THERE ARE FEW NATURAL-BORN LEADERS
Leadership is a learned skill and learning is never-ending. “What got you here won’t get you where you want to go,” is an uncomfortable truth Fast Rising High Achievers run into at every level of their career. In fact, what got you here won’t even help you do your new job effectively.
Every step up the ladder requires a new level of leadership and “people skills.” Because “people” are now your job.
This podcast is here to help you master skills on four fronts on your way to the senior leadership team.
LEADING UP – You are now a trusted advisor. That means you are a sounding board, speak truth to power, and help your CEO get their job done, all while getting your job done.
LEADING ACROSS – You are peers are the power players in the organization. This is the team you are on. Your job is to lead from within that team while being a part of it. You are now a student of the Art of Co-opetition.
LEADING YOUR TEAM – You’ve spent a career honing your leadership skills and now have an even less direct impact on how things get done. Your success will only come from your team’s success.
LEADING YOURSELF – Relentless pressure, ambition, burnout, sleepless nights, and resentments, are the price you may be paying for your lofty position. Mastering your emotions, perspective, health, and relationships are essential to make this fun and sustainable.
The conversations, resources, and subject matter experts we will have is designed to help you “level up” in all four of these focus areas. Each week we will tackle a topic that will move you forward in your relationships with your boss, your peers, your team, and yourself. You'll be armed with tools and insights you will use throughout your career and in your personal life.

Why Courage is More Important Than Confidence for Rising Leaders
Most of us look at confident people and assume they have something we don’t: a mysterious inner certainty that lets them walk into any room, take the stage, or tackle a new challenge without missing a beat. In reality, confidence and courage aren’t feelings you wait to have—they’re qualities you build by showing up scared and doing the hard thing anyway. In this episode, I share my personal journey from self-doubt and fear, through years spent faking it until it became real, and how true courage means stepping up even when your insides are shaking."Every single thing I’ve ever done in my life is because of the courage to do something scared." ~Mark SilvermanToday on The Rising Leader:· Courage is not about the absence of fear but about taking action despite it.· Confidence grows through repeated experience, not through waiting to feel ready.· Preparation is the foundation—true confidence is earned through putting in the work and practicing beforehand.· Failure is inevitable; what matters is surviving it, which builds resilience and a stronger sense of self-confidence.· Success isn’t about never being scared—it’s about consistently showing up, even when you want to pull the covers over your head.· Many highly accomplished people still feel fear inside; outward signs of confidence can be built through courage and consistent effort.· The willingness to “do it anyway” is more important than feeling brave or believing you’re exceptional.· Reflecting on your track record—surviving challenges and bouncing back—can bolster your faith in your ability to handle future fear.
