  • Are You Using Your Feminine Leadership for Good
    Sep 23 2025

    Are you ready to redefine what leadership looks like in the modern workplace? In this episode of Superheroes in Heels, host Kimberley Borgens invites women everywhere to step into their authentic power and command presence, not by imitating old paradigms, but by embracing the unique strengths that come with feminine leadership.

    Kimberley unpacks the history of leadership models and challenges the notion that success comes only through traditional, top-down approaches. Instead, she champions a new era—one where empathy, collaboration, and intuition are recognized as pillars of sustainable success. Through personal reflections, tactical negotiation strategies, and real-world examples from trailblazing women like Indra Nooyi, Mary Barra, and Whitney Wolfe Herd, listeners will learn how to advocate for themselves, build bridges instead of walls, and celebrate the superpowers that make them exceptional leaders.

    This episode offers practical exercises to help you recognize and lean into your authentic leadership qualities, command any room with confidence, and turn everyday wins into a foundation for lasting impact. Kimberley’s weekly Superhero Challenge invites you to lead with presence, whether at work, networking, or at home—proving that leadership isn’t about playing by someone else’s rules, but rewriting them as your own.

    Whether you’re tuning in for inspiration, actionable tips, or the stories of women who dared to lead differently, this episode will empower you to own your narrative, elevate your presence, and become the leader the world needs—heels, sneakers, or otherwise.

  • Unintended Lessons Make Great Rewards
    Sep 9 2025

    In this compelling episode, we dive into the transformative power of coaching for entrepreneurs and business owners facing overwhelming financial obstacles. Listen as we share the real-life journeys of two clients whose lives were dramatically changed through guidance, accountability, and unwavering support.

    First, we recount the story of a client burdened by deep shame and guilt, who hesitated to ask for help when her business finances spiraled out of control. Behind on her bookkeeping and unable to pay state and federal taxes, she felt trapped, until coaching provided her with clarity and a trusted process to catch up on her books and settle her tax obligations. With strategic connections, including an offer-in-compromise attorney, she found the confidence and resources to work with the IRS and resolve the business’s back taxes.

    Next, we highlight a second client’s remarkable journey: determined to break free from the weight of $60,000 in credit card debt, she embraced challenging but necessary steps. The ripple effect of her hard-won financial independence became clear when she faced an unexpected $25,000 debt run-up and the shock of a divorce. Empowered by her coaching experience, she found the strength to protect her family, provide for her two sons, and step into her new life as a resilient single mother and capable business owner.

    Through these stories, we explore the essential role of confidence, courage, and stretching beyond comfort zones, revealing how personalized coaching can spark lasting change in both personal and professional spheres.

  • Can We Talk Titles - Are You Really The CEO
    Aug 26 2025

    Have you ever been questioned about your credibility as the leader of your company? For thirty-three years, I’ve devoted my life to building and leading my private security business, not from the sidelines, but from the heart of the action. On this episode, I confront the question that’s been asked of me in boardrooms, conversations and on application forms: “Are you a CEO in designation only?” The answer is simple - absolutely not!

    I am an architect and the engine behind every facet of my company. I process payroll, oversee my management team, write policies, create systems, manage finances, and personally train the leaders who help our business thrive. My work is not symbolic; it’s substantive. I did not inherit a title nor step into a ready-made role. I built this business from the ground up with my partner walking alongside me and have steered its course, day after day, year after year.

    As a woman CEO and owner, I’ve faced skepticism about my involvement, especially when seeking the minority-owned business designation. But let me be clear: my leadership is woven into the very fabric of this company’s success. I may not be the constant face of the business, (that’s what I have a partner for) but I am the heart that leads this business forward. This episode is a testament to the grit, sweat, and unwavering commitment it takes to lead—not as a figurehead, but as a hands-on, strategic force. If you’ve ever wondered about what it truly means to be a CEO, listen in for a candid, passionate perspective on embodying the role and shattering stereotypes in business ownership.
