Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs

Have you ever been in a meeting where one person takes over simply because they are the strongest, loudest voice in the room? If so, your team may be falling victim to the tyranny of chill. Often, we blame the assertive team member for their role in the team dynamic. In reality, however, situations like these indicate an abdication of power that begins at the leadership level.

How do you cope with uncertainty? Do you get stuck in indecision and “analysis paralysis,” or do you approach the issue strategically? While uncertainty and lack of clarity are inevitable aspects of being an entrepreneur, you can take your power back by implementing action-oriented strategies to help propel you and your business forward and gain valuable insights into the process.

I also highlight the importance of radical conviction in the decision-making process and how acting in alignment with your values can help you feel more satisfied with your professional successes.   “Your growth is not just reverse-engineered from your goals, but it is in alignment with your values.” - Eleanor Beaton   Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: How I use December as a time to organize, reflect and reset in preparation for the new year A key commonality among entrepreneurs who feel satisfied with their results and achievements The power of intentions, alignment and defining your own terms on your overall professional satisfaction and success The difference between those who take consistent, value-based action towards their goals and those who don’t The primary core competency needed as a female entrepreneur when managing inevitable uncertainties that arise The characteristics of everyday uncertainty versus destructive uncertainty Factors that prolong destructive uncertainty Why you shouldn’t judge yourself for being in a place of destructive uncertainty and not knowing how to act Where many female founders get stuck in the process of approaching uncertainty A step-by-step process for effectively approaching uncertainty and how it can help combat “analysis paralysis”   Join the Exclusive Incubator Program!

Bold, confident, self-assured - these are some of the many characteristics of an empowered female entrepreneur. But even these inspiring women cannot escape the inevitability of experiencing unstable and challenging times as a leader. During these turbulent times, many fall into the trap of seeking outside approval while salvaging the situation through willpower alone. Sadly, these leaders end up doing the exact opposite of the very thing they should have done in the first place, which is to insource approval and outsource willpower. Keep Reading >> Today, I share the tool I developed that helps female entrepreneurs of all levels who are going through crises in leadership - insourcing approval and outsourcing willpower. I dive into the negative effects of outsourcing approval and the essential skills you fail to learn when you focus on letting others’ opinions be a defining factor when making decisions. I also share why insourcing willpower is not enough to create the results you want and how you can outsource it, instead, to make sure you have the bandwidth to make the decisions that matter the most.   “When we begin outsourcing approval as a general M.O. in our lives - it creates a crisis of leadership. It becomes an absence of accountability.”- Eleanor Beaton     Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: The relationship between credibility and approval. How you could be slowing your own progress. What it looks like to outsource approval. Why you may doubt yourself when it’s time to make decisions. How I personally saw and experienced the downside of outsourcing approval and insourcing willpower. A milestone that marked the end of the transference of authority in my life and the start of a new, liberating chapter. How to identify where you’re outsourcing approval. The two things that help you insource approval.    Join the Exclusive Incubator Program! Are you ready to build, leverage, and scale your business to the next level?

Reshma Saujani began her career as an attorney, but in 2010, she became the first Indian American woman to run for U.S. Congress. As part of her congressional race, she visited local schools and realized there was a marked gender gap in technology classes, which led her to start Girls Who Code, an international nonprofit organization working to close that gap. Reshma is also the author of Brave, Not Perfect, an international bestselling book that shares a collection of personal stories and powerful insights and strategies to end perfectionism and embrace bravery. Keep Reading >> Reshma joins me today to discuss how to step out of a prestige position and begin the journey towards what you are meant to do.

Reshma also shares how she has developed as a leader and CEO of Girls Who Code over the past seven years and how she foresees women grasping power in the technology industry.       “It’s about having the courage to move on” - Reshma Saujani       Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:   How Reshma realized that it’s okay to not be perfect Why you shouldn’t hide from your shame The importance of being authentic and telling your truth How Reshma’s personal journey helped her develop as a leader Why you need to give yourself permission to enjoy your downtime Why focusing on the goal instead of the journey can be damaging The joy of finding your flow How to manage the tension of continually searching for the next challenge How Girls Who Code empowers women in the technology sector     Resources Mentioned:   The Power of Vulnerability: Teaching of Authenticity, Connection and Courage - Brene Brown     Connect with Reshma Saujani:   Reshma Saujani Girls Who Code Teach Girls Bravery, Not Perfection - TED Talk         Rewire Your CEO Mindset in 3 Days!   Are you ready to rewire your CEO mindset to accelerate your company’s growth and take bold, decisive action?

Do you feel that the vision for your business is just out of reach? Or maybe you know what you want to achieve as a leader but don't know how to get there. If you’re feeling ‘blocked’ in moving your business to the next stage, it helps to clarify whether you’re in the implementation or transformation phase. Whether you need to plan and strategize to level up or look inward and focus on letting the vision percolate is the question that needs to be answered.
