Intentional Life Design and Fractional Leadership with Rebekah Rombom

Rebekah Rombom shares how she transitioned from a nearly decade-long role at Flatiron School to building a fractional executive practice—not by design, but by staying busy with consulting until she realized she didn't need a traditional job. Rebekah emphasizes two powerful principles: clearly articulating what you actually want (so people can help you get there), and consistently doing what you say you'll do (which remains surprisingly rare). For anyone considering fractional work, she offers practical insights on being self-directed by showing up ready to onboard yourself and delivering impact without hand-holding. Key takeaway: You can design your life, most barriers are self-imposed, and authentic clarity about your priorities opens more doors than you'd expect.
