  Episode 70: From Corporate to Consultant, with Katie Turner

  Jul 7, 202646 min

  Some people learn leadership in business school. Katie Turner came by it naturally, the one who took charge of group projects and rooms that needed someone at the helm. That drive carried her through nearly two decades of leading marketing teams across nonprofits, healthcare, and higher education, including work with the American Red Cross and Howard Community College, before asking herself what it would look like to build something of her own. In 2023, Katie left her VP-level corporate career to launch Kate Turner Marketing, a consultancy helping founder-led businesses close the gap between how they describe what they do and what actually makes their best clients hire them, something most business owners have a hard time answering. This is a conversation about knowing who you are, trusting what you're naturally good at, and having the guts to bet on it. https://kateturnermarketing.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/kateturnermarketing/

  Jun 16, 202648 min

  Lauren interviews Heather Bacher, Senior Vice President and Team Leader at Queenstown Bank, whose career is built on connection, trust, and a people-first approach to leadership. What started as a natural ability to build relationships and help others navigate challenges evolved into a career centered on communication, collaboration, and creating meaningful impact. A clear through line in Heather’s story is her assertiveness, her willingness to ask for what she deserves, and her ability to put herself out there in pursuit of new opportunities. As a natural leader, she has remained deeply curious about what drives people, using that insight to help individuals leverage their strengths and create stronger, more effective teams. This conversation is full of practical gems on networking, building authentic relationships, confidence, leadership, and the power of advocating for yourself while continuing to grow alongside others. https://www.linkedin.com/in/heatherbacher/ https://www.queenstownbank.com https://www.facebook.com/heather.bacher1129

Known for helping families and professionals make sense of environments that often feel overwhelming, Erin has built a reputation for bridging expertise with real-life experience. Her path, however, has been anything but linear. Shaped by both professional work and personal turning points, Erin reflects on how her understanding of success, leadership, and identity has evolved over time. With a deep sense of curiosity and a commitment to staying open-minded, she shares how she has learned to navigate her own anxiety, remain grounded in who she is, and create space for others to do the same. This is a thoughtful and honest conversation about growth, self-awareness, and what it means to keep learning as both a professional and a person. https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-lamb44/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/gateway-maryland/ https://gatewaymaryland.org https://www.facebook.com/gatewaymaryland/ https://www.instagram.com/gatewaymaryland/ https://gatewaymd.givevirtuous.org/Event/2026-ultimate-speakeasy https://www.instagram.com/arentwelucky44?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==
