Confidence Isn't Loud with Rhonda Travers

In this episode of Next to Nunn, Amy sits down with Rhonda Travers, a leadership development expert and former corporate auditor-turned-business owner, for a grounded conversation on leadership, identity, and building a business that actually reflects who you are. Rhonda shares her journey from a 30-year career in internal audit, risk, and compliance to launching her own consulting firm. What began as a career rooted in process and performance evolved into a deeper calling: helping organizations build environments where people stay, grow, and succeed. The conversation moves beyond surface-level entrepreneurship and gets into what many leaders quietly experience but rarely articulate: * The identity shift from corporate leader to business owner * The unexpected weight of wearing every hat in your business * The confidence gaps that show up when your expertise doesn’t cover marketing, content, or visibility * The importance of building what Rhonda calls a “success circle” to avoid isolation and burnout Here’s also a strong conversation around leadership development and assessments, and why organizations often underestimate their value until problems show up in performance, retention, and communication. One of the lines that stayed with me: You don’t realize how much your identity is tied to your role… until you step out of it.

Conflict is a Signal, Not a Problem with Amy K. Nunn

This is a practical conversation for leaders who are tired of repeated misunderstandings, unresolved tension, and team friction that never seems to go away. You’ll walk away with a clearer way to approach conflict, communicate with intention, and lead conversations that actually move things forward.
