In this episode of Next Step Career Corner, I sit down with Laura Hill, former Chief Information Officer of the U.S. Forest Service, Army veteran, and trailblazing woman leader. Laura takes us through the crucibles of her career: joining the Army ROTC to escape a turbulent home life, breaking barriers in a male-dominated military, leading high-stakes IT operations at the White House after 9/11, and navigating the complexities of federal leadership.
We talk about the highs and the heartbreaks. She opens up about healing, humility, and redefining leadership on her own terms. Whether you’re a woman in leadership, a veteran finding your voice, or someone seeking resilience after a setback, this conversation will inspire you to lead with courage and live with authenticity.
