Executive Leadership Transitions can feel strangely unsettling. You’ve earned the senior role, but the conversations are less straightforward, decisions carry more weight and there is no obvious person to tell you whether you’re getting it right.

In this episode, Liz Boswell explores why stepping into executive leadership can knock the confidence of even the most capable women. The problem may not be your capability at all. The environment has changed dramatically and the first step is to find your bearings.

You’ll hear:
• why the communication skills that brought you here can feel less reliable at C-Suite level
• how new relationships, expectations and consequences change the leadership terrain
• why working harder rarely creates the clarity you’re looking for
• one coaching question to help you see your leadership transition differently

Leadership Communication in Action is a podcast for women who are capable, thoughtful, and quietly questioning how they’re showing up at work and in life.

I’m Liz Boswell. I work with professional women who don’t need more advice, but do need space to think clearly, especially when the pressure is on.

Each episode is a calm, mentoring-style conversation grounded in real client moments. We look at the stories people carry, the behaviours those stories create, and the small, practical shifts that change how things land day to day.

You’ll hear honest reflections, psychologically precise questions, and simple actions you can try immediately, without overhauling your life or becoming someone else.

If you’re stepping into more responsibility, more visibility, or simply feeling the weight of decisions that matter, this podcast is here to help you slow things down, think more clearly, and move forward in a way that feels grounded and real.

A quiet companion for people who want to make better moves, not louder ones.
