There's a moment most leaders know well — heart pounding, voice shaking, surrounded by people with bigger titles — where you have to decide whether to raise your hand or stay quiet. Olivia Lynch raised hers. In a room of 400 senior Salesforce executives, with her CEO present and cameras rolling.

In this episode of the Small Brave Moves Podcast, Nicole Bianchi sits down with Olivia Lynch, Director of Sales Programs at Salesforce and Global President of the Salesforce Women's Network, for a conversation about what bravery actually looks like when the stakes are high and the whole room is watching.

Olivia doesn't talk about bravery in theory. She talks about the specific moment she chose to speak up, what was running through her head before she did, and what shifted in the room after. Nicole and Olivia dig into why the bravest move in a high-stakes environment is rarely a grand gesture — it's usually one powerful question that reframes everything.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

• Build confidence and credibility—even when you don’t feel “ready”
• Use curiosity and powerful questions to lead more effectively
• Navigate imposter syndrome and high-pressure leadership environments
• Leverage Small Brave Moves to create lasting career impact

If you've ever talked yourself out of raising your hand, this episode is for you.
