In life sciences and healthcare, stepping into leadership isn't just about talent and hard work, it's about finding the right culture, the right advocates, and having the courage to raise your hand when no one's asking.
In this special International Women's Day episode, Eric Southwell sits down with four of Supreme Group's most senior women leaders — Nicky Battle (President, Supreme Communications), Liz Kanter (President & Executive Creative Director, Pivot Design), Shannon Carlson (President & Founder, C24), and Elizabeth Yi (Co-Founder, Broth) — for a candid, unfiltered conversation about career growth, mentorship, and what it really takes to lead.
They share the moments that shaped them: a mentor who delivered tough love, a sponsor who mentioned their name in rooms they weren't in, the decision to stop waiting for permission and start asking for a seat at the table. They also get real about the challenges, such as being talked over in meetings, the "mean girl" dynamic, and why too many organizations hand out titles without true authority.
If you're a woman in life science, pharma, biotech, medtech, or healthcare looking to grow into a leadership role — or if you lead an organization that wants to support them — this episode is for you.
What you'll learn in this episode
Why the culture you work in matters more than the title you hold, and when it's time to walk away
The critical difference between mentors and sponsors, and why you need both
How to stop waiting to be noticed and start inviting yourself to the table
What organizations need to do beyond assigning titles: real authority, intentional time, and passing the mic
Why leadership isn't just about managing people, it's how you show up in every small moment, every single day
How to tighten your story and project confidence, even when you don't have all the answers
Why standing up for yourself requires leading with facts, not emotion, and the importance of addressing conflict fast
