   110. Power Reimagined (feat. Khadijah Sharif-Drinkard)

   pisode 110: Power Reimagined (feat. Khadijah Sharif-Drinkard) | The Career Clinic Podcast Host: Ronnie Dickerson Stewart Episode Overview What if power wasn't something you grab, hoard, or perform — but something you share, redistribute, and reimagine? In this episode, Ronnie sits down with Khadijah Sharif-Drinkard, author of Power Reimagined: My Mission to Get It, Grow It, and Give It Away (Harvard Business Review Press). Part memoir, part masterclass, part free game — Khadijah walks Ronnie through the framework at the heart of her book and gets honest about audacity, paygate, partnership, and what it actually takes to lead with integrity in rooms that weren't built for you. If you're rethinking your influence, your voice, or your seat at the table, this one is for you. In this episode, you'll hear: How Khadijah's earliest experiences with power became the foundation for the way she leads today The Power Sources vs. Power Sucks framework, and how to spot both in your own life Paygate: how a celebratory lunch turned into a pay equity movement Why partnership power starts with the partner you can't get rid of — yourself The difference between rising in the room, changing the room, and building a brand new one Get Power Reimagined Available now wherever books are sold: Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/power-reimagined-khadijah-sharif-drinkard/1147832517?ean=9798892791045 Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Reimagined-Mission-Grow-Give/dp/B0FHPNPRMX Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/p/books/power-reimagined-my-mission-to-get-it-grow-it-and-give-it-away-khadijah-sharif-drinkard/3ad54274164f2e3e?ean=9798892791045 About Our Guest Khadijah Sharif-Drinkard is the author of Power Reimagined (Harvard Business Review Press) and Senior Vice President of Business Affairs at ABC News (Disney), where she oversees digital strategy, rights, and deal-making across the network.

   108. More Nuance, Less Noise: This One's for the Mamas (feat. Roo Yeshpaul Johnson)

   Episode 108: More Nuance, Less Noise: This One's for the Mamas (feat. Roo Yeshpaul Johnson) | The Career Clinic Podcast Host: Ronnie Dickerson Stewart Episode Overview This one is for the mamas. In the next installment of the More Nuance, Less Noise series, Ronnie Dickerson Stewart and Roo Yeshpaul Johnson hand out flowers, talk their ish on behalf of every mom listening, and reframe motherhood as one of the most underrated leadership accelerators on the planet. This is not a guilt trip or a balancing act. It's a celebration of the mother advantage: the way becoming a parent expands your capacity, sharpens your decisiveness, levels up your boundaries, and changes the entire filter through which you see your work and your life. Ronnie and Roo go all the way in on what motherhood actually unlocks, who they listen to (and who they don't), and what they wish for every mama in the audience. Bring tissues. We mean it. What You'll Learn: What "the mother advantage" actually is and why becoming a parent changes your filter for everything Why moms make some of the most decisive, efficient, and audacious leaders in any room How motherhood sharpens your boundaries, your negotiation skills, and your ability to lead through uncertainty Why "if you want something done, ask a mom" is true, and where the line is on letting people take advantage of that How to filter advice through a mom lens, and why not all wisdom is for you The Seva principle Roo grew up with, and what selfless sacrifice for yourself can look like in practice A bouquet of flowers for every kind of mom, including the ones still in the waiting, the ones mothering through grief, and the ones listening with one earbud in Pre-Order Work Life Remix Ronnie's debut book, Work Life Remix: Keep What Works, Change What Doesn't, and Design a Life That Fits, will be available in stores September 15th.

Published 11 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] But then when we apply to college, we know all the stuff about it. We research the colleges like crazy. We're visiting campuses. We go for job interviews. We try to figure out everything we know about the job. We talk to the people who work at the job, who has a friend of a friend of a friend. You know, but we don't do that in our personal lives. I think that one of the most important things that we can do that will determine our success in life is the partners that we choose. The husband or the wives or the people that we choose to be with. So I wanted to be set up for success. So I needed to make sure I didn't have the same experience that my mama had, too, by the way. […]
