The Impact List

After years in executive HR and Chief of Staff roles, Laurie Fainer kept seeing the same gap: the conversations that actually shape great leadership rarely happen in public.

They happen in moments of tension, clarity, doubt, and real responsibility. The Impact List brings those conversations forward.

Each episode features leaders who have influenced Laurie in a meaningful way — talking about the decisions they've made under pressure, the beliefs they've had to unlearn, and the practices that keep them grounded.

These aren't highlight-reel stories. They're honest conversations about what leadership looks like when no one is watching.

What you'll hear

• Leaders talking about decisions under pressure, beliefs they've unlearned, and what keeps them grounded while leading others .

When to tune in

Who this is for

•  If leadership has ever felt heavy, lonely, or like you're performing a version of yourself that doesn't fit - this is for you.
