Build influence through self-advocacy and elegance! “Elegant Warrior” Heather Hansen (Episode 161)
She Said / She Said
09/20/21 • 45 min
THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:
Learning how to advocate for ourselves and the people and issues we care about is not only key to achieving our goals, but is also important for developing INFLUENCE.
While we most often think of ADVOCACY in terms of what we can do for others, it takes on a whole new meaning when we flip the concept into how we can use those same skills to advocate for ourselves.
THIS WEEK’S GUEST:
Heather Hansen spent 20 years as an award-winning trial attorney. More recently, she turns what she learned about advocacy in the courtroom and used it to distinguish herself as a trained mediator, coach, television commentator, author of two books “Advocate to Win,” “The Elegant Warrior,” keynote speaker, and host of “The Elegant Warrior Podcast.” Heather takes us on her own journey to becoming a better advocate which she defines as “helping people choose what YOU want THEM to choose.”
KEY TOPICS:
CAREER PIVOT: Heather describes her journey as “an evolution,” but I especially love how she describes it as “a vision that no one else could see.”
ELEGANCE: We dive deep into this word (Heather is a life-long logophile — i.e. lover of words). At its root, ELEGANCE means “to choose.”
ADVOCACY & CHOICE: Heather talks about our “inner and outer juries.” We are actually advocating to both. We are much less effective as advocates when our “inner jury” — often referred to on She Said/She Said Podcast as our “self talk,” isn’t aligned with the messages we are sending or our efforts to advocate externally to and for others.
TAMING OUR INNER CRITIC: Heather and I both reflect on our challenges with navigating our inner critics.
WHY NOT ASK “WHY?”: We examine how asking “why” can have unintended consequences. She offers some alternative language.
HEATHER’S GREAT TIP FOR CULTIVATING CURIOSITY: The Question Journal
Whether advocating for your ideas, career, or your potential, my conversation with Heather is sure to leave you with plenty of elegant warrior-inspired strategies to guide you on the path to getting what you want! And, can provide some powerful ammunition for building INFLUENCE!

259. How to navigate a major career or life disruption
She Said / She Said
08/18/23 • 48 min
Title: How to navigate a major career or life disruption
ENCORE Episode 259
Guest: Executive Coach and author Maggie Craddock
THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:
Have you ever had your career or life dramatically upended? As you think back on the experience, you likely can recall the feelings of fear, uncertainty, and lost control, and how disorienting, unsettling, and incredibly stressful, all of that can be.
All of those things can leave us struggling to find our footing, and most importantly, our way forward.
I’ve pulled this conversation from our archives because it’s packed with great perspective to help you navigate those major disruptions. It will also give you great tools needed to turn those disruptive experiences into influence-building capital.
If there’s one thing that defined the past several years, disruption in our lives has been a theme.... And learning to navigate those disruptiions has become the name of the game and the essential ingredient for personal and professional growth and survival. That’s largely been true no matter what you job or vocation may be or have been.
ABOUT THIS WEEK’S GUEST:
Maggie Craddock is an executive coach and the author of Lifeboat: Navigating Unexpected Career Change and Disruption.
Maggie has worked with clients at all professional levels — from those just entering the workforce, to midlife pivoters, all the way up to Fortune 500 CEOs. She’s been featured on top business news shows as well as in leading publications including the wall street journaL and the Harvard Business Review.
Despite Maggie’s two plus decades of experience as an exec coach, that’s not where her career started as she explains in our conversation.
Much of her work today focuses on understanding behaviors and behavioral dynamics in the workplace, and her most recent book focuses on navigating career change and disruption and drawing parallels between leadership mistakes made on the Titanic, as well as Lifeboat #6.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
- The value an executive coach can provide when you are struggling or stuck.
- Why emotional agility under pressure is so important and how you can learn to develop it.
- How our personal narratives can impact how we respond to circumstances and stress.
- Where to start when your career or life dramatically shifts and you need to put it all back together.
- The parallels Maggie draws between leadership failures on the Titanic, and everyday leadership challenges combine for powerful perspective that has withstood the test of time.

