  • The Invisible Leaders Every Company Depends On (But Rarely Recognizes)

    The Invisible Leaders Every Company Depends On (But Rarely Recognizes)
    2025/10/10
    Most organizations don’t see their CIOs or CPOs as strategic leaders — they see implementers. But what if the real power in transformation lives with the people designing the systems that make it all possible? In this episode of Leadership Rewired, Allison Allen calls out the truth behind what she calls invisible leadership — the kind of leadership that keeps organizations moving even when no one’s watching. Drawing from her experience leading IT transformation at Lincoln Center during the pandemic, and partnering with global organizations like Twitter, Bloomberg, and Verizon Media, Allison breaks down: → Why CIOs and CPOs are the real architects of transformation → How to shift from being seen as a cost center to a strategic powerhouse → Why systems thinking, not just strategy decks, drives lasting change → How to lead change before change leads you If you’ve ever felt unseen while holding everything together, this episode is for you. Because the leaders who’ll thrive in the next five years aren’t managing transformation — they’re building the systems that make it stick. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Amazon Music — and join the conversation at leadershiprewired.com.

  • The REAL Reason Change Feels Like Chaos (and How to Lead Through It)

    The REAL Reason Change Feels Like Chaos (and How to Lead Through It)
    2025/10/14
    Change doesn’t start with clarity — it starts with chaos. In this episode of Leadership Rewired, Allison Allen dives into the second phase of the Change Curve: Disruption — the moment when what once felt safe suddenly stops working. Disruption isn’t gentle. It barges in. It shakes your systems, your certainty, and your sense of control. It doesn’t feel like growth — it feels like loss. But here’s the truth: disruption isn’t a breakdown. It’s a turning point. Through real stories from both life and business — from Netflix and Blockbuster to Peloton’s pandemic pivot — Allison explores what happens when comfort cracks and why that discomfort is the only way transformation begins. 💡 In this episode, you’ll discover: The real reason change feels chaotic (and what your brain is trying to protect you from) → Why disruption is necessary for growth — even when it feels destabilizing → How to name and normalize disruption for yourself and your team → The three leadership moves that help people reorient after the shock → Why ignoring disruption only amplifies fear and how acknowledgment restores confidence If you’re leading through change — at home, at work, or within yourself — this conversation will help you make peace with the messiness of growth and guide others through it with clarity and courage. 📘 Part of the Change Curve Series 1️⃣ Status Quo — Why “Safe” Is the Riskiest Choice 2️⃣ Disruption — The REAL Reason Change Feels Like Chaos (and How to Lead Through It) 3️⃣ Adoption — Coming Next: What Happens After the Shock 🎧 Listen now and learn how to turn uncertainty into momentum and fear into focus. #Leadership #ChangeManagement #Resilience #AuthenticLeadership #TruthTalk

  • How to Stop Fearing AI and Start Leading With Curiosity

    How to Stop Fearing AI and Start Leading With Curiosity
    2025/10/19
    AI isn’t replacing you. Fear is. In this episode of Leadership Rewired, Allison Allen gets real about why so many leaders resist technology—not because of skill gaps, but because of control, perfectionism, and fear of the unknown. This isn’t a “how-to” episode about prompts or algorithms. It’s about leadership in motion: how you meet change, how you talk to yourself when things move faster than you can plan, and how curiosity can turn fear into fuel. 🔍 In this episode: → The generational myth about AI “leaving people behind” → Why fear of losing control is the real leadership blind spot → How curiosity—not perfection—is your most powerful strategy → Simple ways to use AI tools (ChatGPT, Grammarly) to build confidence → What Allison’s 75-year-old mom taught her about courage and learning new things The single mindset shift that separates those who adapt from those who get left behind 💬 Leadership Challenge: Pick one task you do every week—emails, planning, content, scheduling—and ask AI to help. Then reflect: What did you learn about yourself in the process? Because the leaders who will thrive through change aren’t the ones who wait to feel comfortable— They’re the ones who stay curious.

  • Leading a Team? Gen Z Do This!

