About this episode
The episode explores the challenges and shifts in mindset that occur when stepping into higher leadership roles, featuring insights from executive coach Bianca Riemer.
What happens when you step into a bigger role—and realize what got you there isn’t enough anymore? In this episode, I speak with executive leadership and influence coach Bianca Riemer to explore the shift many people experience when they move into a mid to high-level or executive leadership role. It becomes about influence, communication, and how you show up under pressure. Here’s a glimpse of what Bianca shared: • Why stepping into leadership often brings unexpected pressure, visibility, and self-doubt • The question many people quietly ask: “Am I actually cut out for this?” • Why leadership is less about authority—and more about understanding what people care about • A simple way to listen for what matters to someone and use it to communicate more effectively • How to regulate your nervous system in high-pressure moments using your breath We also talk about the internal side of growth—the identity shift that happens as your role expands, and how to navigate it without losing yourself in the process. When your life carries more responsibility, the condition of your biology starts to matter more—not less. Connect with Bianca: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/biancariemer…
