The Courage to Speak Up (Even When You’re Called ‘Difficult’)

What happens when your gut tells you something’s off but you don’t act on it? In this episode of UH-OH Conversations with Cohesive Leaders, Cynthia Campbell joins Dr. Troy Hall and Ben-Jamin Toy for a powerful and personal conversation on leadership, intuition, and the hard lessons that come from hesitating at the wrong time.

With two decades of experience in the credit union world and a new chapter as founder of Soul Path Leadership, Cynthia unpacks a real-world “UH-OH” moment: a delayed system upgrade that put her team under pressure and forced a fast-tracked transformation. She gets real about how confidence, collaboration, and even gender dynamics can impact decision-making, and why learning to trust your intuition is a non-negotiable leadership skill.

Along the way, we talk about discernment, building character through choices, and Cynthia’s two surprising alternative career paths: seminary student and roller derby queen (yes, really).

If you've ever struggled with trusting your instincts, presenting bold ideas, or wondering when to push and when to pause, this one’s for you.Hear real-time stories from leaders confessing their most crucial or recent "UH-OH" experiences in business. Learn what their "UH-OH" cost them, steps they took to fix it, and how they planned not to "do that one" again.
