When we think about leadership in tech, the conversation often circles around burnout, sacrifice, and challenges. But what if we flipped that script?

In this episode of On The Mic..WIT Shaz, I sit down with the incredible Lise Corcoran — Strategic Client Director with 20+ years in global tech leadership — to uncover the surprising, joyful, and empowering upsides of leading in tech.

From bringing her toddler to a global leadership summit in London, to discovering that integrity is the non-negotiable glue for successful teams, Lise shares a candid look at how leadership can actually create more freedom, growth, and fulfillment than you might expect.

We also talk about the mindset shifts women need to embrace when stepping into leadership — so instead of seeing leadership as intimidating or “not for me,” you can start to see it as one of the most rewarding adventures of your career.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why leadership isn’t a scary mountain — it’s an evolution.
• The freedoms leadership unlocks (yes, you can have the croissant and the career!).
• The role of integrity when building global dream teams.
• How challenges often sneakily become your best growth stories.
• The surprising fun (yes, FUN) that comes with leading in tech.
