The path up isn't as straight as they told you — and honestly, it was never supposed to be. I'm Rebecca Callahan, a certified leadership and career coach and founder of The Inner Circle, a peer advisory board built specifically for women in the early and middle stages of their careers. Here I write about balancing career & life, building confidence, knowing when to zig or zag instead of climb, and why the old rules were never written with you in mind. Everything I share is grounded in nearly 30 years of corporate experience, research from women just like you, and the coaching conversations I have every day. Based in Denver, CO — writing for ambitious women everywhere
