Talisha Padgett spent 20+ years leading marketing, digital, and AI transformation inside some of the world's biggest companies — and is now building the playbook for navigating corporate power, change, and yourself with authenticity. This is the home base for her voice, her ideas, and the ways to work with her.
Change happens in systems. Transformation happens in humans.
Most corporate advice focuses on the system — the org chart, the process, the strategy deck. Talisha Talks focuses on the human inside it: how to read power, protect your empathy, and move ahead without losing yourself.
Talisha Talks is the front door. Everything else — the newsletter, the coaching, the consulting — is built on the same idea, applied at a different scale.
Original ideas on power, change, and empathy at work — published every 1–2 weeks, before they show up anywhere else.
