275 | You can be imperfect, messy, & struggling…and still be a wildly effective leader
If you feel like you’re a mess some days and you worry you’ll never feel confident or ‘together’ enough to succeed professionally - I have an important message to share with you. Being a powerful leader does NOT come from you being perfect and keeping it together all of the time. It comes from you knowing how to navigate the ups and downs that leaders inevitably face. The way you’ll get good at this is by giving yourself permission to navigate YOUR OWN internal ups and downs. This is why when it comes to leadership - being an imperfect, messy, struggling human is a GOOD thing. Tune into this week’s episode for more perspective on this. P.S.

263 | Assertiveness: the ultimate guide for people pleasers, empaths, and the highly sensitive
If you want to advance into leadership roles (and thrive once you’re in them), you have to master the skill of assertiveness. I see lots of women get stuck when it comes to assertiveness because they think they need to be more aggressive & domineering in order to be assertive (and they *hate* doing this). But what if I told you that your natural kindness and empathy are your greatest superpowers when it comes to assertiveness? It’s true - effective assertiveness isn’t about being the most domineering person in the room. It’s about knowing how to walk the line between directness and collaborativeness - and I believe that kind, empathic humans are equipped to do that better than anyone else. Tune into today’s episode to begin developing an assertive communication style that honors your authentic personality & your values (because it IS possible). I hope you find this episode permission-giving and liberating! P.S.

In this week’s episode, I’m diving into some foundational mindset work to help you deepen your ability to KEEP going when the going gets tough so you can keep moving towards your goals AND grow your confidence along the way.

During this in-person conversation that we had in Felicia’s studio, she shares wisdom to help you navigate some of the landmines that pop in the corporate space.

252 | How to THRIVE in a leadership role (without having to be perfect or compromise your values)
EIf you want to create BIG success in a leadership role, this week’s episode is for you. So many of my clients have a false belief that in order to succeed in a high-level leadership role, they need to 1) give up their values and be tougher on people, and 2) be more skilled at their job. I disagree. In fact, I think that who you are, right NOW, with your current values, personality, and imperfect skillset is MORE than enough for you to thrive as a leader. And in today’s episode, I’m determined to show you why that's true. You don’t need to become someone different to rise up and succeed professionally. You need to do the exact opposite and learn to be MORE of who you already are. Are you ready to start doing that? Tune in and I’ll show you how.
