Building Influence WITHOUT Authority

Influence without formal authority is more than a leadership skill — it’s essential. Especially for women balancing ambitious careers and motherhood.

In this episode, Sara O’Brien reflects on leading major projects early in her career without a title, and how the same principles helped her navigate parenting. She shares how trust, empathy, and connection create real influence at work and at home.

Tune in to explore how leading with energy, not control, can shift everything.
