ABC News president Kim Godwin on stress management, work-life boundaries, and reframing self-doubt
These days, she’s busy preparing for the imminent, highly anticipated midterm elections, which require a high volume of fast-paced coverage. As the first Black woman to serve as a network news president, Godwin has worked to build a diverse staff to ensure that the network’s programming reflects the varied experiences of its audience.
While speaking with us, Godwin was eager to share the acronym “R.O.S.E,” that has informed her leadership style and career for decades. R.O.S.E denotes her four superpowers: Resilience, Optimism, a Smile, and Excellence every day. The most important one? “You need that smile,” she insisted. “It can warm up even the coldest room.”My alarm goes off at 4:15 every morning. I allow myself a maximum of two snoozes, so the latest I get up is 4:33 a.m. — and I’m not kidding.
At the same time, I emphasize vacation and days off, and making sure they are real. In other words, vacation means not checking your email every day. You really have to allow yourself time to unplug and decompress. It makes us better when we come back, especially given the harsh news cycle that we’ve been under for the last few years.Frankly, it was getting this job. Becoming president of ABC News was the culmination of my entire career.
