E7: Sacred Spaces, Assumed Uncertainty, and the Art of Leading Others with Julie Reinganum

Welcome to Confessions of a Vistage Chair, a podcast by Talent Harbor, where we have real, behind-the-scenes conversations with Vistage Chairs. They share honest stories and practical insights on leadership growth, peer advisory groups, and what actually happens in Vistage meetings. Let’s pull back the curtain!

Julie Reinganum has lived one of the most unconventional paths I've ever heard of: from studying Chinese on a whim to landing at the UN during the early days of U.S.-China diplomatic relations, to leading AT&T's first international deal in China, selling her own consulting firm, and becoming a Vistage Chair. She didn't follow a plan. She followed her instincts.

In this episode, Julie gets honest about what it actually means to create a sacred space within a Vistage group and why planning with assumed uncertainty is the only strategy that works in today's environment. Tune in! You won't want to miss it.
