In this livestream, I’ll be joined by executive coach and author Nora Bouchard to explore the hidden expectations that come with stepping into leadership. Drawing on her new book Hidden Metrics, Nora shares what newly promoted leaders are often not told: how leadership expectations shift, why strategic thinking matters, and how to define success in a way that aligns with your own values. We’ll also talk about why this is especially relevant for women in tech and other male-dominated environments, where being heard and leading authentically can be more complex. Expect a practical conversat…

In this live conversation, we’ll talk about what it really takes to make a bold career move, whether that means leaving corporate, starting a business, or stepping into a bigger version of your professional self. We’ll explore imposter syndrome, self-trust, visibility, and the mindset shifts that help women grow with confidence in male-dominated environments. Inspired by Liz’s transition from corporate marketing to building her own agency, this conversation will be especially relevant to women navigating mid-career change and seeking the courage to take the next leap.

Women in tech are often rewarded for being agreeable, which can also hold them back. In this live conversation, Limor Bergman Gross and Victoria Nelson will explore why so many high-performing women default to over-accommodating, why “nice” is not the same as kind, and how to negotiate, lead, and speak with authority without losing authenticity. We’ll discuss the double bind women face at work, the tension between being seen as collaborative versus authoritative, and practical ways to build executive presence, self-advocacy, and confidence under pressure. The conversation is designed f…

"Your English sucks, but I like your energy." A radio station manager said it to this week's guest, Lirone Glikman, when she walked in looking for a show.
