What happens when you stop leading with armor and start leading with your whole heart? How do you navigate success, rejection, and change while staying true to yourself? How have you gotten stronger and where do you want to grow?
Carla Piñeyro Sublett, C-Suite coach, former IBM and NI CMO, and podcast host of Let’s Go There, has lived at the highest levels of corporate leadership and then chose a different path rooted in service, authenticity, and humanity.
What we cover in this episode:
- How naming fear and leading with vulnerability can unlock trust, improve leadership, and strengthen relationships at work.
- Why work-life balance is a myth and how to design a career and life that feels authentic, fluid, and human.
- This week’s micro-moment, Most Improved Player: how noticing and rewarding progress builds resilience, fuels growth, and creates lasting confidence.
