Retail Leadership with Steve Worthy
Retail leadership isn’t what it used to be — and neither are you.
After 30+ years of navigating the realities of store floors, boardrooms, restructures, and reinventions, I’ve learned this: the gap between what retail leaders need to grow and what companies actually provide is wider than ever. Promotions don’t come with clarity. Expectations rise, but context disappears. And while the metrics may shift, the pressure never does.
This podcast is for the retail leader who's already proven themselves — and still wants more.
This podcast is for the experienced retail leader who wants more — not more work, but more direction, more insight, and more impact.
I'm Steve Worthy — retail executive coach and founder of Worthy Retail Global. I’ve coached and developed thousands of leaders over three decades, and I created this podcast to give you the straight, strategic guidance I wish I had earlier in my career.
You’ve earned your position. Now let’s make sure you lead like it.
Retail Leadership with Steve Worthy
What Happens When You’ve Outgrown Your Role?
What Happens When You’ve Outgrown Your Role?
In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Holm from Helzberg Diamonds, and we get right into the real tension many retail leaders feel but rarely talk about — the moment you know you’re ready for more, even if you haven’t said it out loud yet.
Ryan’s journey from Dunkin’ Donuts to leading innovation in a Berkshire Hathaway company is filled with the kind of insights leaders need right now.
In this conversation we cover:
- How to know when the spark is fading
- Why targeted upskilling outperforms “learn everything” development
- The advantage of speaking both store and HQ fluently
- How to approach AI with a practical mindset
- How to evaluate whether you’re truly ready for the next step
This episode gives leaders a clearer view of where they stand today and what they may need to consider for tomorrow.
If you’re in a season of transition, this one will give you something real to think about.
