Merav Yanai spent 30 years watching companies fail their managers, and she finally did something about it.She's an HR executive who moved to operations after an acquisition, led a major merger across US and Israeli teams, then left corporate to found Leap, an AI tool that gives mid-level managers the real-time thinking partner most of them never get: private, in the flow of work, available when the actual problem shows up.In this episode, Merav and I go deep on career transitions, the psychology of leading out of your depth, and what the AI revolution is really demanding from managers right no…

Merav Yanai spent 30 years watching companies fail their managers, then built an AI to fix it. She's an HR executive who was handed an operations team after an acquisition (a team that openly wondered "what does this HR person know?"), led a major merger, and then left corporate to found Leap, an AI chief of staff for mid-level managers that works in real time, privately, in the flow of work. In this episode, we talk about the leadership moves nobody teaches you: how to walk into a room that doubts you, why saying "I don't know" is actually your most powerful tool, and wh…

There's a moment that a lot of women hit and don't have a name for. The job you've outgrown but still need. The career you built no longer fits. The voice in your head that says 'I want something different' and the louder one right after it that says 'I have no idea what.' My guest today, Sabine Hutchison, calls it the messy middle, and she thinks it's the most important place we can stand. Especially right now, when AI is rewriting jobs faster than most of us can update a résumé. We talk about how you can find a way to start, even without knowing the destination.

You've built something you're good at. You've put in the years. And now, part of you wants to do something new, but another part whispers, "If I leave, I'm starting from zero." I'll be no one.My guest this week, Or Harel, knows that feeling, and she walked through it anyway. After 13 years in the military, including a role no woman had held before her, she left at 31 to start over. Since then, she's co-founded two startups and built a career in product, marketing, and research, all from skills she almost didn't recognize as skills.This conversation is for any woman standing on the edge of a bi…

How do you change careers when you've spent years becoming good at one thing, and you're terrified your experience won't transfer? In this episode of From a Woman to a Leader, Limor Bergman Gross sits down with Or Harel, who left the military after 13 years, including a role no woman had held before, to start over at 31. Since then, she's co-founded two startups and built a career in product, marketing, and research. If you're thinking about leaving a career you're good at, wondering whether your skills actually transfer, or telling yourself it's too late to begin a new chapter, this conver…

You walk into a conference. You don't know anyone. Everyone seems to already be in clusters: laughing, exchanging cards, working the room. And you're standing at the edge of it, wondering what's wrong with you.For most of my career, that's how I felt.In this solo follow-up to my conversation with Naama Nicotra, CEO of NakedPak, I'm naming the playbook Naama was running without calling it one, and the one I had to figure out for myself before I called myself a coach.Spoiler: it's three moves. One drink. One person. One question.In this episode:The first big conference I ever went to (Java One 2…

Why do introverts think they're bad at networking? In this solo episode of From a Woman to a Leader, I dig into why "just walk up and start talking" is the wrong advice for the rest of us, and what works instead. Following my conversation this week with Naama Nicotra, CEO of NakedPak, I noticed something most listeners missed: Naama is an introvert too. The way she met her husband at a party, one drink, one person, one question, isn't an extrovert's playbook. It's the introvert's. And nobody calls it that. In this episode, I walk through: - Why I was terrified at Java One in 2001…

Naama Nicotra is back for round two. The founder and CEO of NakedPak, the first brand making microplastic-free meals with edible, hot-water-soluble packaging, sat down with me again to talk about the things we didn't get to last time. She told me about the moment she watched two men at an event bond instantly and what it revealed about why women in tech don't form those same bonds. She walked me through how she approaches a room where she knows no one, and she gave away her real pitching playbook, the one where she throws out the slide deck and asks the investor to talk first.In this episode, …

How do you pitch investors without a slide deck? In this episode of From a Woman to a Leader, I'm back with Naama Nicotra, founder and CEO of NakedPak, the first brand making microplastic-free meals with edible, hot-water-soluble packaging. We talk about: - The bonds women in tech don't build with each other (and why we should), - How to walk into a room of strangers and actually start a conversation, - The three pitch versions Naama keeps in her back pocket, - Why Naama throws out the slide deck in investor meetings, and - The single best piece of fundraising advice she's ever received…

You look at the people you admire, and you see the finished version. The company, the title, the stage, the applause. You almost never see the years of failure and rejection it took to get there. And quietly, you start measuring yourself against their outcome instead of your own journey.In this solo episode, I share my honest take on my conversation this week with founder Naama Nicotra and what it stirred up for me about success, failure, and rejection. I talk about why I told Naama she is already successful even though she does not feel it yet, what I tell my own kids when they fail a test, t…

What does success really mean? In this solo episode of From a Woman to a Leader, I share my honest take on success, failure, and rejection, sparked by my conversation this week with founder Naama Nicotra. We are trained to measure success by the outcome, the Money, the title, the company. But almost no one shows you the failure and rejection behind it. I talk about why I told Naama she is already successful, what I tell my own kids about failing a test, the rejection folder I cannot stop thinking about, and the five to ten rejections that sit behind every talk I give as a speaker.
