Joining us is the extraordinary Analiza Wolf, CEO of Women of Color RISE, executive coach, acclaimed author of "The Myths of Success: A Women of Color's Guide to Leadership," and host of the Women of Color Rise podcast. She brings her wealth of experience to the table, sharing insights into the unique challenges women—particularly women of color—face in climbing the corporate ladder. In this candid conversation, Analiza unpacks the concept of the "concrete ceiling," navigates the nuances of networking, and champions the need for authentic relationship-building as a means to bolster job security and career progression. She bravely shares her personal trials and teaches us the transformative power of owning our mistakes and embracing vulnerability in leadership. We'll dissect the societal norms and biases that discourage women from seeking top leadership roles and highlight the value of compassion and empathy—as opposed to traditional views that prioritize dominance. Analiza offers her perspective on the double bind of humility versus ambition, helping us understand how to communicate our achievements without diminishing the collective effort of our teams. It's time to challenge the dichotomy of being both decisive and collaborative and to embrace a new paradigm of transformational leadership. On today’s show, Analiza is going to share: If you really want to change the world, women should aspire to be CEO. Be prepared to navigate the double bind (ex. Be tough AND likeable) It is possible to break through the concrete ceiling (different than the glass ceiling) for women of color – by understanding how the game is played.

Leadership Fundamentals for Success My guest today says, “In the ever-evolving landscape of entrepreneurship, starting small doesn't mean thinking small.

This episode is slightly different, in that I’m replaying an interview I did on KSM Podcast - Growing Business Online with Kristina who is the host of the show. The reason I’m sharing this is if you’ve listened to any of my previous solo episodes or read any of my articles you would have heard me speak about the importance of sharing your unique and uncopyable story and message - because when you do, no-one can copy your story, because it’s not relevant to them - they haven’t walked the journey you’ve worked, plus you may have heard me speak about Markers and Milestones, being the invisible thread that ties your story together with what you do and why you’re all to speak about what you speak about with a level of experience that positions you as an authority in your industry. As you know - I’m a Brand, Message and Podcast Strategist - helping coaches who feel like the world's best kept secret go from invisible to influential - THE choice vs just A choice when their dream client is ready to move forward. I do that by helping clients define their distinguishable, uncopyable and irresistible brand, message and podcast. You’ll hear me share my story on how I go into podcasting, how I have been able to develop my skills and knowledge over the last 15 years, as well as how and why I know can best support my clients through the accidental successes I had and now teach my clients through my programs. I share the markers and milestones along my journey and why these are so important and why I now continue to teach these in my programs. My hope by sharing this interview with you today is that if you are struggling to stand out from the crowd, if you feel like the world’s best kept secret then some of the things I share today can model for you what you want to start getting clear on when it comes to the markers and milestones in your journey that will make you unique and uncopyable for your dream client - you become THE choice vs just A choice when your dream client is ready to move forward. I hope you enjoy the show. Kristina - over to you.

Years ago, in my career coaching practice I used to look up to colleagues who had much more experience that I had. Sadly, I believed I needed to have more certifications to build my personal brand as a trusted authority, so I began to study more courses and attend more conferences. It became an obsession. But here’s what I learned after hundreds of hours training, more certifications I can count, several awards, and still not feeling good enough... I didn’t need MORE of anything. So, in today’s show I discuss what I wish I had focused on instead, which would have made all of the difference for myself and for my clients and community.
