Redefining Leadership on Your Own Terms - Alison Goldie

What happens when you stop following the script and start writing your own?In this episode of Birth 2 Boardroom, host Deb Kowalski and co-host Natalie sit down with the remarkable Alison Goldie — a leader, connector, and self-described career rule-breaker who swapped the classroom for the boardroom and never looked back.Alison's journey from secondary school teacher to senior IT sales leader is anything but conventional. She was often the only woman in the room, navigating a male-dominated industry with authenticity, humor, and an unshakable belief in herself. And it paid off — in more ways than one.In this episode, we cover:Why Alison left teaching and said yes to an industry she knew nothing aboutThe sideways move that saved a failing multimillion-pound contract — and lasted four yearsHow she walked into a high-stakes pitch and won with four words: "We are pure dead brilliant"Why the corporate ladder is a male construct — and what to do insteadOvercoming the fear of judgment and learning to let go of what you can't controlHer love note to her former self (and why she's always been proud of her)The D:Ream song that carried her through one of the hardest moments of her lifeAlison's motto for life and leadership:"There are two things in life — things you can control, and things you can't. You'd be mad not to control the things you can and completely ignore the things you can't."Whether you're navigating a career pivot, fighting for your seat at the table, or just trying to lead with more heart — this episode is for you.🔔 Subscribe for weekly conversations with women who lead boldly, creatively, and on their own terms.🌐 Visit us at www.birth2boardroom.com💬 Join the conversation and share this episode with a woman who needs to hear it.Chapters:00:00 – Welcome to Birth 2 Boardroom02:00 – Introducing Alison Goldie04:00 – From teaching to tech: Alison's unconventional start10:00 – Leading as the only woman in the room18:00 – The sideways move that changed everything28:00 – Love note to her former self32:00 – Humor, creativity, and "Pure Dead Brilliant"40:00 – Overcoming fear of judgment44:00 – Resilience in the face of uncertainty48:00 – Control what you can50:00 – Song of the journey: Things Can Only Get Better#Birth2Boardroom #WomenInLeadership #AlisonGoldie #LeadershipPodcast #WomenInTech #Podcast #AuthenticLeadership #CareerAdvice #WomenEmpowerment #ControlWhatYouCan #PureDeadBrilliant #Consulting #RedefiningSuccess
