Why does leadership get harder as you become more senior?
Why isn’t experience enough anymore? And why does influence start to matter more than capability at this level?

In this episode, Liz Boswell explores how trust is shaped through everyday behaviour rather than titles or expertise.

Drawing on a real senior leadership example, she looks at how small moments (like how you listen, pause, respond, and follow up) compound over time and quietly shape reputation.

This is a calm, mentoring-style conversation about the difference between people pleasing and being someone people can work with.

We compare how trust functions like a long-term investment, and how senior leaders often underestimate the impact of the basics.

This episode is for you if you're figuring out how to be authentic in a more senior position.

Making Bold Moves is a podcast for people who are capable, thoughtful, and quietly questioning how they’re showing up at work and in life.

I’m Liz Boswell. I work with leaders and professionals who don’t need more advice, but do need space to think clearly, especially when the pressure is on.

Each episode is a calm, mentoring-style conversation grounded in real client moments. We look at the stories people carry, the behaviours those stories create, and the small, practical shifts that change how things land day to day.

You’ll hear honest reflections, psychologically precise questions, and simple actions you can try immediately, without overhauling your life or becoming someone else.

If you’re stepping into more responsibility, more visibility, or simply feeling the weight of decisions that matter, this podcast is here to help you slow things down, think more clearly, and move forward in a way that feels grounded and real.

A quiet companion for people who want to make better moves, not louder ones.

If asking for what you want feels uncomfortable or risky, this episode is for you.

Many capable leaders hold back because they worry about how they’ll be perceived.

In this episode, Liz explores why indirect communication often shows up as frustration, self-doubt, or disappointment later on.

Using a real client example, she looks at what’s really happening when people hint instead of ask, and how that quietly affects authority and trust.

You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of what stops you from asking directly, and how to speak up in a way that feels grounded, honest, and aligned with who you are.

Especially useful if you want progress and fairness, but notice yourself holding back in conversations that matter.

If you know what you want to say but hesitate to speak up, this episode is for you. Being heard in meetings isn’t about confidence or volume, it's about behaviour.

In this episode, Liz explores why capable people hold back even when they have something valuable to contribute, and how that hesitation quietly affects visibility and authority over time.

You’ll understand what gets in the way of using your voice and how to start speaking up in a way that feels natural, grounded, and true to you without forcing yourself to be louder or more assertive.

Especially useful if you’re stepping into leadership, taking on more responsibility, or noticing that your ideas aren’t being taken seriously.
