    When Leaders Decide to Listen: Amy Gurske on Feedback, Belonging, and Better Workplaces

    In this episode of SHE DECIDES, host Staci Swiderski sits down with Amy Gurske, founder of SayHii, a real-time employee feedback and insight platform designed to help leaders truly understand what’s happening inside their organizations.  Amy shares why listening can no longer be an annual exercise or a surface-level survey. Through SayHii, she’s helping leaders access actionable, day-to-day insights into employee experience and organizational health, giving them the opportunity to address disengagement, burnout, workload imbalance, lack of clarity, and belonging before they turn into larger systemic issues.  Together, Staci and Amy explore what it means to lead with awareness, how culture can quietly erode when feedback is ignored, and why creating space for honest input builds stronger, healthier teams. Amy also opens up about the responsibility leaders carry, the courage it takes to really listen, and how data, when used with intention, can humanize the workplace rather than distance it.  This episode is a powerful reminder that the strongest organizations aren’t built on assumptions, they’re built on trust, transparency, and listening in real time.  Because when she decides to listen, everything changes.  Connect with Amy Gurske & SayHii Website: https://www.sayhii.io/visionandvalues  LinkedIn (Amy Gurske): https://www.linkedin.com/in/amygurske/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sayhiieveryday/?hl=en

    Joyful Ambition: Bianca B. King on Resilience, Wealth, and Redefining Success

    In this episode of SHE DECIDES, Staci Swiderski sits down with Bianca B. King, President and Creative Director of Seven5 Seven3 Marketing Group and Founder of Pretty Damn Ambitious®.  Bianca’s journey is one of grit, courage, and intentional reinvention. She shares how leaving home at just 13 years old shaped her independence, resilience, and belief that life could be different. After building a successful career in commercial real estate and helping close over $1.4B in transactions, Bianca made the bold decision to walk away from corporate life and start her marketing agency during the Great Recession with just $700.  Seventeen years later, that decision has helped generate more than $280M in client revenue, but Bianca is clear, financial success alone was never the goal. In this conversation, she opens up about burnout, the pressure to perform, and the moment she realized ambition without joy was no longer sustainable.  Staci and Bianca explore what it means to redefine success on your own terms, why discomfort is the price of growth, and how Bianca’s Joyful Ambition™ framework helps women build profitable businesses without sacrificing fulfillment, identity, or values. From the pivotal moments that nearly ended her business to the mentors, mindset shifts, and identity reps that kept her going, Bianca shares lessons every ambitious woman needs to hear.  This episode is honest, empowering, and deeply human, a reminder that success doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s, and joy is not a reward at the end of the journey, it’s the foundation.  Because when she decides to define success for herself, everything changes.  Connect with Bianca B.

    In this powerful episode of SHE DECIDES, host Staci Swiderski sits down with Tissa Richards, founder, CEO, TEDx speaker, author, and former tech founder turned leadership strategist, for a deeply honest conversation about identity, resilience, and choosing alignment over burnout.  Tissa shares her journey from the fast-paced world of Silicon Valley startups to walking away from a career that no longer served her, even when the stakes were high. She opens up about the emotional and financial realities of shutting down a company, losing everything, and rebuilding with integrity, clarity, and purpose.  Together, Staci and Tissa explore what it means to pivot without apology, how to define success beyond titles and revenue, and why knowing your values before things fall apart is the ultimate form of self-advocacy. The conversation dives into leadership under pressure, resilience as a proactive muscle, the power of saying “I’m known for…,” and why women must stop overexplaining their worth.  This episode is both grounding and energizing, filled with practical wisdom, humor, and real talk for anyone standing at a crossroads, questioning what’s next, or learning to trust their own voice.  Because when she decides she doesn’t need permission to choose herself, everything changes.   Connect with Tissa Richards  Website: TissaRichards.com  LinkedIn: Tissa Richards  Instagram: @tissarichards