Tips on time, and making the most of it (Episode 131)
She Said / She Said
12/14/20 • 22 min
This week, I’m thinking a lot about time. How to finish all the last minute holiday planning and gift buying/giving, while also trying to make sure that gatherings — even if they are virtual — are special and memorable. Every year, including this one, I struggle with a to do list that seems to stretch for miles. Couple that with my own — often unrealistically high– expectations and it can be a bit overwhelming. I suspect you can relate! As I was thinking about all of this, I was reminded of a conversation I had back in March 2020 with time management and productivity expert Laura Vanderkam (Episode 93).
Because Laura’s advice remains incredibly insightful, I’ve pulled some particularly valuable excerpts from that earlier conversation — tips and perspective that really resonated with me, and I hope will with you too!
I know your time is precious, but I think you’ll find this conversation and investment in YOU worth it! Let me know what you think. If you are listening on Itunes, please be sure to click “review” and leave a review. I’m always so grateful for your input, suggestions, and constructive feedback.
Until next time, take care!

What it takes to raise (and become) an innovator: author Margot Machol Bisnow (Episode 153)
She Said / She Said
05/17/21 • 49 min
This week’s guest set out to understand how some of the most successful and creative entrepreneurs were raised. She interviewed a diverse mix of innovative founders and executives (as well as some of their parents) including: YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki; TOMS Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie; Under Armour founder Kevin Plank; Supermodel Karolina Kurkova; movie director Jon Chu, among others. What she learned provides insight not only for raising children to be risk takers and problem solvers, but also how we can embrace practices in our own lives that help us develop those same capacities.
Margot Machol Bisnow spent much of her early career in government, including on the Federal Trade Commission. Before that, she served as chief of staff to President Ronald Reagan’s Council of Economic Advisers. It was only after Margot’s two sons were grown that she became inspired by the idea of entrepreneurship and how we can do a better job of cultivating it — in our children and in ourselves.
I’ll let Margot tell you the rest of the story, but here are a couple of important highlights from our conversation: the value of supporting and pursing the passions and interests that fuel you, and allowing kids to do the same. (With so many folks contemplating career pivots, it can be incredibly valuable to get back to what initially sparked your passion, and what you loved doing as a kid!) We also talk about the valuable role of competition in building confidence and risk taking, as well as the power of learning to embrace failure and setback.
Margot’s journey and findings led her to publish “Raising and Entrepreneurs: 10 Rules for Nurturing Risk Takers, problem solvers, and change makers” in 2016. The book has been expanded and updated for re-release in the fall. You can pre-order the book in July 2021.
Friend, I’m grateful you tuned in, and I’d love to know what you thought about today’s conversation, or any of our She Said/She Said Podcast episodes. How have you thought about this idea of pursuing your passion, and encouraging your children — if you have them — to do the same? How did Margot’s findings strike you? Any surprises? I’d love to know. You can reach me via the contact link at SheSaidSheSaidPodcast.com or DM me on Instagram @LauraCoxKaplan or message me on Linked In at Laura Cox Kaplan
Most of all, I hope you found this little investment in you well worth it! Have a great week!

278. Can understanding your enneagram type help you crush your 2024 goals? Guest Beth McCord
She Said / She Said
01/19/24 • 44 min
SHOW NOTES
Episode 278: Can understanding the enneagram help you crush your 2024 goals, or at least help increase your awareness of beahviors that might stand in your way? Enneagram Coach Beth McCord
Topic: Ever heard of enneagram?
After taking the FREE enneagram quiz offered by this week’s guest (see link below where you can take the quiz), I was curious about how the 9 types relate to each other, and how it would match up against other personality tests.
Finding ourselves in the midst of transitions or pivots can often be one of the most important times to dial into our core tendencies and understand how they may be motivating our behaviors — for better, and for worse. It can also offer a powerful tool for goal setting by helping us get more clear on our inherent motivations and emotional drivers.
THIS WEEK’S GUEST: Enneagram coach and author Beth McCord has been teaching and coaching others on the use of enneagram for more than two decades. She co-founded her business “Your Enneagram Coach” with her husband Jeff. Her passion comes from helping people better understand their personal stories and how those stories motivate their behavior.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN EPISODE 278:
What is the enneagram?
How enneagram can act as your “rumble strip.”
What makes your own enneagram type unique to you and your story.
How the enneagram can be useful alongside other personality assessments.
Why it’s less effective to try to assign others a “type.”
How to think about enneagram, parenting, and your kids.

