Shannon Huffman Polson knows about grit. A native of Alaska, at age nineteen she became the youngest woman ever to climb Mt. McKinley and went on to summit Mt. Rainier and Mt. Kilimanjaro. After graduating college, she entered the military, becoming one of the first women to fly the Apache attack helicopter in the US Army. She led two flight platoons and a line company, serving on three continents before joining the corporate world.
However, time and again, she had to harness her own inner strength to overcome adversity and attain her goals. It wasn’t until leaving the Army that Polson realized the benefit of her experience and those of others. So, she began collecting candid stories of combat and career from trailblazing military women. In THE GRIT FACTOR: Courage, Resilience, and Leadership in the Most Male-Dominated Organization in the World (September 8, 2020) Polson tells their tales, detailing how they overcame adversity, and sharing how others can learn from their experiences.

This cast of characters includes Heather Penney, one of the first female F-16 pilots; General Ann Dunwoody, first female four-star general in the Army; Marine Commander Amy McGrath, first woman to fly the F/A-18 in combat - and dozens of other unstoppable women who got there first; including Polson. These women learned to lead at the highest levels in the most complicated, challenging, male-dominated organization in the world.
While some focus on passion and perseverance, to Polson, grit is a skill; one that can be taught to help people overcome fear, break through uncertainty, and reach their full potential. In addition to relating insights from these remarkable women, she shares tactical exercises in the book to help people grow their grit through three phases - Commit, Learn, and Launch.

Meet Denice Torres | Fortune 50 Senior Executive – Founder of The Mentoring Place - Author – Keynote Speaker

Denice grew up in a lower-middle-class family in Gary, Indiana where she worked as a janitor in a steel mill to save money for college. As a Hispanic, Polish, gay woman from humble
beginnings and a wicked sense of humor, she didn’t exactly fit the mold of a corporate
executive. Driven by equal parts ambition and fear, she began her career practicing law (for the longest year of her life) and eventually joined a large, Midwest pharmaceutical company where she worked her way up the ranks of management.

Denice later joined Johnson & Johnson, one of the largest healthcare companies in the world where she was president of multi-billion-dollar companies in pharmaceutical and consumer sectors. Most notably, she was responsible for leading the successful turnaround of the company that makes Tylenol when products were removed from store shelves due to quality challenges.

Denice’s rise to executive leadership was filled with ups and downs and fueled by what she
refers to as an “asses on fire” mentality to keep going. She has received many awards such as Healthcare Businesswoman of the Year, Mother of the Year at J&J/Working Mother, Diversity Champion of the Year, and has featured in Latina Style, WorkingWomen and other publications.She has also served as a keynote speaker for many Fortune 500 companies on the topics of leadership, change management, and women’s empowerment.

In 2019 Denice founded The Mentoring Place, an online platform for helping women navigate their careers through real-world, no BS insights and guidance. In a matter of weeks, thousands of women signed up for her bi-monthly live streams. In 2020, Denice is launching her first book, “Flip the Tortilla and Other Lessons in Resilience, Optimism, and Mojo.” In October, “Flip the Tortilla, a weekly podcast about women, careers, courage, and resilience – mixed with humor and some irreverence – will be available on all major podcast platforms.

Denice doesn’t believe women should send the elevator down when they get to the top. Instead, she says women should go back and lead other women by the hand - through the muck and uncertainty– to help them achieve their goals.

Denice lives in New Hope, Pennsylvania with her wife, Kim, and their 19-year-old daughter,
Sierra, who was born with cerebral palsy. Sierra has taught Denice incredible life lessons that she happily shares in all her interactions.

Tap, tap, tap... anyone still listening? 

Yes... we know we've been gone for awhile. So, what was the deal? Tune into today's episode where Heather Simpson shares an intimate journey that has consumed her life for the past year. This episode is filled with vulnerability and life lessons that Heather has taken away during this challenging season of life.

We are excited to be back and present you with our podcast reboot! We have many exciting interviews and episodes ahead for you. We are grateful to be here. 

Another episode with Heather Simpson and Mari Wuellner with some much needed topics of conversation coming your way.

Heather and Mari get vulnerable and real on today's show, speaking about playing the victim in life and tapping into our emotional power. 

Be sure to write into the show! We want to hear your take, input and future topics of discussion. Email askheather@sheleadsme.com 

As women, we often become the masters of pulling things together at the last minute, of stepping in on others behalf, and of "figuring it out" when it comes to so many things in our life. 

We have entered into an era where DIY becomes the norm. Where we feel like we have to be Wonder Woman, and get it all done, on our own. 

But when do we make the shift to rely on others? To seek out professional resources? To start leveraging ourselves, instead of being leveraged by others? 

Heather Simpson walks you through her 7 steps to determine if you need to cut out the DIY, and start to get some help! 

Tonya Eberhart is the founder of BrandFace® and Branding Agent to Business Stars. She’s also the author of four books on personal branding. 

Tonya’s humble career began while selling vacuum cleaners door to door to pay her way through college.  That led to a job in radio, where she observed local business owners who were featured in their own advertising and positioned as local celebrities in the market. That’s when she realized the power that personal branding has on a business.

Almost two decades and many successful brands later, she founded BrandFace®, a personal branding firm comprised of a book series, speaking series, and personal branding program that is designed to help business owners & entrepreneurs differentiate themselves. 

Join Heather Simpson and Tonya in this interview on the She Leads Me Podcast.

She brings us new perspective on some old ways of thinking. She speaks to the importance of a solid support system and how she found that in some of her hardest transitions.

Heather and Jennifer also get real and calling out what we see on social media... the ever popular "dumping" or "venting" tool. They discuss the difference between that and also sharing from an effective and vulnerable place.
