With the election tomorrow, we’re standing on the edge of a potential milestone. But regardless of the outcome, women are already leading us forward in all areas of life. That’s why I sat down with Shuronda Robinson, a client of The Fractional XO and a dear friend, to have a raw, honest conversation on allyship—one that gets to the heart of what real support for women in leadership looks like.
Why now? Because allyship isn’t a checkbox; it’s about showing up with intention. If we’re serious about supporting women in leadership, we have to get clear on what that truly means. With years of friendship and trust, Shuronda and I took on some big questions:
* What does allyship for women leaders actually look like?
* How can men start recognizing and addressing their own biases?
* What are the “don’ts” for anyone committed to genuine allyship?
* And what’s Shuronda’s message to conservative men who may be hesitant?
For men, especially those in positions of power, this episode is an invitation to self-reflect. How are you showing up? How are you actively supporting women in leadership? And what role will you play as we move into this next chapter?
As mentioned in the conversation, Shuronda is hosting a 3-day live virtual event called “True to You: Women of Influence” on Nov 7 - 9. This program is specifically designed to help women step into powerful roles in their businesses and communities. Each day focuses on specific skills and tools to become a woman of influence.
