Joining us is the extraordinary Analiza Wolf, CEO of Women of Color RISE, executive coach, acclaimed author of "The Myths of Success: A Women of Color's Guide to Leadership," and host of the Women of Color Rise podcast. She brings her wealth of experience to the table, sharing insights into the unique challenges women—particularly women of color—face in climbing the corporate ladder.

In this candid conversation, Analiza unpacks the concept of the "concrete ceiling," navigates the nuances of networking, and champions the need for authentic relationship-building as a means to bolster job security and career progression. She bravely shares her personal trials and teaches us the transformative power of owning our mistakes and embracing vulnerability in leadership.

We'll dissect the societal norms and biases that discourage women from seeking top leadership roles and highlight the value of compassion and empathy—as opposed to traditional views that prioritize dominance. Analiza offers her perspective on the double bind of humility versus ambition, helping us understand how to communicate our achievements without diminishing the collective effort of our teams.

It's time to challenge the dichotomy of being both decisive and collaborative and to embrace a new paradigm of transformational leadership.

On today’s show, Analiza is going to share:  

• If you really want to change the world, women should aspire to be CEO. 
• Be prepared to navigate the double bind (ex. Be tough AND likeable) 
• It is possible to break through the concrete ceiling (different than the glass ceiling) for women of color – by understanding how the game is played.

Are you ready to make 2024 your best year yet?  

In the latest episode of the Women in Leadership Podcast, Annemarie Cross and special guest Karen Crowell shared 6 mindset and practical shifts to help you level up this year. These strategies are designed to help you overcome challenges, set and achieve your goals, and elevate your success, no matter what industry you're in.  

Here are 3 Key Takeaways from this episode: 

🔑 Audrey's Inner Circle Audit: Auditing the 5 closest people we surround ourselves with can have a significant impact on our focus and mindset. If we can't change the people we're around, we can change the conversations we have to ensure we're getting the positivity and support needed to thrive.

🔑 Crunch Time Question: Asking, "If I am to achieve a dream that had previously seemed impossible within the next 12 months, what would I have to let go of, and what would I have to embrace?" is a powerful way to gain clarity and focus on the steps necessary to achieve our goals.

🔑 Focus on the Fix, Not the Fault: Shifting our focus to finding solutions rather than dwelling on faults can be a game-changer. This mindset shift allows us to take responsibility, learn from setbacks, and move forward productively.

My guest today says, “Women face a powerful barrier that we must break through to make it to bigger leadership roles. It is not the glass ceiling—it is the mirrored door.” 

Joining me on today’s show is Ellen Taaffe.  

Ellen is a Clinical Associate Professor at the Kellogg School of Management, where she teaches Personal Leadership Insights and is the Director of Women’s Leadership Program. She spent 25 years with Fortune 500 companies holding the top brand management post at divisions of PepsiCo, Royal Caribbean, and Whirlpool Corporation.  

Ellen serves as an independent board director for two public and one private company boards, runs a leadership advisory consulting, speaking, and coaching business and is a TEDx speaker.  

She shares her insights on leadership, careers, and advancing women and inclusion through her writing and speaking in media like Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Business Insider, Washington Post, Bloomberg, and Kellogg Insight. 

On today’s show, Ellen is going to share:  

1. Five strategies that help women succeed but also unintentionally sideline them     
2. How childhood expectations help women succeed academically but carry self-judgment and hesitation later   
3. Why women struggle to set boundaries in the workplace—and how to overcome people-pleasing behaviours in their professional and personal life
