There are few initiatives across Charter that Powell doesn’t have a hand in. She and her team are always ready to offer program management support, to execute employee field trials and to monitor launches for the measurement of customer satisfaction. There’s no doubt she’s crafting a plan for the integrations of Liberty Broadband and Cox once those acquisitions are finalized. Outside the office, she’s the nominating chair on the executive board of Mondays Cancer Care, an organization offering free wellness services to individuals undergoing cancer treatment.
How do you push through impostor syndrome or self-doubt? I’ve learned that confidence isn’t the absence of doubt—it’s the decision to move forward in spite of it. I look to the evidence of my work, the impact I’ve made and the path I’ve walked to get here. Facts silence fear.
How do you personally define “powerful” in the workplace today? To me, being a powerful woman in the workplace is not defined by a title or position—it’s the culmination of character, experience, and intention. It’s leading with compassion, showing determination and grit, and treating others with the same respect you expect in return. Gratitude is essential, too; it keeps you grounded and connected to the people around you. I believe our personal journeys shape the way we show up professionally. The challenges we face, the lessons we learn, and the growth we experience all give us deeper insight into how to lead, collaborate, and inspire. In many ways, it’s like winning the old game of Trivial Pursuit—you don’t succeed by mastering just one category. True power comes from conquering many facets of life and leadership, then bringing them together to create a well-rounded, authentic, and impactful presence.
