What if the most important part of leadership begins after your biggest win?
Change has a way of forcing clarity—even when it arrives through uncertainty, loss, or exhaustion.
In this reflective year-end episode with our host, Brooke Skinner Ricketts, you’re invited to pause and take stock of what it really took to keep going. Through honest stories from senior leaders who navigated layoffs, reinvention, and rapid transformation, you’ll hear how resilience isn’t something you either have or don’t—it’s something you practice. And adaptation isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about staying willing to move before certainty arrives.
Guests share deeply personal moments, being laid off after giving everything to a role, rebuilding confidence after broken trust, and redefining leadership in a world reshaped by AI and constant change. You’re reminded that growth doesn’t always look like progress in the moment, and that community, integrity, and self-awareness often carry you forward when strategy alone isn’t enough.
In this episode, reflect on what this year demanded of you and what you’re ready to carry into what's next.
