Why would anyone voluntarily run 50 miles a week when absolutely nothing is chasing them?   You could ask the same question about becoming a VP, SVP or C-suite executive.   It's hard. It takes years. Most people won't do it.   And you absolutely do not need to.   So why would you?   This week's podcast is about ambition, the pursuit of statistically uncommon things, and the question far too few people ask before deciding they want to reach the top.

What if the very thing you've been emphasizing in executive interviews is the reason you're being passed over?   In this episode, I challenge one of the biggest assumptions ambitious Directors and Senior Directors make as they pursue VP and executive roles.   If you've ever felt like your experience isn't "big enough" or wondered what separates the leaders who make the leap from those who don't, this conversation may change the way you think about your career; and how you talk about it.   You may be much closer than you think.   FREE TRAINING Register for The Catapult Your Career Bootcamp (http://thecatapultbootcamp.com) WORK WITH US Join the Catapult Your Career Program (http://cycprogram.com) GET IN TOUCH Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stellaodogwu/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_intelle/ Email: [email protected] Text: 949-519-4554

You don't usually abandon a meaningful goal all at once. More often, your commitment slowly fades the moment you convince yourself you don't know how to get there. In this week's podcast, we're unpacking the hidden relationship between commitment and knowhow and why closing that gap is often the difference between settling and achieving what you originally set out to do.

The executives who get promoted aren't necessarily working harder.   They're often making dozens of subtle decisions differently in meetings, presentations, stakeholder conversations, and cross-functional work.   Here are five small details that quietly shape how senior leaders perceive your leadership.    Check out our podcast on this.   FREE TRAINING Register for The Catapult Your Career Bootcamp (http://thecatapultbootcamp.com) WORK WITH US Join the Catapult Your Career Program (http://cycprogram.com) GET IN TOUCH Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stellaodogwu/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_intelle/ Email: [email protected] Text: 949-519-4554

After sports injuries, pregnancies, postpartum, weight changes, and major life transitions, I realized my wardrobe no longer reflected the executive I had become.
