  • #232 The Rules Nobody Wrote Down - Your culture isn't on the wall. It's in the hallway.
    Oct 22 2026

    You can say your company values dignity, inclusion and growth, but your people believe what you tolerate, not what you frame. Through stories of leaders I've coached, this episode shows where culture quietly breaks down and what the organizations people actually choose do differently. If you are getting passed over, this report that I recently completed will show you why and what to do about it - 5 Reasons Capable Leaders Get Passed Over - And How to Be the Must-Have: https://www.maryleegannon.com/5-reasons-you-are-being-overlooked-and-how-to-fix-it-this-week-ececb0bf-b7e9-4599-aeca-13af8b749ca1

  • #231 Who Gets Promoted Is Being Decided Right Now – Your 100 Day Plan
    Oct 15 2026

    In many companies, the conversation about who moves up next takes shape in a room you're not in, built on a one-sentence impression of you that formed months ago. In this episode of The Still Space, I show how that shorthand gets written, why capable leaders get labeled "reliable" instead of "next," and the 100-day plan to change the sentence before the conversation happens. This isn't about working harder. It's about precision.

  • #230 The Resentment Trap: What It's Costing Your Presence, and the Happiness You Think You're Allowed
    Oct 8 2026

    You may be completely right about the promotion that went elsewhere or the idea someone else got credit for, or the fact that your partner is not being very supportive during a difficult time, and it may still be costing you more than the original loss. In this episode, I show how resentment erodes your executive presence, bends your decisions, and lands on the people closest to you, while capping the happiness you let yourself expect. Then I walk you through five moves to close the account.

  • #228 The Grief We Don’t Recognize
    Sep 24 2026

    We think grief is a horrible feeling we experience when someone close to us dies. I’ve learned it is far more than that and it resurfaces in the most unsuspecting places when we don’t know how to deal with it. In this episode I share some very personal stories about how that happened to me and what I did about it to move on.

  • #227 10 Ways to Stop Chasing Success and Start Feeling Satisfied
    Sep 17 2026

    I ran organizations worth 37 million dollars and know the corporate expectation of head down, deliver, get the result. Wait for the satisfaction to show up on the other side of it. And somewhere in there, I noticed the satisfaction wasn't showing up. It kept moving. It was always one level up, one more win, one more quarter away. I hit targets that used to feel unreachable and felt the same flat nothing I'd felt before I hit them. For a long time I assumed that meant I hadn't hit the right target yet. I just needed the next one. So I found the next one. And the flat nothing came with me. In this episode we talk about how to break that cycle.

  • #226 The Courage to Quit Chasing – Remembering What Was Always Yours
    Sep 10 2026

    Have you ever reached a point where you realized you were exhausted—not from the work itself, but from constantly trying to prove that the work mattered? You keep asking yourself "Why am I still proving myself after everything I've accomplished?" "Why does success feel heavier than I expected?" "Why am I searching for the next answer when I already know so much?" In this episode we unpack the treadmill to nowhere and how to get back to what was always there but hidden from plain sight behind the longing, and the striving, and the dissatisfied ache.

  • #225 Relevance Principle #4 - The Doorway In Is a Decision
    Sep 3 2026

    You are standing in your kitchen. Afternoon. An official notice is in your hand with the sheriff’s letterhead on it that you had just ripped off your front door, telling you, in official language, that the house is about to be taken. Nothing about your circumstances has changed in the last ten seconds. The marriage is still what it was. The money is still gone. The four kids in the next room are still arguing about a TV show, and the cat is still brushing against your leg like this is a completely ordinary Tuesday. And somewhere in that ten seconds, something in you stops waiting. Listen to this episode and see how I tuned my life around.
