The lack of maturity we’ve come to tolerate in leadership today is astounding. Impulsiveness isn’t authenticity, volume isn’t strength, and tantrums definitely aren’t leadership. True leadership demands emotional maturity, and that’s exactly what we’re exploring in this episode of This Is Woman’s Work.

Our guest, Dr. Christie Smith, is an author, international speaker, and advisor with over 35 years of experience guiding Fortune 500 C-Suite leaders on strategy, culture, and leadership. She’s held executive positions at Accenture, Deloitte, and Apple and is the founder of The Humanity Studio™, a media, research, and advisory institute revolutionizing the way we work to improve the way we live. Her new book, Essential: How Distributed Teams, Generative AI, and Global Shifts are Creating a New Human Powered Leader, just hit the shelves.

Dr. Smith joins us to discuss how emotional maturity is a superpower for women in leadership. This conversation is an invitation to embrace the challenge of leadership—not just with confidence and capability but with presence, groundedness, and a willingness to grow.

Because leadership isn’t about being powerful or perfect—it’s about being human.
