#105 Breaking Barriers and Leading with Resilience with Gladys H. DeClouet

What does it take to break barriers in industries that never expected you to rise?

In this episode of Leadership on the Rocks, Bethany Rees sits down with Gladys DeClouet—trailblazing executive and author of A Layered Life. Gladys shares her raw and powerful story of becoming the first female engineer in offshore oil, leading multibillion-dollar businesses, and navigating the hidden “invisible tax” of being the first Black woman in leadership roles across corporate America.

She opens up about resilience, inclusive leadership, and the high cost of ambition, while also offering encouragement and practical lessons for leaders today.
