Grit, Grace & Glitz with Erika Rothenberger

The Grit To Say No (When You Can't Stop Saying Yes) with Kathy Miller

Erika Rothenberger

Kathy Miller - author of Steel Toes and Stilettos, A True Story of Women Manufacturing Leaders and Lean Transformation Success - joins us for an informative conversation this week!

Kathy launched her career in Operations as a 17 year old co-op student at a vehicle assembly plant, and progressed through engineering, marketing, lean and operations leadership roles, working for four large publicly traded corporations in executive roles.  Her experience in saying yes, saying no, and being heard shine through in this episode.

One of the biggest take aways you'll leave with is "If you're saying yes to everything, you are saying no to some things - but you're just saying no by default instead of on purpose." Words of wisdom!

Erika and Kathy bring the goods on juggling intense, fulfilling careers, being the only women in the boardroom at times - alongside managing life's other demands as moms and spouses, and making it all work.
