Do you feel your corporate experience is holding you back or powering you forward in your business journey?

Many women who leave their career behind to become their own boss have gritty stories to tell that make you gasp, sigh or roll your eyes at the soul-destroying scenarios they had to endure as a female with leadership goals.

But what if the skills you picked up inside those power-hungry boardrooms are secretly your biggest assets as an entrepreneur?

If you’ve ever felt like corporate life was a world away from your own business, you’ll want to hear this.

I’m thrilled to welcome Ros Cardinal to the show. Ros is an organizational development consultant, executive coach, and the brilliant mind behind the Women’s Leader Archetypes model. With her model already in use in nearly 100 countries,

Ros is known for her knack for making complex ideas feel simple and completely practical.

We unpack how women’s natural leadership styles get lost (or dismissed) in traditional workplaces, and we explore how you can reclaim your own power and lead your business in your unique way.

Here’s what we get stuck into:

Why do so many talented women leave successful corporate careers for entrepreneurship — and what makes them rethink leadership entirely?
What are the hidden leadership strengths women often bring from their corporate lives, without even realising?
How do traditional workplaces force women to mould themselves into someone they’re not, and what toll does that take?
What are the 8 leader archetypes? How do the "shadow" and "empowered" roles play out day-to-day, and how can spotting them help you grow your business?
How can you harness your strengths and break free from the “not enough” trap to truly thrive on your own terms?

You’ll no doubt relate to the stories told in this episode and more importantly- the lesson learned from each one.

Whether you’re still in corporate, thinking about the leap, or years into running your own business, you’ll walk away with a new perspective on your strengths, your challenges, and your potential.

This is a must-listen if you want to lead your business boldly and in a way that feels authentically you.
