このコンテンツについて

 My name is Erin Smith and I created the Driven Women Project to shine a light on female role models who have not sacrificed their feminine identities in order to excel in male dominated careers. Together we aim to inspire more women to pursue the careers they want while remaining true to their core values, and ultimately closing the gender gap at the leadership level in male-dominated spaces. After I earned my masters degree in Sport Psychology, I transferred my expertise to the male dominated world of finance. Now I run a Performance Psychology Coaching practice called Driven Beyond Excellence where I focus on helping executive women successfully navigate male-dominated careers and rise into well-deserved leadership roles. However, most of my Executive Coaching clients are men. Why? Because there are still so few women in leadership roles which means there aren’t enough role models, or mentors, or simply peers at the highest levels of leadership for the up and coming women to lean on for support – and let’s face it, we should be surrounding ourselves with as much support as possible to help keep us going when those extra challenges try to keep us down. With so few female role models it can become difficult to know which direction to go to advance your career. If you’ve ever wondered how to best “fit in” or be accepted or feel supported in your male-dominated career, then get ready to be inspired and share in the inspiration generated by women who have struggled within these dynamics, persevered, who maybe even tried to change who they are to fit in, until they realized the power in embracing their true selves and as a result are now dominating in their male-centric careers, while being unapologetically female and making massive contributions to changing the landscape so that maybe one day, “male dominated” will no longer be the case. As you listen, keep in mind that these women did not find success overnight. It was a hard-won journey of self-discovery, building a strong support network, and taking bold action, one step at a time.

    11: Amy Yancey - President + CEO UConn Foundation
    2025/07/16

    In this episode we speak with President and CEO of the UConn Foundation, Amy Yancey - a powerhouse in higher education philanthropy who most recently launched the largest fundraising campaign in UConn’s history: the $1.5 billion Because of UConn initiative that just experienced a $720M raise which exceeded their initial launch goal. Congratulations to Amy, her team, and UConn!

    Amy leads all philanthropic fundraising, alumni relations, and endowment investments for the University of Connecticut—including all campuses, UConn Health, and Athletics. She also serves on President Radenka Maric’s senior leadership team.

    Before UConn, Amy held senior fundraising leadership roles at Boston College, the University of Virginia, Penn State, and the University of Tennessee, where she earned a bachelors in philosophy and a masters in plant sciences and agricultural economics. Her work has led to over $15B raised in support of scholarships, faculty, research, and more.

    But Amy's leadership story goes far beyond dollars raised. From navigating male-dominated spaces to modeling bravery for her daughter, Amy offers a masterclass in pragmatic, purposeful leadership—and what it truly takes to thrive at the top.

    This conversation is packed with real talk, strategic insight, and powerful reflection on what it means to lead with integrity, vision, and heart.

    🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • How Amy raised $15.1B (and why she measures success in impact, not ego)
    • Why she walked away from a decade-long role and how she modeled bravery for her daughter.
    • The surprising truth about mentorship vs. sponsorship
    • How to move from performance to influence in male-dominated industries
    • Practical tips on asking for more—and getting paid what you’re worth

    Make sure you listen all the way through, because Amy shares her deeply reflective and candid insights around the evolution of true inclusivity and equity in our society. If you’re feeling stuck, I promise, you’ll want to adopt her mindset on unlimited abundance

    10: Julie Ingersoll - Chief Investment Officer
    2025/06/17

    You don’t need an Ivy League degree to rise to the top. You need clarity, courage—and the right kind of leadership.

    Meet Julie, a powerhouse in private equity real estate. From investment banking analyst to Chief Investment Officer at CBRE Investment Management, she now co-leads a $34B portfolio and a team of 140 professionals.

    She was recently named 2023 North American Industry Figure of the Year by PERE. But that’s not why this episode is so special.

    I had the honor of being her Executive Leadership Coach in 2024—and what unfolded in our coaching sessions was nothing short of transformational.

    🎙 In this episode:

    • The feedback that shocked her—and became a turning point
    • Her raw perspective on gender and success
    • How Gandalf (yes, that Gandalf) changed her leadership style
    • And why authenticity isn’t a buzzword, it’s a performance strategy

    Julie’s story is proof that you don’t have to conform to succeed. You just have to own who you are—and lead like you mean it.

    👇 Listen now. You won’t forget this one.
