You Belong in the C-Suite: Recent Episodes
Laura Eigel
You are a leader (yes, you!) in your job, in your community, and at home. You want to make a bigger impact, but you want to do it authentically as you.

You have big career goals AND want to make an impact in the world.
This show will give you the clarity and actionable tools to lead with your values to create the impact you want in the world through your authentic leadership. With over 15 years in consulting, associations, and Fortune 50 companies, Laura Eigel, Ph.D., is on a mission to accelerate the growth of diverse leaders to lead as their authentic selves in the workplace. Laura will give you actionable tips from her career as an executive and in the c-suite in solo episodes and through interviews with real leaders.
More diversity is needed in the top jobs at organizations. More authenticity. Your leadership belongs there. You belong in the c-suite.

Anant's journey is nothing short of inspiring. Growing up in a small town in Georgia, he faced systemic inequities and extreme poverty, which shaped his resilience and passion for justice. He shares his unexpected path from nearly dropping out of college to building a globally recognized social enterprise that partners with some of the world's largest companies.

Do you think there is a right or wrong personality type for a CEO?
Today's episode is focused on a recent study done by Stanford and MIT: "There's no such thing as a perfect CEO personality type".
Laura has been studying and working with leaders for over 20 years and in today's episode she brings her expertise along with the study mentioned above to explore what research tells us about the common stereotypes of personality traits every CEO should have, and how a CEOs personality affects the pattern of behavior which in turn shapes the culture of an organization.
There isn't a single perfect personality for a CEO. Personality, values, and organizational culture are all connected which means you as a leader can create and influence cultures aligned to what's important to you. Remember, your leadership belongs here. You belong in the C-suite.

Do any of these phrases sound familiar to you?
"She has some great ideas but she’s just not the right culture fit"
"He’s got the drive we want, he fits with the culture”.
Culture fit - what does that even mean?
Culture fit is a term often used to justify decisions that we don’t know how to express or a way for leaders to not give specific feedback.
In today’s episode, Laura goes over a major mindset shift - moving from culture fit to values alignment. Plus, she also explains how by doing intentional values work and identifying behaviors, companies can define what their cultures really are.
Are you ready to align your values with the culture of your organization and start belonging rather than fitting in? We have plenty of tools and resources to help you do that.

Welcome to the third episode of the career transition series. If you thought the first two episodes of this series were good, then you simply cannot miss this one.
In today's episode, Laura covers what is probably the toughest part when going through a career transition - working through what to leave behind and what to bring with you into your next experience. Often we skip over this important work and in the next role we find some of the same things (toxic work environment, never shutting off, etc.). This usually takes quite a bit of reflection and support if we want to successfully create space for new experiences and keep the momentum going while still living your values.
Listen in as Laura walks us through a practical exercise on how to navigate this season of your career and shares the strategy she recommends when transitioning into a new job.
So, what bags are you letting go of and what are you bringing with you into your new role? Reach out to Laura and let her know!

Today's episode is all about learning to prioritize yourself and how that shows up in your values!
In her coaching practice, Laura talks with many people about their core values but often finds that people do not list “prioritize myself” as one of them.
Prioritizing yourself is hard. It takes work and it takes setting boundaries. And it is crucial to set those boundaries to hold that space for yourself. So let's get you back to that place where you are holding that boundary for yourself, and that is the default.

In today’s episode, Laura welcomes author, podcast host, co-founder, and CEO at muGrid Analytics, Amy Simpkins. Amy solves problems at the intersection of energy, technology, and economics using math and modeling.
The clean energy industry is booming and changing the way we have thought about energy over the past 100 years. There is a disruption to the stability that we have relied on, due to the nature of innovation and the changes that come with it. Around this, there is a common theme of “both, and” and the balance that is necessary in order for them to work hand in hand. Innovation is for everyone; innovation is an inherently human process. Through that process of innovation, there is a leap between theory and practice - and the leap is a chasm.
Tune into this episode to learn about the types of innovation, who can be an innovator (and how to do it), recognizing the need for, and knowing when to innovate, and the need for diversity, equity, and inclusion in leadership to have a boundary-breaking webbed perspective.

Do you have a hard time recognizing your own accomplishments or feeling comfortable when talking about them to others?
Today's episode is a game-changer when it comes to bragging, as our guest, Meredith Fineman debunks the negative connotation of this word.
Fineman has decades of experience teaching professionals how to strategically and cohesively project their work so that the right people notice it in a way that plays to their strengths.
As she mentions, "a brag is a strategic piece of information to get what you want. It's not only about what you've done but also about how you're delivering it and how you're making someone feel and advocate for you".
Throughout this episode, you'll hear Fineman outline the key elements of effective bragging, how to inspire and benefit others by sharing your accomplishments, and how to model a culture of healthy pride in which bragging isn't seen as something shameful.
