Introducing “Think Forward with Rose”

I’m excited to share Think Forward with Rose, a podcast created for higher education leaders who are ready to transform their institutions from within. Each episode brings you insightful, thought-provoking, and inspiring conversations with higher education executives, deans, department chairs, and institutional change agents. Together, we explore the realities of leadership in higher education—where tradition meets transformation—and create space for leaders to raise their voices, share their stories, and be part of the larger conversation shaping the future of academia and leadership.

Designed for both emerging and established leaders, the podcast delivers practical strategies, honest insights, and hard-earned lessons to help you refine your leadership style, expand your influence, and create meaningful impact. Anchored by the themes of Leadership, Culture, Performance, Change, and Innovation, the show offers expert guidance on navigating institutional dynamics, leading through change, fostering engaged cultures, and driving data-informed decisions.

Whether you’re leading a department, preparing for your next role, or seeking to strengthen your impact in academia, this podcast empowers you to lead with clarity, elevate institutional culture, and achieve results that matter.

Hosted by me, Rose Marie Sloan, Think Forward with Rose is your destination for the strategies, stories, and inspiration you need to advance higher education and lead with influence—one conversation at a time.

The Say Moore Podcast – The Unstoppable Rise of Women in Leadership

In 2025, I appeared on the Say Moore Podcast to share my journey and the story behind founding JBR Leadership. In the episode, I spoke about my path from working as an elementary school teacher to leading an organization dedicated to supporting women in leadership.

I opened up about the challenges women face in the corporate world, how JBR Leadership is working to break down those barriers, and why building supportive networks is so essential.

Along the way, I also reflected on my personal and professional experiences, offering advice and encouragement for women striving to step confidently into leadership roles.
