Finding Clarity in the Noise: A Conversation with Missie Hills

Oct 08, 2025

What do you do when your career feels like it’s full of static—too many ideas, too many paths, and not enough clarity?

In Episode 6 of the Leadership Laboratory Podcast, I sit down with Missie Hills, a seasoned engineer and strategy leader with more than 16 years of experience in the energy industry. Despite her impressive career, Missie struggled with self-doubt, competing directions, and the relentless inner voice of a hyperachiever.

Through a series of “leadership experiments,” coaching breakthroughs, and a commitment to personal development, Missie found what she calls the signal in the noise. She discovered how to ground herself, own her unique strengths, and step into clarity about her next chapter.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this inspiring conversation:

  • How to find clarity when you feel stuck or overwhelmed
  • The simple mantra that helps Missie stay grounded in any storm
  • Why celebrating your wins is critical for building lasting confidence
  • The surprising difference between mentors and coaches—and how both can shape your growth
  • How to lead in the “gray space,” where problems are complex and solutions aren’t always black and white
