What if leadership wasn’t about fitting in, but about pausing long enough to hear your own truth?
In this inaugural episode of Ascend with Claire Oliveros: Real Stories. Bold Leadership., I share my journey as a Filipina American with 30 years of higher education experience — including my pivot after becoming a mother at 40 — to creating a new path of leadership rooted in freedom, family, and authenticity.

We’ll talk about what it means to ascend while staying rooted, why I created the RISE UP Method (Reclaim, Ignite, Sustain, Excavate, Uplift, Progress), and how it connects to my worldview of liberated mindfulness in leadership — when we pause, notice, and lead with intention.
I’ll leave you with reflection questions and your first leadership challenge, and a short "Ingat Ka/Take Care" Micro Meditation to ground us in this new season of leadership.
