S3, Ep. 8 | From Purpose to Power: Leading Authentically in Uncertain Times

What does it really take to lead with impact in a world full of change?

In this episode, Tamla Oates-Forney—change-maker, people-centered executive, and advocate for inclusive leadership—joins Susan MacKenty Brady for a candid conversation about leading from your Best Self, even in uncertain times.

Tamla shares how a personal health scare transformed her outlook, deepening her commitment to joy, purpose, and people. She opens up about how leaders can rediscover themselves, show up more authentically, and build workplaces rooted in empathy, trust, and belonging.

You’ll hear powerful reflections on:

• Why purpose, passion, and profession must align
• How vulnerability strengthens leadership (and teams)
• The traits leaders need to thrive in today’s evolving workplace
• Why women’s leadership is a business imperative—not a side initiative
• How to sustain your energy and legacy, one person at a time

Whether you’re facing a crossroads or just looking to lead with more heart, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to have all the answers—you just have to show up, stay grounded in your values, and bring others along for the journey.
