S2 Ep 9 - Redefining Leadership – Women, Connection & Impact with Stephanie Pocha
New episode of Our Work out today: Redefining Leadership – Women, Connection & Impact.
In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Pocha — CEO of Discover Saskatoon, storyteller, and passionate community leader — for a honest conversation about what leadership means for women.
We talk about leadership, relationships, pressure, and purpose — and how women can reshape leadership by choosing collaboration over competition.
Topics we explore:
· Unique experiences for women in leadership
· The missing variable - connection to ourselves, each other and nature
· The “viper theory” — how scarcity affects women’s dynamics at work
· The solution - from “me vs. you” to “us together”
· The hardening that happens in leadership — the importance of staying open
· Regenerative economics and building systems that heal
· Real partnership and sacred masculinity
· Gratitude for pressure — and letting it break us open
· Downtown revitalization and community storytelling
One of my favorite quotes from Steph:
“Pressure is a gift... I hope these pressure-filled, fractured environments enable a place for me to exist that continues to break me open.”
