The Art of Speaking Up

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.

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.

This week on the podcast I’m interviewing Felicia Ann Rose Enuha, host and creator of The Trill MBA show podcast. 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. She also shares what it’s been like for her being a Black woman in corporate, and walks through how advice like “be your authentic self” and “be more assertive” often applies differently to Black women. This conversation will not only help you be more smart and strategic about your career - but it’ll hopefully help you be a more empathetic & inclusive human and coworker in the process.

If 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.

If you’ve ever felt consumed by feelings of unworthiness & self-doubt, today’s episode is for you. This episode is a vulnerable share where I’ll be telling you a story about how I learned to navigate debilitating self-doubt in my corporate career.

This week’s episode is all about how I learned to find genuine confidence and answer that question loudly and proudly despite having struggled with it so deeply. My hope is to make your heart feel a little lighter, and your confidence a little bit bigger after you listen to this. If you struggle to feel good about yourself, you’re definitely not alone

So often, breaking the cycle of underearning is a crucial step in your confidence-building journey.