Overcoming fear, defying odds, and helping others do the same: Megan Bushell, CEO, DEFY & Miss Kansas 2004 (Episode 150)
She Said / She Said
04/26/21 • 52 min
Megan Bushell is the CEO of Defy, a sports and performance drink and product brand she co-founded with former NFL hall of famer Terrell Davis of the Denver Broncos.
Defiance and perseverance are something Megan knows a bit about because her story and her path to the c-suite isn’t necessarily typical. It’s one of many things I love about this episode and think you will too!
We do a deep dive into Megan’s origin story and how competition — specifically in the Miss America pageant system — fueled her ability to overcome fear. Megan was Miss Kansas 2004, and placed in the 10 top at Miss America that same year. Those accomplishments came only after trying and failing some nine times before.
Megan and I talk about what she learned from that experience and the value that comes from challenging ourselves, learning to compete, and especially learning from our failures and setbacks. Those are such important building block for confidence. We also talk about work/life prioritization, picking partners, and knowing our value.
And, we also talk about the innovation and growth in the CBD market and how products — like those at DEFY — are helping their customers compete and stay in the game.
I’m grateful you joined me for this episode and I would love your feedback. What resonated with you? Please be sure to leave us a review, and I’d love for you to share the episode with others who you think would benefit from this content.
Most of all.... I hope you found this time and investment in yourself worthwhile. Let me know!
Until next week, take care!

Using the power of story to dramatize ideals: pharmaceutical chemist turned fiction author Genevieve “Gen” LaGreca (Episode 120)
She Said / She Said
09/30/20 • 38 min
Genevive “Gen” LaGreca has built a successful career as an independent author who uses the power of story to portray and dramatize thought-provoking ideas and ideals especially related to freedom and independence.
Her latest book — her fourth — is entitled “Just the Truth.” It casts fictionalized media maven and heroine Laura Taninger in a fight for the truth that will seem eerily timely. Gen wrote the book over a 5 year period, but its themes are particularly relevant now as the 2020 election approaches, and as questions mount about both the integrity of journalism and of the election process.
Both the book and our conversation, while not partisan, will challenge your thinking no matter which side of the aisle you may identify with most.
In addition to the book, Gen and I also talk about Gen’s own story and how she went from pharmaceutical chemist to fiction author, how to make a big career pivot — including doing so as a second or third career, and how diversity of experience informs her work.
A small request for you, dear listener, if you enjoy the episode — or any of our episodes, please share a nice review on Itunes. It really helps us move up the charts and also find other listeners who would enjoy our content. And, since I’m asking, please consider sharing the podcast with others in your circle who you think would enjoy and benefit from these conversations! I would be so grateful! Until next week! xo

Taking risks and innovating media coverage of women: Emily Ramshaw, co-founder & CEO, The 19th* (Episode 109)
She Said / She Said
06/15/20 • 46 min
Emily Ramshaw is an innovator in media today. As the co-founder and CEO of The 19th*, she is creating the nation’s first non-profit, nonpartisan newsroom that is situated squarely at the intersection of gender, politics and policy. Emily and her team are working to create a platform that more inclusively covers issues as they pertain to women of all races, faiths, and political persuasions. It’s a huge challenge to be sure, but for Emily it’s the big idea that just wouldn’t go away and the one she felt was worth taking a big risk for!
The 19th* is also embracing a cutting edge non-profit journalism business model similar to one created at the Texas Tribune. Emily has spent the past decade at the Tribune, and as editor-in-chief since 2016.
When Texas Tribune co-founders Evan Smith and Ross Ramsey were asked how they selected Emily to join the team they were building, Ramsey is quoted as saying: “You ought to hire the reporters who you are afraid to compete with.”
Emily is a real journalist who understands how to dig into a story. She’s gone undercover in a polygamous West Texas cult, exposed sexual abuse in juvenile detention centers, and her work as both a journalist and leader in media earned her a seat on the Pulitzer board.
In this episode, I talk with Emily about:
- how she’s building The 19th* (which is a nod to the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which gave women the right to vote);
- how to manage an almost entirely virtual model (even beyond COVID);
- what impact she hopes to have;
- how she’ll work to include and cover specific groups of women who often feel left out or ignored by traditional media sources;
- how she evaluates professional risks;
- how she tackles self-doubt;
- what she’s learned from motherhood (she’s the mom of four-year-old Sophie);
- and more.

