    56. Steph Smith Part 2: Respect, Reframing, & the Road Less Traveled

    Steph Smith’s PowerLane journey is grounded, curious, and quietly courageous. It’s a path of brave leaps, hands-on grit, and a rare gift for helping people truly hear one another. Thoughtful, warm, and refreshingly honest, Steph meets each unexpected turn with a learner’s heart and a builder’s resolve, and she reminds us that none of us belong in a box. In Part 2, we pick up in Belize with more eye-opening lessons in culture, power, and respect, including a beekeeper who speaks five languages (and speaks to the bees). We're along for an unexpected detour upon returning home, an adventurous leap into a new job in Alaska, and a soul-filling turn toward coaching and women’s empowerment.  Honest and reflective, this episode celebrates spreading your wings in any situation - and sometimes learning to fly once you're already in the air.  Episode Quote “We all have important types of knowledge. No matter what path you take, what you’re learning, it has a unique contribution to society, to the world. Everyone has something to offer, and it’s important.” – Steph Smith  LinkedIn:  @steph-smith-pmpSUBSCRIBE | PowerLane Podcast On Apple PodcastsOn SpotifyOn Google PodcastsOn Amazon MusicFIND | PowerLane Podcast At PowerLane.studio/podcastOn LinkedIn: @PowerLaneOn Instagram: @PowerLanePodcastFIND | Shirlayne Quayle Website: PowerLane.Studio: A Creative Legacy Studio for ShapersLinkedIn:  @ShirlayneQuayleAbout | PowerLane Podcast The PowerLane Podcast was created to inspire and empower people everywhere to move into and thrive within their unique PowerLane.

    55. Steph Smith Part 1: DIY Lessons & Leaving the Wrong Road

    Steph Smith’s PowerLane journey is grounded, curious, and quietly courageous. It’s a path of brave leaps, hands-on grit, and a rare gift for helping people truly hear one another. Thoughtful, warm, and refreshingly honest, Steph meets each unexpected turn with a learner’s heart and a builder’s resolve, and she reminds us that none of us belong in a box. In Part 1, we talk sandy loam and rebar, tears behind the psychology building, a cloud forest with no biologist in sight, and a mattress on the floor in rural Mexico. Woven through it all is an empowering moment of walking away from what isn’t right and discovering how much opens up when we do. Her story carries into Part 2 from Belize, where Steph finds her sweet spot bridging silos and bringing women into the room. Episode Quotes “I realized then, if I don’t like what’s happening, if I don’t like where I’m at, I have the power to make a choice, to say something, to do something, to reach out.” – Steph Smith LinkedIn:  @steph-smith-pmpSUBSCRIBE | PowerLane Podcast On Apple PodcastsOn SpotifyOn Google PodcastsOn Amazon MusicFIND | PowerLane Podcast At PowerLane.studio/podcastOn LinkedIn: @PowerLaneOn Instagram: @PowerLanePodcastFIND | Shirlayne Quayle Website: PowerLane.Studio: A Creative Legacy Studio for ShapersLinkedIn:  @ShirlayneQuayleAbout | PowerLane Podcast The PowerLane Podcast was created to inspire and empower people everywhere to move into and thrive within their unique PowerLane.

    53. Ginger Chinn Part 1: Small Decisions. Big Impact.

    Our conversation with Ginger Chinn brings great perspective how even ‘small’ decisions can change your trajectory.     We talk about asking for what you want, allyship across genders, and that it’s totally OK to realize what you DON’T care about so you can focus on what you do! Ginger shows up with polish and grace in whatever she takes on, including sharing her PowerLane story with us.   Learn more about Ginger in the links below and settle in for Part 1 of our conversation now.    Quote “I’m going to succeed because everyone is telling me I’m crazy.” - Ginger Chinn __________________________________________________________________________________ FIND | Ginger Chinn ·      Bio ·      On LinkedIn: @gingerchinn ·      On Instagram: @gchinn SUBSCRIBE | PowerLane Podcast On Apple PodcastsOn SpotifyOn Google PodcastsOn Amazon MusicFIND | PowerLane Podcast At PowerLane.studio/podcastOn LinkedIn: @PowerLaneOn Instagram: @PowerLanePodcastFIND | Shirlayne Quayle Website: PowerLane.Studio: A Creative Legacy Studio for ShapersLinkedIn:  @ShirlayneQuayleAbout | PowerLane Podcast The PowerLane Podcast was created to inspire and empower people everywhere to move into and thrive within their unique PowerLane.

