Episode Summary
If you have been waiting for your company to invest in you, this is your reminder that your development is your responsibility and your biggest competitive advantage.
In this encore episode, I revisit a listener favorite that explores why relying on corporate training often slows your growth, and how taking ownership of your development is the fastest way to become VP ready. I share what high performing women do differently to move into senior leadership and why choosing to invest in yourself often unlocks the visibility, confidence, and momentum you need to advance.
What You'll Learn
- Why an MBA or formal program might not be the path you actually need
- The difference between what companies typically offer and what truly moves your career forward
- How learning inside a community can accelerate your leadership growth
- The mindset shifts that help you show up as a strategic, influential leader long before you have the title
