    <description>Wonder Woman had a lasso of truth, but host Vickie Rodgers has something even better: the unfiltered, raw experiences of 200 executive women who have navigated the path from high potential to the corner office.

The Lasso Effects cuts through corporate polish to reveal what actually happens behind closed doors when promotion decisions are made. Drawing on her years in senior operating roles, Vickie dismantles the myths holding ambitious leaders back—starting with the lie that you just need to "be ready" before you step up.

What You’ll Discover Each Episode:


  Real Truths from the Top: Unvarnished stories from women who broke through the steep Director-to-VP cliff.



  Lessons from the Trenches: The missteps, ditches, and hidden obstacles encountered along the way—and how to overcome them.



  Myth-Busting Strategies: The specific toxic corporate tropes you need to stop believing immediately to accelerate your career.




Being "ready" is a myth; bravery and pattern-breaking are real. Subscribe now and share The Lasso Effects with two or three ambitious women in your network who are ready to claim their seat at the table.</description>
