Lisa Robyn Wood didn’t leave her senior role because of lack of ability; she walked away because self-doubt convinced her she wasn’t enough.
In this honest and energizing episode, Lisa shares how a crisis of confidence shifted her path toward coaching and why she’s dedicated to helping managers who feel stuck, exhausted, or unsupported.
She opens up about the realities of performance pressure, the pitfalls of “empowerment” gone wrong, and the freedom that comes from embracing your own leadership style, even when it doesn’t match the mold.
From her early days in the energy sector to her current work as “The Middle Manager Coach,” Lisa brings a refreshing perspective for anyone navigating the messy middle of leadership.
If you’ve ever questioned your worth as a manager, or wondered if leadership has to feel this heavy, this episode is your reminder: confidence isn’t something you search for—it’s something you reclaim.
