Start with the better question: when, not if. That single shift unlocks a charged, deeply practical conversation about women’s leadership, the cultural myths that gatekeep power, and the concrete moves that help people flourish at work and beyond. We sit down with Dr. Shirley Davis and Pamala McCoy to blend lived experience, HR expertise, and entrepreneurial grit into a toolkit you can actually use.
We trace the spark that surrounds a woman running for the highest office and connect it to everyday leadership: bias you can name, intuition you can trust, and resilience you can build. Pamela shares how a hostile C‑suite nudged her into launching a purpose-driven company—and why gratitude for that “bona‑5D blessing” still fuels her. Dr. Shirley brings thirty years of HR leadership to the table, translating research into action on disengagement, toxic managers, psychological safety, and the power of a personal board of advisors. Together, we map the real drivers of engagement—great leaders, flexibility, and meaning—while disentangling surface distractions from structural problems.
We go deep on mental health, especially in Black and brown communities and among men, where stigma runs high. Pamela spotlights The Confess Project training barbers as first-line listeners, turning trusted community spaces into compassionate entry points for care. We dig into privacy, EAP access, and how companies can protect employees while normalizing help-seeking. Then we take on the boys’ club with candor, acknowledging where sponsorship came from, where it didn’t, and how modern sisterhood—intentional, cross-country networks—turns praise into promotions and referrals. Expect sharp takes on AI and reskilling, return-to-office friction, and the art of standing firm with policy, poise, and purpose.
