Be confident, be bold, be authentic, but don't forget to take action.

This is Ordinary to Badass, where our stories empower women to step into the spotlight of their own lives and pursue what they're truly passionate about.

It's time to step into the arena and become more than just extraordinary.

It's time to become a badass with your host, Marie Sonneman.

Welcome back to Ordinary to Badass.

Last week, we looked at four women whose careers gave us four very different lessons about influence, leverage, being underestimated, and why your work doesn't always speak for itself.

But those were only the first four.

Because what happens when you finally get in the room, but realize not everyone in the room has the same path forward what happens when someone else makes a decision about your career that you absolutely hate what happens when the opportunity is sitting right in front of you but you're scared that asking for more might make it disappear and how does some leaders seem incredibly decisive when everyone else is standing there thinking what the hell do we do now That's what we're getting into today.

And the four women that we are learning from couldn't be more different.

Maleva Merrick, Taylor Swift, Sheryl Sandberg, Harriet Tubman.

Four women, four completely different situations.

And four leadership lessons that have a hell of a lot to teach us about navigating your career, especially when simply working harder isn't enough.

Let's get into it.
