Welcome to Shedding the Corporate Bitch® — where executive leadership gets brutally honest.
If you’re a mid-senior leader, CHRO, HR executive, or ambitious professional who’s done with surface-level advice and ready for the conversations that actually change how you lead, you just found your show.
Hosted by Bernadette Boas — executive coach, strategist, former Chief Knowledge Officer and Global Vice President, and unapologetic truth-teller. This podcast draws from 25 years inside corporate America, a career-defining firing for being labeled a tyrant boss, and over 15 years coaching leaders and teams across the globe. Bernadette doesn’t just understand the pressures you face. She’s lived them, failed through them, and built a proven path out.
Every episode cuts through the noise to tackle what’s actually happening in today’s organizations: toxic cultures, burned-out teams, leadership blind spots, talent retention crises, dysfunctional team, and the fear, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome that quietly sabotage even the most accomplished executives.
Bernadette is joined by world-class leaders, HR innovators, and organizational experts who bring real solutions, not theory.
This is the podcast for leaders who are ready to shed what’s holding them, their teams, and their organizations back.
