Episode 282: No One Is Coming With a Better Offer
"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.

Episode 276: The Danger of Sloppy Thinking
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. And then it builds in layers; quietly, until you're making decisions that don't look anything like the leader you thought you were becoming. Click to listen.

Episode 273: Why your internal promotion to Sr Dir, VP or C-Suite will feel underwhelming
Have you ever earned the internal promotion you worked for… and felt nothing? No adrenaline. No goosebumps. Saw the announcement go out and went back to whatever you were doing prior.

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. This Masterclass is live-only, no replays.

Episode 264: Does it really take all that to land the role? (Part 2 - INTERNAL PROMOTION)
"Stella, should I have to do all this to land VP or C-Suite roles? I have never had to do this to land any other roles in my career. Also my current VP didn't have to deliver any record breaking results to land VP, so why should I?" In today's podcast, I address this concern for those interested in an internal promotion to a senior leadership role.

Episode 262: "Will AI Replace you?"
People ask me all the time: "Stella, what are your thoughts on AI?" Until now, I've stayed quiet. And it's not because I didn't have an opinion (I have lots of opinions on lots of things I choose to stay quiet on ;-) ) It's because I don't speak on topics until I've done my own thinking first. In my next message, I'm sharing my unfiltered answer about AI, leadership, and what it actually means for your career. If you care about staying relevant, promotable, and impossible to overlook in the next decade, you'll want to listen to this.

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.
