Are You Talking Yourself Out of Leadership? with Gaby Rossi

  1. Are You Talking Yourself Out of Leadership? with Gaby Rossi Rosie Zilinskas 45:08

Have you ever told yourself a story about what you’re not cut out for? Gaby Rossi did. At 22, she decided leadership wasn’t for her, and she repeated it so often that when a leadership role opened on her own team, nobody even told her. They hired someone else. Her boss’s explanation stopped her cold: ” You said you didn’t want it.”

In this episode of No Woman Left Behind, Gaby, a supply chain leader at Avery Dennison, shares how she rewrote that story. She talks about the TED Talk that cracked her narrative open, the day she walked into her leaders’ offices and said “I’m changing my mind,” and the painfully honest 360 feedback (a 2.3 out of 5) that a mentor taught her to read as a blueprint to success instead of a verdict.

You’ll hear:

  • How the story you repeat about yourself can quietly close doors
  • Why harsh feedback might be the clearest roadmap you’ll ever get
  • What changes when you stop attaching your worth to the tasks you do (Gaby calls it “letting go of the clicks”)
  • Why staying visible to your leaders matters as much as doing the work

If you’ve been waiting to be noticed, this conversation will show you what becomes possible when you say what you want out loud.
