Who actually taught you how to be a leader?
Because let’s be real - this isn’t something most of us, especially as women, were ever truly shown.
And that’s exactly why so many high-achieving women struggle as they climb the ladder - from manager to director, VP to C-suite. The stakes get higher, the rooms get louder, and the pressure to perform perfectly never seems to slow down.
Ever felt like you have the expertise, but still struggle to command the room?
Like you’re doing everything right, yet your leadership just isn’t landing the way you want it to?
That’s why I partnered with Ashley Rudolph for this conversation.
Ashley is an executive coach for leaders and creatives at a crossroads - those who’ve built impressive careers on paper, but are craving something deeper: more clarity, more confidence, and more power in the rooms that matter most.
Before becoming a coach, she scaled from individual contributor to VP in just five years, leading $75M+ deals and managing 250+ person teams at some of the fastest-growing companies in tech. She knows what it takes to lead in high-stakes environments and what burns you out along the way.
Her insights have been featured in Inc., U.S. News & World Report, The New York Post, Success Magazine, Apartment Therapy, and more. She also writes The Operator’s Edge, a powerful newsletter on the unseen shifts that drive real momentum in leadership and career growth.
In this episode, we’re solving for this:
How do you rise into your next level of leadership without sacrificing yourself to get there?
Ashley is sharing her signature framework: The 3Cs of Leadership — Content, Confidence, and Context
These are the tools most high-achieving women were never taught…but absolutely need to lead effectively in high-stakes spaces.
This is for you if:
You have the expertise but doubt your presence
You’re tired of overthinking, over-preparing, and chasing perfection
You’re ready to lead with clarity, trust yourself more, and stop burning out just to “prove it”
🎧 By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with:
A clear framework to strengthen your executive presence
Practical tools to speak up, stand tall, and lead decisively
Permission to stop doing the most—and start leading from within
Because true leadership isn’t about following a path.
It’s about defining your own.
Let’s dive in.
