140. Intentional Leadership in Uncertain Times with Ilhiana Rojas

Aug 11, 2025

Ilhiana Rojas is a bestselling author, an executive coach and strategist with over 20 years of executive experience leading in Fortune 500 companies like P&G, Hasbro, and Hanesbrands and coaching professionals and businesses to success. 

As the founder of BeLIVE Coaching & Consulting and Co-President of UNITED LATINAS, Ilhiana is a certified expert in leadership and DEI best practices that help build resilient, collaborative, and high-performing leaders and cultures. She brings a grounded, real-world perspective to leadership, self-advocacy, and navigating change—and in this episode, she’s back on the podcast to help us meet this moment.

Right now, so many of us are feeling stretched thin—emotionally, mentally, professionally. The world feels heavy. Work feels nonstop. And showing up with intention can feel harder than ever.

In this episode, Ilhiana and I talk about:
🔹 Why emotional intelligence and engagement are dropping—and what we can do about it
🔹 How to advocate for ourselves in ways that feel real, not performative
🔹 The tension between humility and visibility (especially in communities of color)
🔹 How to take back control of our narrative
🔹 Practical ways to lead, speak up, and hold space for others—even when things feel hard

Whether you’re managing a team or managing your own energy, this conversation offers powerful reminders that how we show up—intentionally and courageously—can shift everything.
