    AI Has a Gender Bias Problem, and Your Resume Is Paying for It

    Executive Coaching in the AI Era Ep #8: AI Has a Gender Bias Problem, and Your Resume Is Paying for It Gender bias doesn't just show up in the boardroom — it's baked into the AI-driven tools deciding who gets seen and who gets scrolled past. Most women try to fix this by asking AI to "improve" their resume, and end up with generic, forgettable AI slop that reads like everyone else's. In this episode, I break down why bypassing the algorithm and speaking directly to human decision-makers matters more than optimizing for it, and why being a great manager isn't the same as demonstrating organizational leadership. You'll walk away with the exact prompts I use with clients to get AI to highlight real influence — not buzzwords — so your resume and LinkedIn actually reflect the leader you already are. Before you go — if you haven't subscribed to this podcast yet, do it now. And head over to stacymayer.com/youtube and subscribe to my YouTube channel while you're at it. If this episode hit home for you, share it. Post it to your LinkedIn. Send it to a colleague, a friend, anyone who needs to hear it. We are navigating this AI era together, and I don't take lightly the opportunity to be part of that journey with you. And if you're ready to stop navigating it alone — whether you've just been laid off or you're simply done white-knuckling your way through a chaotic landscape — I want to work with you personally.

    Nobody's Hiring. Everyone's Hiring. Here's Why

    Executive Coaching in the AI Era Ep. 7: Nobody's Hiring. Everyone's Hiring. Here's Why In this week's episode, I'm digging into the strange contradiction happening in hiring right now: mass layoffs and skyrocketing unemployment on one side, desperate talent shortages in tech and healthcare on the other. I'm talking through the rise of "AI cheating" in interviews (and why it's not the red flag you think it is), the real reasons leaders are defaulting to contractors over full-time hires, and what to watch out for before you make that call. I'm also sharing what to do when you're stuck in a hiring freeze but still need to build influence and prepare your team for growth. If you're building a team in this AI-era chaos — or you're the one job hunting in it — this episode gives you the clarity and strategy to move forward with confidence.

  3. Stop Knowing. Start Leading.

    Stop Knowing. Start Leading.

    Executive Coaching in the AI-Era Ep. 6: Stop knowing. Start leading. That's the shift I'm inviting you to make in this episode — and I'll be honest, it's one I'm still making myself. We're living in a moment where AI is moving faster than any of us can keep up with, and the instinct is to double down on expertise. Know more. Certify more. Prove more. But that strategy? It's running out of road. What I've seen in my work with senior leaders is that the executives who are actually thriving right now aren't the ones with all the answers. They're the ones who've gotten comfortable not having them — and built enough trust in themselves to lead anyway. In this episode, I'm talking about why letting go of the need to "know it all" isn't a weakness. It's the most powerful move you can make in an AI-driven world. We'll get into how to rebuild trust in your own judgment, why curiosity and relationship capital will outlast any expertise, and what it actually looks like to lead with confidence when everything around you is changing fast. You don't need more certifications. You need to stop waiting until you have all the answers — and start leading right now. Before you go — if you haven't subscribed to this podcast yet, do it now.

    The Only AI-Proof Career Move in Corporate

    Executive Coaching in the AI-Era Ep. 5: The Only AI-Proof Career Move in Corporate The only AI-proof career move isn't the one you think. While everyone's racing to out-skill the algorithms, I'm telling my clients something different: subject matter expertise — the thing you've spent your whole career building — is becoming replaceable. What's not replaceable is executive leadership. In this episode, I break down why leadership roles offer the real job security in the AI era, and what separates the leaders who thrive from the experts who get automated out. We get into the relational and political skills AI simply can't replicate — the trust-building, the influence, the ability to read a room and move a room. I'll also walk you through how to start shifting from a technical role into an influential one, with actionable steps for communicating, building trust, and leading at the next level. If you're wondering how to future-proof your career, this is where you start. Before you go — if you haven't subscribed to this podcast yet, do it now.

    The Cheat Code for Executive Credibility

    Executive Coaching in the AI Era Ep. #4: The Cheat Code for Executive Credibility Your executives don't know what you're doing — and that's on you. In this episode, I share the cheat code for building real executive credibility when AI is reshaping how companies operate and make decisions. We're talking about why speaking the language of your leadership matters, how to "show your work" instead of hiding behind confidence, and the difference between true executive presence and simply faking it. I also get into practical ways to celebrate your wins, communicate your impact, and align your work with company priorities — so you're seen as the leader who actually moves the business forward. If you're ready to stop being invisible to senior leadership and position yourself for bigger opportunities in the AI era, this one's for you.

    Bottling Your Mother with Mrs. Myers Clean Day Founder Monica Nassif

    Ep. #318: Bottling Your Mother with Mrs. Myers Clean Day Founder Monica Nassif In this episode of Women Changing Leadership, I sit down with Monica Nassif, the trailblazing founder behind Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day and Caldrea, to talk about what it really takes to build an iconic brand from the ground up. Monica shares her unconventional path to entrepreneurship, the lessons she learned growing up in a large family, and the grit required to challenge an entire industry. We discuss the realities of fundraising as a woman, navigating bias, building a brand rooted in authenticity, and why preparation, resilience, and betting on yourself matter more than waiting for permission. Whether you're leading a team, launching a business, or pursuing a bold vision of your own, Monica's story is a powerful reminder that some of the most successful leaders are the ones willing to trust themselves and do things differently.

    Hard Work Won't Save You in the AI Era

    Executive Coaching in the AI Era Ep. #3: Hard Work Won't Save You in the AI Era Hard work won't save you in the AI Era — and if you're still betting your career on output alone, we need to talk. In this episode, I'm making the case that promotions have never actually been about how much you produce. They've always been about relationship capital: the connections you've built across your executive team, the high-level conversations you're already in, and whether your ideas feel indispensable to the people making decisions. Yes, staying current with AI matters — for your relevance, for your edge, for your own fulfillment. But the leaders I see moving up aren't just the most technically fluent ones in the room. They're the ones who've made themselves impossible to overlook. If you're navigating leadership advancement in a rapidly changing corporate landscape, this episode will show you exactly how to build the strategic relationships that no algorithm can replace.

    The Currency That AI Can't Replace

    Executive Coaching in the AI Era Ep. #2: The Currency That AI Can't Replace In this episode, I'm diving into one of the most underrated career strategies out there — building relationship capital — and why it matters more right now than it ever has. Whether you're navigating layoffs, economic uncertainty, or the very real disruption AI is bringing to the workplace, the truth is that your network isn't just your net worth, it's your safety net. I'll walk you through exactly how to approach both internal and external career conversations in a way that feels genuine (not gross or transactional), introduce you to my signature 15-minute ally meeting process, and show you how a single intentional conversation can completely change the trajectory of your career. The goal isn't to make yourself indispensable — it's to make yourself promotable. And yes, there's a difference. Tune in if you're ready to stop waiting for the right place at the right time and start creating it. Before you go — if you haven't subscribed to this podcast yet, do it now.