    52. Dr. Susan Madsen Part 2: Leading with Head, Heart, & Hands

    We’re back for Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Susan Madsen. Picking up where we left off in Part 1, we continue exploring her journey to becoming a strong researcher, cultivating specific strengths and skills, and growing into her “Tap.” We touch on allyship, sponsorship, and giving specific feedback, and the importance of recognizing that when others trust and depend on you, they see you as a leader. Learn more about Dr. Madsen and her newest initiative, A Bolder Way Forward, in the links below.   Episode Quote “Everybody needs the strengths of women. I truly believe it is women in our own ways that are going to be the keepers of power in terms of changing nations, in terms of saving lives, in terms of fighting for peace.”  - Dr. Susan Madsen Learn more about Dr. Madsen and her newest initiative, A Bolder Way Forward, in the links below. _______________________________________________________ FIND | Dr. Susan Madsen BioOn LinkedIn: @susanrmadsen On Instagram: @susanrmadsen  @susanrmadsen Unleashing Sister Saints Podcast Utah Women and Leadership Podcasts A Bolder Way ForwardSUBSCRIBE | PowerLane Podcast On Apple PodcastsOn SpotifyOn Google PodcastsOn Amazon MusicFIND | PowerLane Podcast At PowerLane.studio/podcastOn LinkedIn: @PowerLaneOn Instagram: @PowerLanePodcastFIND | Shirlayne Quayle Website: PowerLane.Studio: A Creative Legacy Studio for ShapersLinkedIn:  @ShirlayneQuayleAbout | PowerLane Podcast The PowerLane Podcast was created to inspire and empower people everywhere to move into and thrive within their unique PowerLane.

    51. Dr. Susan Madsen - Part 1: Leading with Head, Heart, & Hands

    The journey of my friend, colleague, and mentor, Dr. Susan Madsen, in becoming an international scholar and movement-maker is full of wisdom and inspirational insights (and a mini-celebration of the benefits of double-knit!).   We learn how her childhood experiences and beliefs for the future helped shape her leadership style, and are inspired by her humble openness about both her strengths and her blind spots. She is seriously passionate about her work to move mountains for Utah’s women and girls -- and her honest reflection and willingness to tackle big issues might just light a fire in you, too! Part 1 Quote “I always knew I would get my education, but I never expected to work for pay. I just knew education would help me in any part of my life, including being a mother.” Learn more about Dr. Madsen and her newest initiative, A Bolder Way Forward, in the links below. _______________________________________________________ FIND | Dr. Susan Madsen BioOn LinkedIn: @susanrmadsen On Instagram: @susanrmadsen  @susanrmadsen Unleashing Sister Saints Podcast Utah Women and Leadership Podcasts A Bolder Way Forward_______________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE | PowerLane Podcast On Apple PodcastsOn SpotifyOn Google PodcastsOn Amazon MusicFIND | PowerLane Podcast At PowerLane.studio/podcastOn LinkedIn: @PowerLaneOn Instagram: @PowerLanePodcastFIND | Shirlayne Quayle Website: PowerLane.Studio: A Creative Legacy Studio for ShapersLinkedIn:  @ShirlayneQuayleAbout | PowerLane Podcast The PowerLane Podcast was created to inspire and empower people everywhere to move into and thrive within their unique PowerLane.

    49. Dr. Erin O'Brien Part 1: Paying it Forward in Career & Community

    The PowerLane Podcast is back after our brief break with an insightful conversation with Dr. Erin O’Brien. We talk with this grounded, articulate university professor about prioritizing education, the importance of making connections and living abroad, and how crafting a non-traditional career in academia has helped her design a PowerLane journey that allows her to focus on what’s most meaningful for her: teaching hard stuff, mentoring students, and paying it forward to help others find and shape their PowerLane.  Episode Quote “I’m glad that I did all of that moving because I did learn over the years to be more confident and to understand ultimately (it took a few moves) that most people feel that way when they are faced with that situation.” - Dr. Erin O'Brien …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….......