I’m grateful for your time, and hope you find this and all of our conversations insightful and uplifting!

Kate Boyer is the CEO of luxury activewear company Anatomie. Recognized as one of the most disruptive brands in 2020 (just behind All Bird Shoes) Kate, together with her husband Shawn who runs the design side of the business, had to even more fully embrace this notion of disruption. Using her passion for the brand and for their customer, she retooled the company’s marketing focus while simultaneously reinventing a salesforce to make up for lost revenue due to COVID. That’s not so unusual, but doing it practically overnight is! Up until COVID, Anatomie relied on high-end resorts and cruise lines for about 50 percent of its business.
Kate was born in Soviet-occupied Budapest, Hungary. Her journey from there to where she is today required tremendous grit, risk-taking, and determination, not to mention embracing entrepreneurship and free enterprise which were all but unheard of under the communist regime of her youth. You will love the story of why and how she got her start, and how she thinks about direct-to-consumer sales and branding.
Kate also shares important advice on staying true to your core mission and brand, and she reminds us that “we can’t be all things to all people.” That’s true whether you’re running a retail company, or just managing yourself.
There is so much to love about Kate, and the Anatomie brand. (I’ve included links below to items we talked about in the episode, including the amazing camo cargos!) Kate’s energy and positivity are truly contagious!

Title: “How your influence can support your entrepreneurial dreams”
WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH BONUS ENCORE Episode 239
Guest: A’Lelia Bundles, journalist, author and great-great granddaughter of Madam C. J. Walker
THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:
Building influence in your life and career can also help you create and leverage entrepreneurial opportunities— opportunities that don’t just serve your personal purposes, but that can help address an important need or fill a void that exists. When we get that right, it can make a tremendous difference in our ability to connect with our potential client or customer and in ways that help move them to become “raving fans!” It becomes a relationship, and something that’s much more powerful than a simple transaction.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been sharing a special collaboration series featuring women founders and entrepreneurs who are part of The Southern Coterie network. Like she said/she said podcast, The Southern C’s mission is to encourage and empower women personally and professionally and to do so by sharing stories, best practices, and advice. That sharing often leads to some powerful collaborations and some incredible opportunities!
As I’ve been reflecting on entrepreneurship and collaboration, and the connection to influence, I’ve also been thinking about one of my favorite stories about one of the first women business founders who grew her company to become one of the first women millionaires, and the first woman of color to do so. Her story is one of not only entrepreneurship, but also connection, empowering others, and pure chutzpah. It’s a great compliment to our TSC series and also a great way to celebrate Women’s History Month!
THIS WEEK’S GUEST:
A’Lelia Bundles is the great, great granddaughter of Madam C. J. Walker, one of the first women millionaires who built her company in the early 1900s to create products for African American women when few such products were available. With tremendous hard work and the support of her community of women, she propelled herself from laundress to entrepreneur and she did it using so many of the levers of influence that we talk about on this podcast.
In this weeks BONUS ENCORE Episode to celebrate Women’s History Month, I’m sharing my conversation with A’Lelia which we recorded in 2021.
A’Lelia is an award-winning journalist and historian who is the official keeper of her family’s history. Her book “On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C. J. Walker” was adapted into a Netflix series that fictionalizes aspects of Walker’s story.
KEY TOPICS AND WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
How Madam Walker’s service mindset helped her build a strong customer base.
How Madam Walker used direct marketing to create a connection with her customer.
How Madam Walker drew confidence from her close network of women.
How she turned the investment she made in herself into investments in others in a myriad of ways.
How A’Lelia perspective and commitment to Madam Walker’s story is the reason why we have a better understanding of her incredible accomplishments.
