## Resource

In this episode, Olivia sits down with powerhouse client Melissa Hansel, former law firm COO and now founder of Outlook Advisory.

If you have deep experience, feel called to more, or you are a C suite leader questioning your next chapter, this conversation will expand what you think is possible. You will hear how Melissa: • Turned extra projects into executive visibility • Navigated layoffs, bias, and being told she was “too ambitious” • Shifted from employee to business of one • Uses the fractional model to create freedom, family time, and bigger impact Watch this if you are ready to see yourself as the premium product and design a path that actually fits your life. Subscribe for more real conversations on evolving your career, building your brand as a leader, and winning in this market.
