Summary
In this episode of Transforming 45, Lisa Boate sits down with leadership development expert Kaneshi Hart for a grounded, honest conversation about what leadership looks like in this season of life — when identity is shifting, energy is changing, and the old ways of pushing through no longer work. This episode is especially for women in midlife who are: stepping into new roles questioning how they’ve led in the past navigating menopause, burnout, or reinvention craving a more human, values-led way of leading Kaneshi shares why so many new leaders struggle — and how midlife can actually become a powerful reset point for leadership rooted in clarity, confidence, and self-trust. What You’ll Learn in this Episode Why 60% of new managers fail — and what midlife women can do differently How self-leadership becomes essential during times of transition Why traditional leadership models often fail women in midlife The role of values clarity when everything feels like it’s shifting How to rebuild confidence without forcing or performing Why vulnerability and accountability are leadership strengths How to lead with more humanity, not more hustle Why relationships and community matter more than ever How to give yourself grace while redefining who you are becoming Leadership in midlife isn’t about proving yourself. It’s about leading from truth, experience, and self-awareness — and allowing that to evolve as you do. This conversation is a reminder that: You’re not behind You’re not failing You’re in a season of redefinition And that’s where the most meaningful leadership begins.
