The Inner Edge: Leadership, Self-Mastery, and Reinvention for a New Era
Join Janet Ioli, executive coach and leadership expert, as she explores what it means to lead and live with authentic integration in our rapidly changing world.
In each episode, Janet—a trusted advisor to global executives and former Fortune 200 leader—guides you through the real challenges we don't talk about enough: reinventing yourself at midlife, navigating life transitions, leading with intuition in an AI-driven world, and integrating your spiritual and professional selves. This isn't your typical leadership podcast filled with quick tips and surface-level advice.
The Inner Edge is for leaders who are tired of compartmentalizing who they are and ready for deeper, more meaningful conversations. Whether you're facing an empty nest, caring for aging parents, questioning your purpose at 50, or simply craving more authentic connection in your leadership, this podcast meets you where the personal and professional intersect.
Janet brings her intuitive approach and decades of experience to conversations with guests who have reinvented themselves, thought leaders exploring the intersection of spirituality and business, and experts navigating our new era of constant change. Together, we explore what it means to stop following and start creating a future that aligns with your soul.
If you're ready to move beyond conventional wisdom and dive into the inner work that creates lasting transformation, welcome to The Inner Edge. This is where leadership meets life, and where your authentic self becomes your greatest asset.

E83: Be Convincing! Get Better at Influencing Others with Adele Gambardella & Chip Massey
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
“The research shows that many of us do not develop new convincing techniques past the age of six. So, wherever your set point is in kindergarten or first grade, that's pretty much what you're going to do from a convincing strategy as an adult because most of us are too scared to try something new. We're only going to do what worked in the past.” - Adele Gambardella
