Episode 110: Why a 5-Year Career Plan Is Now a Liability And What Smart Female Leaders Are Doing Instead

Allera Dawn

New series for 2026!

LinkedIn’s CEO recently stated that having a five-year career plan is now outdated even foolish given how quickly AI is reshaping the workplace. 

For female leaders and corporate high achievers, this isn’t theory.
It’s already unfolding. 

In this episode, I speak to women in senior roles who can sense the shift coming and want to move from dependency on a single career path to choice, leverage, and control

We explore why building a business while still employed is no longer risky but strategic and how your existing experience, CV, and institutional credibility already position you for premium B2B opportunities

You’ll learn: 

  • Why AI is accelerating disruption even at senior levels
  • How to translate high-level corporate expertise into premium service-based offers
  • Why starting with premium positioning from day one matters
  • How to learn and earn simultaneously without pressure to replace your salary
  • The mindset and identity shifts required to move from employee to entrepreneur
  • How to build calmly, strategically, and proactively before something forces change

I also share my own journey building my business while still working on the sales and trading floor at Bank of America and why timing, strategy, and support made the difference.
 
This episode is for women who refuse to wait for disruption to decide for them — and instead choose to build freedom early.
