What does it really mean to show up in vulnerability as a leader – and how do you know when (and how much) to share?

In this thoughtful episode of The Quiet Leadership Revolution, Lucy and Juliet explore what it means to navigate vulnerability at work and why it’s an important consideration when leading others with confidence.

They explore:

• Why being vulnerable doesn’t have to mean losing credibility
• What really builds trust in a team – and what quietly erodes it
• How your values and beliefs shape what you feel safe to share
• The one question that can help you decide whether (and how) to speak up

If you’ve ever hesitated to share how you’re really feeling as a leader – or wondered how to support others when they do – this episode offers practical insight and real talk to help you lead with clarity, courage and honesty.

Being promoted is a big step – especially when it’s within your existing organisation.

You know the culture. You’ve built relationships. But you’re also stepping into a new identity – and that can come with challenges. How do you lead with clarity when the people around you still see you as a colleague, not a leader?

In this episode of the Quiet Leadership Revolution podcast, Juliet and Lucy explore what makes internal promotions uniquely tricky – and how to navigate them with purpose, confidence and fairness.

They discuss:

• The shift from doing to leading – and why it’s not just a new desk and job title
• Why clear boundaries matter more than ever
• How to guide others to see you and your role differently
• Line-managing former peers – why it can feel awkward and how to do it fairly
• Why your support network matters – and the power of asking for help

If you’ve recently stepped up into a new leadership role – or are supporting someone who has – this episode offers practical strategies and honest insights to help you lead well and make the transition smoother for everyone.
