    What Happens When You Give Yourself PERMISSION to Lead Your Life
    Aug 27 2025
    What happens when success no longer fits the story you’ve been told? Dr. Taryn Fletcher joins Leadership Rewired to unpack bold pivots, shedding old identities, and why the power to redefine success has always been inside you. Most leaders chase titles, accolades, and the version of “success” they’ve been conditioned to believe. But what happens when those very definitions no longer serve you? In this kickoff episode of Leadership Rewired Season 2, Allison Allen sits down with Dr. Taryn Fletcher — award-winning educator, bestselling author, and founder of the Pivot Accelerator for Closet Change Makers. Together, they explore how real leaders navigate pivots, shed outdated identities, and give themselves permission to pursue alignment over approval. Dr. Taryn shares her deeply personal story of balancing joy and fear, redefining identity after seismic life changes, and why reconnecting with the truest version of yourself isn’t optional — it’s leadership. In this conversation, you’ll learn: Why success is often too small a vision — and how to expand it. The difference between “closet change makers” and leaders with true CEO energy. How permission, vulnerability, and integrity fuel bold pivots. Why legacy isn’t about bigness — but about how you show up in the everyday. 🎧 Special for Leadership Rewired listeners: Dr. Taryn is offering access to her private podcast — designed for leaders who know they’re meant for more but haven’t yet made the leap. Tap into exclusive insights, behind-the-scenes strategies, and practical tools for navigating your next pivot.

  • Leading a Team? Gen Z Do This!

    Leading a Team? Gen Z Do This!
    Aug 19 2025
    Gen Z leaders are stepping into management faster than ever — but without support, trust is breaking, teams are stalling, and talent is walking out the door. Is it really a Gen Z issue… or a system failure? Leadership isn’t what it used to be. Gen Z now makes up nearly 20% of the workforce — and many are being promoted into management roles leading people twice their age. But here’s the catch: organizations are tossing them into high-stakes leadership with little to no support. The result? Burnout, attrition, and teams stuck in turf wars instead of teamwork. In this episode of Leadership Rewired, Allison Allen unpacks The Gen Z Manager Paradox — why early-career leaders are set up to struggle, where organizations are getting it wrong, and the practical moves both managers and companies must make to stop burning out talent and start building leadership pipelines that last. You’ll learn: ➡️ The hidden cost of “sink-or-swim” promotions. ➡️ The credibility traps new managers fall into — and how to avoid them. ➡️ Three moves every Gen Z manager can make in their first 30 days. ➡️ What HR and executives must change to actually support early leaders. If you’re a Gen Z leader trying to figure it out on the fly — or a senior leader responsible for growing the next generation — this episode is for you.
