guidance on disagreeing with your boss, and practical tools for one-on-ones.

    This isn't a data-heavy episode. It's a how-to.

  • 14 - Women's Health is a Workplace Issue (and it's time we treated it like one)

    14 - Women's Health is a Workplace Issue (and it's time we treated it like one)
    2026/10/06
    Picture a woman at her third appointment for the same health issue, doing math in her head about how many more half days she can take before her manager starts to wonder what's going on. This episode is about the connection between women's health and women's careers, built around the brand-new Gallup and Pivotal report, Women's Health: Barriers to Care, Barriers to Opportunity, a July 2026 survey of 5,232 U.S. adults, including 3,845 women. From there, the episode goes life stage by life stage: pregnancy and postpartum care (including how women feel about returning to work, whether they go back too early, and what the research says that does to them), periods and reproductive conditions like endometriosis and PCOS, chronic pain and the years-long wait for a diagnosis, mental health, and menopause. For each one, I look at what the data says about how women feel about taking time away and how they say they're treated when they do.I also dig into whether having a female manager versus a male manager changes any of this, and I cover the legal basics around pregnancy and accommodations.Then, five things women can do:• Keep two sets of records: health notes for your appointments, and a running record of your wins at work so a health-related absence doesn't erase your track record.• Learn your rights before you need them, including FMLA and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.• Make specific asks (a flexible schedule, remote days, adjusted deadlines) instead of general ones.• Decide what you share, and with whom, and lean on a sponsor or ally to speak for you in rooms you're not in.• Plan around leave: hand off with documentation, tell your sponsor what you want next, and ask for a re-entry conversation.And six things employers and managers can do:• Make leave financially possible, because the number one reason women return earlier than they want to is money.• Don't wait for women to disclose. Comfort talking about it doesn't lead to disclosure, so support has to show up proactively.• Train managers, both on having these conversations and on their legal responsibilities.• Make flexibility the default instead of a favor.• Keep health out of the promotion math, and ask women what they want instead of assuming.• Check your own habits as a manager: how you respond to the request matters as much as the policy.Sources Cited in This EpisodeGallup & Pivotal.

  • 13 - Overcoming Your Inner Critic: Imposter Syndrome, Self-Doubt, and Finding Your Executive Presence

    13 - Overcoming Your Inner Critic: Imposter Syndrome, Self-Doubt, and Finding Your Executive Presence
    2026/09/29

    This episode covers 1978 research that coined the term “imposter phenomenon,” and the mixed evidence on whether this phenomenon is found in women more than men.

    Then, I'll get into a framework for recognizing which specific pattern of self-doubt shows up for you (the Perfectionist, the Expert, the Soloist, the Natural Genius, or the Superwoman), how to manage it day to day, and tactical ways to push past it (including a look at when “fake it till you make it” actually helps versus when it just adds another layer of crap on top of your exhaustion).

    Finally, I'll talk about executive presence: what it actually is, the three components that make it up, why women are held to a different standard, and concrete ways to build your executive presence.
