Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom Podcast: Episode Sixteen with Leah Carder

In this episode of Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom, host Kim Miller-Hershon sits down with Leah Carter, Head of Digital Product and Consumer Engagement at Reckitt for Enfamil.

Leah shares her journey from graphic design to leading a large team at a major corporation — and how she’s stayed true to her own way of doing things while navigating corporate life. From the power of asking for what you want, to redefining success as a leader, to giving (and receiving) feedback that actually helps people grow, Leah’s insights are both refreshing and practical.

We cover:

• 
  

  Why “reading the room” might be your most underrated leadership skill

  
  


• 
  

  How to manage people smarter than you — and why that’s a strength, not a threat

  
  


• 
  

  The fine line between personal and professional life at work

  
  


• 
  

  Dealing with imposter syndrome and speaking up anyway

  
  

It’s a candid, inspiring conversation for anyone who wants to lead with confidence, empathy, and a bit of rule-breaking flair.