    Leading a Team? Gen Z Do This!
    2025/08/19
    Gen Z leaders are stepping into management faster than ever — but without support, trust is breaking, teams are stalling, and talent is walking out the door. Is it really a Gen Z issue… or a system failure? Leadership isn’t what it used to be. Gen Z now makes up nearly 20% of the workforce — and many are being promoted into management roles leading people twice their age. But here’s the catch: organizations are tossing them into high-stakes leadership with little to no support. The result? Burnout, attrition, and teams stuck in turf wars instead of teamwork. In this episode of Leadership Rewired, Allison Allen unpacks The Gen Z Manager Paradox — why early-career leaders are set up to struggle, where organizations are getting it wrong, and the practical moves both managers and companies must make to stop burning out talent and start building leadership pipelines that last. You’ll learn: ➡️ The hidden cost of “sink-or-swim” promotions. ➡️ The credibility traps new managers fall into — and how to avoid them. ➡️ Three moves every Gen Z manager can make in their first 30 days. ➡️ What HR and executives must change to actually support early leaders. If you’re a Gen Z leader trying to figure it out on the fly — or a senior leader responsible for growing the next generation — this episode is for you.

    What Happens When You Give Yourself PERMISSION to Lead Your Life
    2025/08/27
    What happens when success no longer fits the story you’ve been told? Dr. Taryn Fletcher joins Leadership Rewired to unpack bold pivots, shedding old identities, and why the power to redefine success has always been inside you. Most leaders chase titles, accolades, and the version of “success” they’ve been conditioned to believe. But what happens when those very definitions no longer serve you? In this kickoff episode of Leadership Rewired Season 2, Allison Allen sits down with Dr. Taryn Fletcher — award-winning educator, bestselling author, and founder of the Pivot Accelerator for Closet Change Makers. Together, they explore how real leaders navigate pivots, shed outdated identities, and give themselves permission to pursue alignment over approval. Dr. Taryn shares her deeply personal story of balancing joy and fear, redefining identity after seismic life changes, and why reconnecting with the truest version of yourself isn’t optional — it’s leadership. In this conversation, you’ll learn: Why success is often too small a vision — and how to expand it. The difference between “closet change makers” and leaders with true CEO energy. How permission, vulnerability, and integrity fuel bold pivots. Why legacy isn’t about bigness — but about how you show up in the everyday. 🎧 Special for Leadership Rewired listeners: Dr. Taryn is offering access to her private podcast — designed for leaders who know they’re meant for more but haven’t yet made the leap. Tap into exclusive insights, behind-the-scenes strategies, and practical tools for navigating your next pivot.

    What No One Tells You About Being a Top Performer
    2025/09/16
    Being told “you’re ready for more” feels good. But not every conversation about your potential is actually about your future. Sometimes it’s about their present. Every top performer hears it: “You’d make a great VP one day.” And let’s be honest—it feels good. It feels like recognition. But here’s the danger: when you start chasing the role they want for you instead of mastering the role you have right now, things start to slip. Your team feels it. The work suffers. And the reputation that got you noticed? It starts to fade. In this episode of Leadership Rewired with Allison Allen, we unpack: 💥 The two types of leaders who tell you “you’re ready for more.” 💥 How to tell the difference between genuine development vs. hidden agendas. 💥 Why chasing the next role too soon is the fastest way to burn out. 💥 A 3-step response to stay ambitious without losing focus on today’s job. 👉🏾 Remember: the next role isn’t promised. The one you have is. And the best way to earn the next role is to crush the current one—while building strategically toward what’s next. 🎥 Watch now and share this with a leader who’s been told “you’re ready for more.” Subscribe for more truth-talk leadership insights.

    Why Change Makers Speak Up (Even When It’s Risky)
    2025/09/19
    Silence feels safe but it costs more than you think. In a world of layoffs, shifting priorities, and rising fear, organizations don’t need more quiet compliance. They need leaders who see what’s broken and dare to say it out loud. Most leaders are trained to play it safe. Keep your head down. Don’t rock the boat. But here’s the truth: when you silence your voice, you’re not just protecting yourself—you’re putting your team and your organization at risk. In this episode of Leadership Rewired with Allison Allen, we’re talking about the fear of speaking up—and why real change makers can’t stay quiet. 💥 Why speaking up sometimes earns trust—and other times earns labels like “disruptive” 💥 How silence sends signals of disengagement that leaders do notice 💥 Strategies to use your voice with impact: framing, timing, and bringing solutions 💥 Why your voice might be the missing piece your leader and your team desperately need If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself in a meeting or wondered if it’s “worth it” to challenge the status quo, this one’s for you. 👉🏾 Share this episode with someone holding back their voice. 👉🏾 Subscribe to Leadership Rewired for more truth-talk leadership insights. Because leadership isn’t about waiting for the right time. It’s about knowing the cost of silence—and choosing to speak anyway. Hope you liked this audio. Coaching works; let’s work together.
