You're performing in what you once dreamed. The thing you built to free you has become the thing you're trapped inside. You've built something real. A business that works. A reputation that precedes you. By every measure, you're succeeding. And something is wrong that you can't quite name. You've tried the frameworks. You've bought the courses. You've followed the gurus. And on some level you know that none of it is going to give you what you're actually looking for, because what you're actually looking for is yourself. This is The CEO Sage—a podcast for the woman who is ready to stop looking outside herself for the answer. Kris Plachy doesn't offer you recipes or tactics or the \"real way\" to scale your business. She offers you something more rare: permission to listen to what you already know. In intimate, unflinching conversations, she names the truths you've been waiting to hear aloud. That your wisdom matters more than the strategy. That your self-trust is the asset worth protecting. That what feels like failure might actually be an invitation to something better. If you've achieved the success everyone told you to want and di…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T20:19:46.709901+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ceo-sage-formerly-leadership-is-feminine-320766"},"episode":{"title":"In Pursuit of Greatness","slug":"in-pursuit-of-greatness","published_at":"2026-07-13T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ceo-sage-formerly-leadership-is-feminine-320766/in-pursuit-of-greatness","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ceo-sage-formerly-leadership-is-feminine-320766","url":"https://www.thevisionary.ceo/blog/in-pursuit-of-greatness","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/leadershipcoach/2026-07-13_Episode.mp3?dest-id=234856","summary":"What if admitting you want more isn't selfish? What if it's actually the point? Kris has been thinking about greatness. Not achievement. Not goals. Greatness. And she's noticing that most women don't think of themselves as being in pursuit of it. They think of themselves as trying to achieve goals or make something happen. But not as women pursuing greatness. She's wondering what would shift if you actually claimed that. The women she works with know there's more to pursue, more to experience, more to become. And that hunger doesn't turn off. It doesn't take a break. It doesn't have an off button. Which means if it's not well-directed, it has consequences. In this episode, Kris is asking you to get honest about where you're still pursuing something. Not in a frantic way. In an expansive, invigorating, curious way. What you'll learn: What happens when your pursuit of greatness isn't directed How your superpower can become your poison if it's not directed What happens when you acknowledge that you want to be great Where greatness might be calling to you that you haven't named yet How to know if you're pursuing something real or something that isn't aligned About two opportunities opening up if you're ready to pursue your next level The question she leaves you with is simple.
