Two former healthcare CEOs turned executive coaches reveal the three leadership mistakes that sabotage professional women's careers—and exactly how to break free from them. Coach Mo Faul and Coach Stacey Citrin don't pull punches in this transformative conversation about why "being yourself" isn't enough to advance your career.

Drawing from their combined 50+ years of C-suite experience, including navigating mergers, acquisitions, and private equity buyouts, Mo and Stacey expose the hidden traps that keep high-achieving women stuck: being a yes woman, tolerating victim mentality, and creating dependency relationships with bosses.

Stacey shares her insider perspective on leading a 14-year private equity acquisition that tripled company growth, revealing how she managed 40+ physician partners while maintaining authentic leadership presence. The conversation breaks down the difference between people-pleasing and strategic relationship building, showing how asking the right questions creates more authority than agreeing with everything.

This episode delivers the hard truths about why your boss isn't responsible for your career advancement—you are. Through real client stories, including a startup executive who learned to navigate inherited problems without blame, Mo and Stacey demonstrate how shifting from victim mentality to solution-focused leadership transforms not just careers, but entire lives.

For professional women ready to stop playing small and start leading with authentic power, this conversation provides the roadmap to break free from the "supposed to" programming and claim your executive presence.
