Shameless Leadership 746: Erika Tebbens: How to Be an Action Taker and Changemaker
Erika Tebbens is a Growth Strategist for visionary entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers looking to make their mark doing things differently—and leave a legacy of meaningful impact. She works with established service providers, consultants, and coaches to create customized growth plans without complex systems, sleazy sales tactics, or working more hours.
Erika recently released her first book, You’ve Got This!: A Counterintuitive Guide to Powerful, Inevitable Changemaking and is also the host of the Sell it, Sister!® podcast.
With nearly 20 years of experience running successful businesses, from solo operations to multimillion-dollar retail teams, she knows there’s no one “perfect” way to operate — only one that’s perfectly aligned with your strengths, values, and vision. And she’s passionate about helping women & gender-expansive business owners grow their revenue with more ease because money has the power to make positive change.
Listen in to hear Erika share:
- How her book was inspired by people who were taking action after seeing her take action - and the discomfort she has around “being an inspiration” to others
- How we settle and minimize our impact on the world when we under qualify ourselves over the course of our lives
- How women can start to get over this notion that we have to “be somebody” to be qualified to be a changemaker in this world
- The importance of owning and honoring your stories in order to qualify yourself in powerful (and perhaps more public) ways
- How life could be different if we normalized being deeply flawed people
- How the smoke & mirrors of social media hold us back from being changemakers
- Why you might need to be selfish if you want to be a changemaker
