The Gilded Cage with guest Alessandra Wall

Let's explore how leadership can look successful on the outside while feeling limiting on the inside. In this episode with our guest, Alessandra Wall, a CEO and Founder, we unpack the gap between leadership expectations and reality, the tension between money and alignment, and why doing more doesn’t always lead to more influence or authority. The conversation also dives into why female leaders are often not fully heard, how bias (including AI bias) shows up in leadership language, and the balance between likability, authority, and word choice. We close with why focusing on what you do well and love matters, how misery quietly spreads through teams, and what slowing down and paying attention can unlock for leaders who want sustainable success.
