What if leadership didn’t feel like pressure… but like privilege?
In this episode of On the Mic WIT Shaz, I sit down with Dominique Barker, CIO and trailblazer, who made a bold mid-career transition into tech leadership—and never looked back.
Dominique opens up about her journey, showing us how courage, self-reflection, and transferable skills can completely reshape a career path. Her story is proof that you don’t have to “have it all figured out” from the start to land in a leadership role that lights you up.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
💎 How to pivot mid-career and thrive in leadership
💎 Why courage + backing yourself = Mondays that feel magical
💎 The secret to building high-performing teams without burning out
💎 How women bring game-changing perspectives into tech leadership
💎 Why “not sweating the small stuff” might just be your biggest leadership power move
If you’ve been doubting whether it’s too late, too hard, or too risky to aim for leadership—this conversation will flip that on its head.
