Show Notes
In this episode of Transforming 45, Lisa Boate sits down with leadership development expert Kaneshi Hart for a grounded, honest conversation about what leadership looks like in this season of life — when identity is shifting, energy is changing, and the old ways of pushing through no longer work.
This episode is especially for women in midlife who are:
-
stepping into new roles
-
questioning how they’ve led in the past
-
navigating menopause, burnout, or reinvention
-
craving a more human, values-led way of leading
Kaneshi shares why so many new leaders struggle — and how midlife can actually become a powerful reset point for leadership rooted in clarity, confidence, and self-trust.
What You’ll Learn in this Episode
-
Why 60% of new managers fail — and what midlife women can do differently
-
How self-leadership becomes essential during times of transition
-
Why traditional leadership models often fail women in midlife
-
The role of values clarity when everything feels like it’s shifting
-
How to rebuild confidence without forcing or performing
-
Why vulnerability and accountability are leadership strengths
-
How to lead with more humanity, not more hustle
-
Why relationships and community matter more than ever
-
How to give yourself grace while redefining who you are becoming
Leadership in midlife isn’t about proving yourself. It’s about leading from truth, experience, and self-awareness — and allowing that to evolve as you do.
This conversation is a reminder that:
-
You’re not behind
-
You’re not failing
-
You’re in a season of redefinition
And that’s where the most meaningful leadership begins.
