Every executive was once an expert—until the job demanded more than mastery. In this episode, we explore the pivotal shift from doing to leading, and what it really takes to make that leap.
- How do you evolve from technical excellence to strategic influence?
- What skills matter most when stepping into executive leadership—and which ones quietly fall away?
- What leadership cliché did you once believe, only to discard with experience?
- And what did you have to unlearn to thrive in your second or third C-suite role?
This episode bridges the gap between ambition and reality, offering honest reflections for anyone preparing to lead at the next level. If you’re standing at the edge of the leap—or already midair—this one’s for you.
Hear from CEO Joy Heath Rush and Board President Jason Dirkx as they recap event successes from 2025, membership growth, new volunteer roles, and what's ahead—including Leadership Days, EVOLVE 2026 in Denver, and ILTACON 2026 in Nashville.
Join host Mary Nehring and guests Tiffany McLean and LaToya Deese-Richardson for an empowering conversation about advocating for yourself in the workplace.
In this episode, the ILTA Women Who Lead team explores why self‑advocacy matters, the barriers many women face, and practical strategies for confidently articulating your value. Through real experiences, actionable tips, and inspiring stories, listeners will gain tools to speak up, seek opportunities, and champion their own growth.

Have you ever heard the saying, "We all have the same 24 hours in a day?" The problem is, we know that's not true. Beyoncé, for example, has a whole team of people to eliminate tasks and burdens from her life, leaving more time to focus on what she wants. IG programs need to “Beyoncé-ify” their workflows, i.e., develop procedures that reduce the burden of the incoming work to create bandwidth for other projects. AI has thrust Legal’s ROT problem into the spotlight, but who has time to clear out old data when hundreds of requests come through daily? This session highlighted case studies and insights from firms that have implemented a proactive approach, including how they got leadership's go-ahead and what they learned.

Leadership often comes wrapped in glossy language—vision, impact, influence. But behind the brochure lies a messier truth. In this episode, we step into the stories executives rarely tell: the moments that looked impressive on paper but felt anything but behind the scenes.
- That “C-suite moment” that checked every box—except the one labeled fulfillment
- The disconnect between expectations and reality, and how leaders navigate the emotional fallout
- The conversations you wish you could have had, but didn’t - And the quiet recalibrations that keep you grounded when everything around you feels off-script
This episode moves past the polished narrative and into the lived experience of executive leadership. If you’ve ever felt like the role didn’t match the promise, you’re not alone—and this conversation proves it.
Practicing somatic awareness can help you manage your day, work, and life differently. In this podcast, the speakers dove into what somatic awareness is, provided practices to deepen your overall somatic awareness, and practiced several brief exercises.

Ambition can be a powerful force—but when myths and missteps fuel it, the climb to the top can feel more like a trap than a triumph. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on executive leadership and ask: What’s really behind the chase for the title?
- Why would anyone actively pursue C-Suite roles?
- What are the wrong reasons to chase the C-suite—and how can you spot them before they derail your path?
- What did we think mattered in landing the role, only to discover it didn’t?
- And when the pressure peaks, have we ever considered walking away? What made us stay?
This episode hooks aspiring leaders early with honest reflections and hard-earned wisdom. If you’ve ever wondered whether the title is worth the trade-offs, this conversation is for you.
