  <title>284: Am I Ready to Be a Fractional Leader?</title>
  <description>If the idea of going fractional feels exciting and terrifying at the same time — you’re not alone. In this episode of Leading Women in Tech, we explore what fractional leadership really looks like for senior women who want more autonomy, impact, and alignment — without blowing up their careers. This episode is for you if: ◾You’re curious about fractional work but worried about legality, stability, or time ◾You’ve been asked to “advise” startups or former colleagues — informally and often unpaid ◾You want meaningful, senior-level work without the full-time corporate trap ◾You’re wondering if a portfolio or fractional career could be a smart next step Rather than hype or hustle culture, this conversation focuses on clarity. You’ll learn: ◾What fractional leadership actually is (and what it isn’t) ◾The three most common starting points women have when exploring fractional work ◾How to explore fractional leadership safely alongside a full-time role ◾The real fears women have — about contracts, confidence, pricing, and visibility — and how to address them ◾Why most fractional experiments fail (and how to avoid those mistakes) ◾How to test fractional work intentionally, without quitting or burning bridges This episode is not about deciding everything today. It’s about understanding what’s possible — so you can make your next move with confidence. 🎯 Next step: If this episode resonates and you’d like to talk through your own fractional career options, you can book a complimentary strategy session with me to design your own fractional career right here:  https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/64a6bd61/appointment/86825111/calendar/3066450?appointmentTypeIds[]=86825111 </description>
