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.

Welcome to another episode of Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom!🎙️ I’m your host, Kim Miller-Hershon, and this is the show where clichés come to retire—and fresh thinking we inspire.

I’m absolutely thrilled to be speaking with Brandon V. Woodward—a powerhouse business attorney, straight-shooting leader, and real talker on everything from the courtroom to the conference room.

With over two decades of experience in business litigation, foreclosures, bankruptcy, and complex mergers, Brandon V. Woodward brings a wealth of legal expertise to the table. But what makes this conversation truly unmissable isn’t just his knowledge—it’s his unfiltered insight into what it really takes to lead a successful firm.

Here’s a taste of what we dive into:

The identity crises that happen when your business grows faster than you do

What it means to lead a company where loyalty flows both ways

The ongoing dance of charging what your work is truly worth

Why being the calm one at work can leave you falling apart at home

How he deals with the voice that still asks, “Who do you think you are?”—even after 25 years in business

Brandon pulls back the curtain on what it means to grow, lead, and stay grounded—without losing yourself or your standards along the way.

🎧 If you're leading at the edge of what you know, this one's for you.
