Stepping into leadership isn’t always a moment of celebration. Sometimes, it begins with a conflict you didn’t expect, pressure you didn’t ask for, or a role you never imagined would be yours. In this episode, Rhonda Levine now the CEO of Ziosk—shares the kind of leadership journey that doesn’t start in a boardroom, but in the messy, human moments where confidence is tested, courage is born, and emotional intelligence becomes a non-negotiable skill.
Rhonda takes us behind the curtain of her transition from CPA to tech CEO, revealing how saying yes to unfamiliar opportunities, even terrifying ones, shaped her entire path. As she recounts lessons learned from early mentors, the reality of facing bullies in professional settings, and the pivotal moments where she had to choose between staying silent or stepping up, she paints a vivid picture of what modern leadership really demands.
