Who’s Marti McLeish?

Having spent time in many roles across the industry, she understands what it feels like to enjoy your work while also sensing you could be creating greater impact elsewhere.

In this episode of On Air & Off Script, host Karyl Morris sits down with keynote speaker and retired Army officer Lorrena Black for a real conversation about confidence, resilience, and the quiet doubt so many high-achieving women carry.

Through her speaking and facilitation, Lorrena helps driven leaders interrupt imposter syndrome and self-doubt, and lead with clarity and confidence. In this episode, she shares how to stop waiting to feel ready and start trusting that you’re already more prepared than you think.

Who’s Lorrena Black?

Lorrena Black is a retired Army officer, a keynote speaker, a wife, and a mother.

What she’s learned is that resilience isn’t about pushing harder or pretending you have it all together. It’s about coming back to who you are when things feel heavy or uncertain. That belief sits at the center of her work now. Through her speaking and facilitation, she helps people interrupt self doubt, use emotional intelligence in practical ways, and lead with more confidence and clarity. What matters most to her is helping people stop waiting to feel ready and start trusting themselves right where they are, because most of the time, they’re already more prepared than they realize.
