a podcast supporting your leadership journey
We all have the opportunity to show up as leaders in our lives - to maximize our positive impact on the world by becoming our best, fully authentic selves and supporting others in breaking past barriers and stepping into their greatness.
Join me as I interview incredible, inspirational leaders and leverage my personal experiences, stories, books, ideas, and insights to explore shared human experiences, helping us further understand ourselves and what it takes to stop telling ourselves stories that keep us safe and small.
Show up as a Leader is about supporting you on your leadership journey - regardless of your official title or role.

Show Up as a Leader helps you lead authentically, break barriers, and make a positive impact, no matter your role. Dr. Rosie Ward leverages experience, stories, books, ideas, and insights to help further our understanding of ourselves.
Leadership doesn’t become extraordinary in one giant leap. It happens one honest, intentional step at a time.
Rosie sits down with performance coach, leadership development expert, and speaker David Gorsage to unpack why “good to great” is no longer enough for today’s leaders. David shares how extraordinary leadership starts from within, by clearing out the “head trash,” closing the gap between who we want to be and how we actually show up, and strengthening the mindset that drives our behaviors.
From structured journaling and self-candidness to practical questions that help teams unlock their unique gifts, this episode is packed with tangible tools for people-first leaders who want to create more human workplaces. Tune in for a powerful reminder that becoming extraordinary starts with the next step right in front of you. ✨
