  146. Developing Your Own Leadership Strategy with Kyle Pertuis

  Aug 6, 202636 min

  Leadership strategy is the foundation of this episode, and the conversation is built for professionals who are ready to stop reacting and start leading deliberately. Many executives spend years executing without ever designing a clear direction for themselves or their teams. You will walk away with a new way of thinking about what it takes to grow, lead well, and bring people with you. Our host Porschia, alongside guest Kyle Pertuis, get into what it actually means to develop a leadership strategy as opposed to just a plan, and why understanding the difference changes how you lead every day. Kyle shares his 3-pillar formula of awareness, connection, and engagement, and explains how each one shapes the energy and effectiveness of the leader you are becoming. Expect a grounded conversation with real examples and ideas you can bring into your next leadership decision. They also tackle the biggest mistakes executives make when developing leadership strategies for their teams, including why disengaged leaders and a constant search for external solutions quietly cost organizations more than they realize. Kyle challenges leaders to stop overlooking the development resource already sitting inside their own organizations, and explains why leveraging internal talent is one of the most underused and most powerful moves a leader can make.

  Salary negotiation skills and strategies are something most professionals know they need, but few feel confident using. Many executives and high performers are significantly underpaid, often without realizing it, and without knowing how to change it. Do you know what you are actually worth in the market, and do you have the tools to ask for it? In this episode, you will learn more about salary negotiation skills and strategies. Our host Porschia, alongside guest Candyce Hunt, share their insight on why so many high performers stay underpaid and what it actually takes to change that. They explore how the mindset you bring to the negotiation table matters just as much as the number you bring with you. They will also discuss the 4 real costs of not negotiating your salary, and why the impact goes far beyond your paycheck. The conversation also walks through the TRUE framework, Candyce's step-by-step approach to negotiation that begins with internal work long before you ever sit across from a hiring manager.

  144. What to Do When You're Laid Off

  Jul 8, 202615 min

  Knowing what to do when you're laid off can mean the difference between landing a better role in 90 days or spinning your wheels for two years. Most professionals jump straight into applying online, and that one move quietly costs them months. Are you clear on what actually works in the first 30 days after a layoff? Porschia, host and CEO of Fly High Coaching, walks through the 3 most important things to do immediately after a layoff so you can protect your confidence, regain control, and make your next move strategically rather than emotionally. She also breaks down the biggest mistakes professionals make right after a layoff. Things like applying before updating your resume, skipping your personal brand audit, and leaning on friends and family for market insight they simply don't have. This episode covers how to calculate your financial runway, define your target list, and shift from job seeker to problem solver before you send a single application.

  143. Multi-Generational Mentoring at Work with Dr. Summer Watson

  Jun 18, 202640 min

  Mentoring at work only succeeds when leaders understand the generation sitting across the table from them. Most companies are juggling five generations at once, each shaped by different experiences, different communication styles, and different ideas about what support looks like. Are you confident your mentoring approach actually works across that gap? In this episode, you will learn more about multi-generational mentoring at work. Our host Porschia, alongside guest Dr. Summer Watson, will share their insight on why ego is often the biggest barrier to cross-generational collaboration, and what it really takes to build mentorship that sticks. They will also discuss 4 common reasons mentoring programs fail, including the lack of structure, follow-up, and oversight that quietly kills good intentions. The conversation also covers what makes mentoring work when it crosses generational lines, and why a sense of belonging matters more than most leaders realize.
