Ever prayed for the promotion—then panicked once it came?
In this episode of Life & Leadership with Kim Williams, I open up about the moment I stepped into my dream role as a first-time CEO... and immediately found myself drowning in deficit, dysfunction, and doubt. I share how I overcame the shock of promotion by drawing on my consulting background and preparing for leadership long before I ever got the title.
Whether you're on the cusp of a promotion or leading in a brand-new role, this episode will give you the mindset and strategy to rise with grace, not grind.
You’ll learn:
- Why promotions often bring more problems than praise
- 3 ways to prepare for leadership before the title arrives
- How to identify and close your leadership gaps now
- Why being ready is more important than being recognized
It’s not just about climbing the ladder—it’s about standing strong once you’ve made it to the top.
