Episode notes
You don’t have to be the loudest person in the room to be a powerful leader.
In this episode of Lena Speaks, Lena Morris sits down with Melissa Sprigler, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at One Southern Indiana, for a candid conversation about leadership confidence, career growth, finding your voice, accountability, boundaries, mentorship, and stepping into opportunities before you feel completely ready.
Melissa shares her journey from being a stay-at-home mom to returning to the workforce, growing from Director to Vice President, and learning that leadership is less about having all the answers and more about how you show up.
Together, Lena and Melissa explore what it means to lead with authenticity, speak up without becoming the loudest person in the room, learn from mistakes, develop others without creating dependency, and build confidence through action.
They also discuss the importance of family support, work-life integration, difficult conversations, intentional growth, and recognizing that people are often watching how you lead long before you realize it.
If you are an emerging leader, woman in leadership, manager, executive, or professional working to grow your influence and confidence, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about what powerful leadership really looks like.
