Episode 288
Tuesday, 17 February, 2026
Fractional leadership positioning is one of the most misunderstood — and most important — parts of building a successful fractional career. In this episode Toni breaks down why so many senior women struggle to gain traction in fractional roles, how positioning differs from full-time leadership, and what it really means to be hired for judgement rather than execution. Here's what you'll learn in this episode ⏹ Why experience alone doesn't translate into fractional opportunities ⏹ The difference between employee positioning and fractional leadership positioning ⏹ Why fractional leaders are hired for judgement, not capacity ⏹ The most common positioning mistakes that keep leaders invisible ⏹ How to pressure-test your own positioning without "selling yourself" ⏹ What comes next if you want to move from interest to paid fractional work What's coming next In next week's episode, we'll go one step further and explore how fractional leaders actually get hired — what genuinely leads to opportunities, and what doesn't.
