  • Be the C.E.O. of Your Career: Map and Launch Your Career Strategy with Susan Barber

    Be the C.E.O. of Your Career: Map and Launch Your Career Strategy with Susan Barber
    Sep 9 2026
    In this episode of the Be the CEO of Your Career summer series, Tammy Gooler Loeb explores the fourth practice in her framework: Map and Launch Your Career Strategy. Once professionals have connected with their values, explored possibilities, and found a direction that fits, the next challenge is turning that clarity into action. This means creating a real plan with steps and timelines, one that is grounded not only in aspirations but also in practical realities.Tammy brings the practice to life through her conversation with Susan Barber, a leading executive coach and former corporate executive. Susan spent more than two decades in leadership roles while navigating perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and a tendency to stay quiet rather than risk saying the wrong thing. Even while being recognized as a top talent, she didn't fully realize how her habit of staying in the background was affecting her career.That changed when Susan received difficult feedback that she wasn't visible enough. Initially, the message was painful and unsettling, but Susan chose not to ignore it. With the help of a business mentor, she reframed the feedback and recognized that speaking up wasn't simply about promoting herself. By withholding information, ideas, and the accomplishments of her team, she could unintentionally limit both her own impact and the ability of others to make informed decisions.Susan began preparing differently, speaking up more intentionally, and bringing her team into important conversations. Those changes transformed how she showed up as a leader and eventually became the foundation of her work around visibility. Later, when she made the decision to leave corporate leadership and build her own business, she approached the transition with an understanding of her actual circumstances, including the resources and support available to her.In This Week's Podcast, Learn More About:What it means to Map and Launch Your Career StrategyWhy career clarity must eventually turn into actionCreating a plan grounded in both goals and practical realitiesWhy readiness doesn't always feel like confidenceHow difficult feedback can become a catalyst for changeRecognizing when staying safe is keeping you hiddenThe difference between visibility and self-promotionWhy speaking up can benefit your team as well as your careerHow Susan reframed feedback into concrete actionPreparing in advance to show up with greater confidenceBuilding a career strategy around your actual resources and circumstancesWhy launching a plan requires more than quietly preparing behind the scenesHow becoming visible can create new opportunitiesLearn more:Read: The Visibility Factor: Breakthrough Your Fears, Stand In Your Own Power And Become The Authentic Leader You Were Meant To BeRead: Your Journey To Visibility Workbook: A Proven Action Plan to Achieve Career SuccessListen: The Visibility Factor podcastVisit: SusanMBarber.comLinkedIn: SusanBarberCoachingYour CEO of Your Career Move:Look at your career plan honestly.Is there a piece of it you've built quietly in a way that's still keeping you hidden?Maybe you've updated your résumé but haven't told anyone you're exploring new opportunities.Maybe you've created a website but haven't shared it.Maybe you've developed a skill but haven't shown anyone what you can do.Maybe you've decided what you want next but haven't had the conversation that could move you toward it.Pick one piece of your plan this week and put it somewhere it can be seen.A strategy doesn't become real simply because you've created it.At some point, you have to launch.Stay Connected:Connect with Tammy on LinkedInWork From The Inside Out WebsiteRead Tammy’s book: Work from the Inside OutSubscribe to Tammy’s newsletterSubscribe to YouTube: @tammygoolerloebBuy Me A Coffee to support the podcast

  • Be the C.E.O. of Your Career: Synthesize and Focus with Mira Brancu

    Be the C.E.O. of Your Career: Synthesize and Focus with Mira Brancu
    Aug 26 2026
    In this episode of the Be the CEO of Your Career summer series, Tammy Gooler Loeb explores the third practice in her framework: Synthesize and Focus. After a period of discovery, people will have gained new information, perspectives, and ideas, considering the possibilities and themes that emerge from them. Synthesize and Focus is the process of bringing those pieces together, finding patterns, and identifying a direction that aligns with their values, strengths, interests, and practical needs.In her conversation with Dr. Mira Brancu, founder and CEO of Towerscope, Tammy saw this practice come to life. Mira's career has included school counseling, clinical psychology, research, leadership, organizational development, and entrepreneurship. What initially appeared to be a series of unexpected turns eventually revealed a pattern. Mira consistently found herself drawn to examining processes and systems to improve how people work together while navigating complex environments, and helping leaders become more effective.An important moment came when Mira decided to consider a backup plan for her career. She made a list of everything she was good at, then removed items from the list that she didn't enjoy. Mira then examined the remaining list to identify items that met at the intersection between what she enjoyed, what had income earning potential, and what could address a meaningful need. That process led her to identify a focus on supporting women in leadership and helping people navigate complex organizations and workplace politics.Mira's story also demonstrates that synthesis doesn't necessarily mean choosing one thing and abandoning everything else. Her work with the Veterans Affairs Administration and her own business began feeding one another, allowing her to bring insights from one environment into the other. She also emphasizes the importance of building relationships throughout a career transition rather than trying to make every decision alone.In This Week's Podcast, Learn More About:What it means to Synthesize and FocusWhy career clarity often comes after a period of discoveryIdentifying patterns across seemingly unrelated career experiencesUnderstanding the intersection of strengths, interests, values, and needsWhy being good at something doesn't necessarily mean you'll enjoy itMira's journey from psychology into organizational developmentHow mentors can sometimes recognize strengths before we doThe value of understanding systems and complex environmentsHow Mira created a career "sweet spot"Balancing meaningful work with practical considerationsWhy career decisions don't have to be made in isolationHow relationships, mentors, coaches, and professional networks are vital to reinventionWhy synthesis can be useful at any career crossroadsLearn more:Visit: gotowerscope.comFollow Mira on LinkedInYour CEO of Your Career Move:Take everything you've been discovering lately and lay it out in front of you.That could include conversations you've had, ideas you've explored, skills you've identified, things you've enjoyed, possibilities you've considered, and even things that didn't work out.Then ask yourself three questions:What am I good at?What do I enjoy?What does the world need that I could contribute to?Look for the overlap or intersection.That intersection may reveal where your focus wants to go next. And if you're struggling to see the pattern on your own, take Mira's advice: don't sit with your thoughts and over-deliberate by yourself. Bring other people into the process. Find mentors, coaches, professional organizations, and people who have already navigated their own career transition.Stay Connected:Connect with Tammy on LinkedInWork From The Inside Out WebsiteRead Tammy’s book: Work from the Inside OutSubscribe to the newsletterSubscribe to YouTube: @tammygoolerloebBuy Me A Coffee to support the podcast
