Podcast - Limor Bergman Gross - Executive & Leadership Coach for Women Tech Leaders

Welcome to ‘From a Woman to a Leader,’ a podcast dedicated to discussing women’s unique challenges in tech leadership and providing actionable tips to help overcome those challenges and grow your career in the tech industry.
In each episode, I will speak with successful women in tech who have navigated the industry and come out on top, sharing their stories, insights, and advice for other women looking to do the same.
Whether you’re just starting out in your tech career or a seasoned professional looking to take the next step, this podcast is for you.

You walk into a conference. You don't know anyone. Everyone seems to already be in clusters: laughing, exchanging cards, working the room.

And you're standing at the edge of it, wondering what's wrong with you.

For most of my career, that's how I felt.

In this solo follow-up to my conversation with Naama Nicotra, CEO of NakedPak, I'm naming the playbook Naama was running without calling it one, and the one I had to figure out for myself before I called myself a coach.

Spoiler: it's three moves. One drink. One person. One question.

In this episode:

The first big conference I ever went to (Java One 2001), and why I was terrified to walk into a single session alone
Why ”just put yourself out there” is the wrong instruction for introverts, and what actually works
The 1-on-1 superpower (and the paid speaking gig I got because of it)
What I told a client this week, who's scared her team will leave because she's not chatty enough
Why people actually leave their managers , and it has nothing to do with whether you're their best buddy

If you've ever stood at the edge of a room thinking something was wrong with you, this episode is for you.

Success Is the Journey, Not the Outcome (My Take on Failure and Rejection) 

You look at the people you admire, and you see the finished version. The company, the title, the stage, the applause. You almost never see the years of failure and rejection it took to get there. And quietly, you start measuring yourself against their outcome instead of your own journey. In this solo episode, I share my honest take on [...]

You Don’t Need a Technical Background to Build Something | Naama Nicotra, NakedPak

You look around at the founders, and at the people who keep getting ahead, and they all seem to have the technical background you don’t. The right unit in the army, the right degree, and a keyboard in their hand since they were kids. So somewhere along the way, you decided that building your own thing, or going after the [...]

Made for More: When the Career You Built Stops Fitting, with Rachel Spekman

You did everything right. You built the career, earned the title, took the speaking slot, and finally had the baby. From the outside, you reached the pinnacle.

By Default or By Design: My Personal Take on Personal Branding (Solo)

You're at a dinner party with people you've known for a year. They didn't know what you did for a living. When they find out, one of them looks at you and says: ”Wow. I didn't know you were so successful.” You should feel proud. Instead, you feel something else. Irritation. And it takes you a while to understand why. [...]

By Default or By Design: The Truth About Your Personal Brand with Chen Guter

You're great at your job. You've built skills, taken on hard projects, and delivered results year after year.

From the Fitness Industry to Tech Sales: How Emily Jackson Pivoted Without a Tech Background

You've been quietly wondering whether you're cut out for the role you actually want. Maybe you've told yourself you're not technical enough to work in tech. Or that you're not aggressive enough to be in sales. Or that you're not the right ”type” for the leadership role you keep watching other people get. So you've stayed where you are, even [...]

Who Are You Outside of Work? Rashidat Odeyemi on Dreaming Again When Work Has Eaten That Part of You

You've spent so many years working hard at the next thing that you can't actually answer a simple question. If you didn't have to worry about money, what would you do? Most of the women I coach freeze on that one. They've spent so long defining themselves by their job, their level, and their next promotion that they've forgotten what [...]

You Don’t Have to Know Everything to Lead — Bindu Sharma on Humility, Pivots, and Coming Back After a Break

You've spent your whole career making sure you're prepared. You read the book before the meeting, you learn the framework before you lead the project, and somewhere along the way, you start believing that the reason you're in the room is that you know more than the next person.
