    Episode 298: No One Is Chasing You: Why pursue a level of success you don't need?

    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.

    Episode 296: Why Great Directors Don't Become VPs

    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

    Episode 294: The Day You Stopped Wanting the Promotion

    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.

    Episode 290: The Conversation Beneath the Conversation

    Episode 288: The Higher You Go, The More Discomfort Becomes the Job

    Most leaders think the next level of their career requires more strategy, stronger communication, or better executive presence. Sometimes it does. But at a certain level, the bigger challenge is expanding your capacity for discomfort. Rejection. Disapproval. Uncertainty. Exposure. Standing alone. Difficult feedback. Let's talk about it.

    Episode 284: Your Job Search Results Are Trying to Tell You Something!

    One of the hardest parts of a senior-level job search is that after enough rejection, confusion starts to set in. You start questioning yourself.   Lowering your target. Wondering if maybe the market is just impossible right now.   Or you keep pushing harder with no real strategy.   But your results (or lack thereof) are data   And your data is telling you exactly where the breakdown is.   If you are tired of guessing…tired of wondering why the role still hasn't happened…   and want to know exactly what needs to change to land your Sr Director, VP, or C-Suite role once and for all.    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

    "Stella, Should I take this lateral offer now, or wait for something better?" May sound like a complicated decision but it's really quite simple what you should do.  Most professionals misdiagnose this decision entirely. This decision has little to do with patience or risk tolerance. It's about something far more simple, yet uncomfortable. In this episode, I'll show you how to make this decision quickly.

    Episode 280: The Hidden Cost of Pressing Pause on Your Career

    She was a Senior Director. Maybe a VP. Performing at a high level. Then something happened.  She walked away.  Told herself it was just a reset. At first, it felt right. Even necessary. Months later, she tried to come back… and nothing was landing the way it used to. Something had shifted. Not in her capability. In something else. In this episode, I share a hard truth most people don't talk about - the hidden cost of stepping away, and why getting back in isn't as simple as you think.

    Episode 279: You don't always have to "stay in your lane"

    I've been spending more time in the car lately, and it got me thinking…   there's a way people move through their careers that isn't obvious when you're in it.   You can feel busy, even productive, and still not really be moving the way you think you are. There are patterns, signals, and moments most people miss simply because they're focused on what's right in front of them.   Once you start to notice what's actually happening around you, the way you make decisions starts to shift. And when that happens, things begin to move differently.   Click to listen   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

    There's a pattern I see over and over with high-performing leaders. A single comment. One conversation. That's all it takes. It starts small… almost invisible. Feels completely rational.

    Episode 265: Do you actually know the job you're pursuing?

    Most people think they're stuck because the market is crowded or the timing is bad. But there's a more uncomfortable reason promotions keep slipping past otherwise strong leaders.   It has nothing to do with effort, ambition, or even qualifications. It's about a blind spot that shows up long before interviews start, and quietly disqualifies people without them realizing it.   Once you see it, you can't unsee it.   And it explains why the same roles keep going to the same types of candidates. I covered this in this 18-min episode.   P.S. If April 2026 is your target for a Sr Dir, VP, or C-Suite offer, this is the strategy session that makes it possible.

    Episode 258: Why I Rarely Recommend Books

    People are often surprised when they find out I rarely give book recommendations. It's not because I don't read or value learning. There's a deeper reason; one that might shift how you think about growth, readiness, and real progress.   Let's talk about it in today's episode.

    Episode 257: Are your best career wins (days) behind you?

    A close friend, who is highly accomplished, said to me recently, "I just don't know if I still have the same fire I used to have."   We were remembering those early-career years; the long nights, the hustle, the drive.   Now, with families, aging parents, and full lives, that same fire feels harder to find.   But maybe it's not gone.   Maybe it just needs a different kind of fuel.   I recorded an entire podcast on it. If you have found it challenging to find that next gear to achieve your next level, be it VP or C-Suite, this one's for you!   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
