From her start in finance to global leadership roles at GE and Hubbell, Shontra reveals the mindset that helped her build credibility and open doors throughout her journey. Her philosophy is simple yet powerful:

“Know the job, make the main thing the main thing, and the rest will build an incredible reputation and open doors you didn’t even know you wanted to knock on.” — Shontra Powell

This episode is filled with wisdom for women navigating leadership transitions, preparing for board service, or simply ready to show up at a higher level every day.

3 Lessons from Shontra Powell

1. Show up ready, always. Preparation builds credibility and trust. Over-delivering means you’re dependable, consistent, and grounded in purpose.

2. Your career path doesn’t have to be straight. Every pivot adds perspective and resilience. Growth happens in the moments between certainty and change.

3. Clarity creates opportunity. When you know your “why” and articulate your impact, the right doors open—often faster than you expect.

Learn how showing up prepared and staying grounded in purpose can elevate your presence, strengthen your influence, and create lasting impact.
