What does it take to succeed at the highest levels of leadership—while staying grounded in purpose? In this compelling replay episode of Women Leaders on the Move, Dr. Ronicka Briscoe, Founder of Winning on the Road LLC, shares lessons from her journey as an educator, scholar, and advocate for community change.
Dr. Briscoe’s story is one of deep self-awareness, intentional planning, and creating opportunities for others—especially young women. Whether you're navigating your current leadership role or preparing for what’s next, this conversation offers meaningful takeaways you can apply right away.
4 C-suite Strategies to Amplify Your Success
1. Build a Diverse Leadership Circle
Dr. Briscoe reminds us that leadership isn’t about going it alone. C-suite leaders often attribute their success to a trusted network of mentors, sponsors, and peers—people who challenge, support, and open doors. Your leadership circle matters.
2. Know and Use Your Strengths
One of the most powerful insights from this episode is the importance of identifying your innate strengths—and leaning into them fully. Dr. Briscoe encourages women to stop focusing on weaknesses and instead nurture what they do best. This clarity builds confidence and momentum.
3. Be Intentional About Life and Career Planning
Career success often intersects with life choices. Dr. Briscoe shares how early planning—whether it’s around timing for family or understanding your goals—can set the foundation for long-term success. It’s not about doing it all; it’s about doing what’s right for you.
4. Prioritize Mental Well-being
In her research and personal experience, Dr. Briscoe found that few senior leaders seek therapy or support, especially in communities of color. She calls for a cultural shift—normalizing conversations around mental health as a core part of leadership and self-care.
A Leadership Mindset Rooted in Purpose
Beyond these lessons, Dr. Briscoe speaks to the importance of creating lasting impact. Through her nonprofit work with the Legacy Foundation for Girls, she’s helping young women discover their potential early. It’s a powerful reminder that the future of leadership starts long before the boardroom.
