How to Receive Feedback and Actually Use It
Last week we talked about how to give feedback that actually lands. This week, we’re flipping it. Are you getting the kind of feedback that helps you grow? And more importantly, are you using it? The higher you go in your career, the harder it gets to hear the truth. People assume you’ve got it figured out. They hold back. And unless you’re actively inviting feedback and knowing what to do with it, you miss critical opportunities to grow and evolve your brand as a leader. In this episode, I’m...

How to Give Feedback That Actually Lands
Giving feedback isn’t the hard part. Making sure it actually lands is where most leaders fall short. If you’re not checking how your message is received or if you're only speaking up when something goes wrong, your feedback might be doing more harm than good. In this episode, I’m walking you through what it really means to deliver feedback that builds trust, clarity, and growth. Whether you're managing a team or mentoring a peer, how you approach these conversations can be the difference betw...

What Would Happen If You Couldn’t Fail? with Karen Ansen
Getting what you want isn’t always about asking for more. Sometimes it starts with unlearning everything that told you not to. Karen Ansen didn’t follow the traditional career path. She became a lawyer in her 40s, built her own firm, and now advises boards and executives across Australia. However, the real transformation occurred when she stopped waiting for permission and began trusting her own voice. In this episode, we discuss how she built confidence from scratch, navigated self-doubt, an...

Delegation Is a Leadership Skill, Not a Task Dump
If you think delegation is just about getting things off your plate, I want to challenge that. When done well, it’s a strategy for leadership, trust, and growth. But most of us fall into the habit of doing too much, holding on too long, or checking in so much that we defeat the purpose entirely. In this episode, I’m sharing what effective delegation really looks like, and how to use it as a tool to develop your team, build trust, and free yourself up to lead. Because if you’re the one doing e...

Are Your Emotions Getting in the Way of What You Want?
You can have a solid plan. You can know exactly what you want to say. And still, in the moment, emotions take over. Your body tightens, your brain fogs, and suddenly you’re second-guessing everything. We all get hijacked like this. Even the best negotiators. But the difference is, they know how to notice it and keep moving anyway. In this episode, I’m talking about what emotional pressure really does to your decision-making, how it shows up when the stakes feel high, and what to do when your ...

Get Out of Your Head and Into the Room
Ever walk into a meeting and immediately lose your footing, even though you were completely prepared? There’s a reason for that. Too many of us focus only on what we’re going to say, not where we’re saying it or who actually holds the power. In this episode, I’m sharing the overlooked skills that separate confident communicators from everyone else. From reading the power dynamics in the room to knowing exactly when to stop talking and close, this is about making your ask count. If you’re not ...

What’s on Your To-Don’t List? with Monisha Longacre

What To Do When Feedback Feels Wrong
Not all feedback is helpful. Sometimes it's vague. Sometimes it's self-serving. And sometimes it hits a nerve even when it doesn't feel true. If you’ve ever been told something like "you're not strategic enough" and didn’t know how to respond, this episode will help you find your next step. I’m sharing how to handle feedback that feels off, how to keep it from derailing your confidence, and what it really means to manage perception as a leader. Feedback is just data.

Are You Communicating Like an Executive?
Ever walked away from a conversation with a senior leader and wondered, did they even hear me? It’s not just what you say that matters. It’s how you say it, when you say it, and whether you’ve thought about what they need from you. Executive communication isn’t about filling space or adding polish. It’s about clarity, timing, and making it easy for someone to say yes. In this episode, I’m sharing what actually works when you need your message to land, whether you’re presenting in a room, send...

Always be Ready to RAISE Your Hand with Cerys Goodall

Cerys Goodall, COO of Vetster, knows this firsthand. She went from biotech dropout to C-suite leader by saying yes before she felt ready. In this conversation, we talk about what shifts when you stop waiting and start raising your hand. Whether you’re trying to grow your influence, navigate internal polit...

What Happens When You Don’t Fill the Silence?
Ever notice how fast you jump in to fill a quiet moment? But what if silence isn’t something to avoid, it’s something to use. In this episode, I’m digging into why silence might be the most powerful thing you don’t say. Whether you’re negotiating, leading a meeting, or just having a one-on-one, those few seconds of quiet could be the difference between misunderstanding and connection.

Deal-Making in the Hallway
We tend to picture negotiations happening in boardrooms, but the real opportunities? They show up in hallways, at the end of meetings, in the quiet moments when you're not quite ready but should be. If you're not clear on what you want or how to ask for it, those moments pass. And when they do, someone else’s name gets mentioned instead of yours. In this episode, I’m talking about how clarity creates opportunity and why casual conversations often shape the biggest decisions. It’s not about ha...

You’ve got the experience. You’re delivering results. So why does asking for more still feel... off? Today I’m talking about the internal blockers that hold us back from advocating for ourselves, especially when it comes to money, promotions, or recognition. It’s not just about timing or strategy. It’s the stories we tell ourselves about being selfish, ungrateful, or difficult. I’ll walk you through a new lens for thinking about your value, and how to ask in a way that’s thoughtful, dat...
