Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs

My aunt – Linda Davies, a former investment banker who moved on to become an internationally best-selling author of financial thrillers for adults and adventure story author for young adults, has been an amazingly Fierce Feminine Leader that I have looked up to as a young adult and entrepreneur. If you've listened to the Fierce Feminine Leadership podcast for a while, you may remember my interview with Linda in Episode 29, where she shared her story and we discussed taking risks in your life, your business, and your career. Keep Reading >> Aunt Linda has taught me many valuable lessons. One of the most impactful lessons I have learned is how powerful the words I use to describe myself are, and why it's important to be ruthlessly loving with the words you use to describe yourself. On today's episode, I'm going to share with you how to be ruthlessly loving with your words and how learning this skill can positively impact your mindset, your life, your business, and your career. Your words are so powerful. Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: How the words you use to describe yourself, your business, or your career can impact your sense of achievement and success. As a leader, it is critically important that you face the truth – but don't undermine yourself with your own words. Identify the difference between what is true and what your intentions are for improvement. When you undermine yourself with your own words, you not only break trust with yourself – you also subtly erode the confidence that other people have in you. My Challenge to You: Understand that your words are powerful. Notice the words you use to describe yourself. Reframe your words in a way that is resourceful and loving.

Women have been successful in moving into the middle management positions within their companies and organizations, but despite the number of women's initiative events, social gatherings, and conferences, the number of women in senior leadership roles has barely moved over the last few decades. Many women initiative event organizers host events that provide little more than a way for the group of women within their organizations to gather, chat, and network with each other. Keep Reading >> How do you invigorate the female leaders in your organization? What can you do to truly support and help the women in your company grow and develop new skills to advance in their careers? On today's episode, I'm going to share with you a few powerful tips that I use when working with businesses and organizations hosting women's initiative events. These powerful tips can help any organization ramp up their program and empower their female leaders to step into their power and achieve their true potential within their organization. "If you are going to bring people together, it's got to be more than just a networking event." Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: Why organizations should train women on how to deal with unconscious gender bias. Why the CEO and men in senior leadership roles should also attend women's initiative events. When it comes to diversity inclusion, there is no such thing as one and done. 3 Tips to Invigorate Your Women's Initiative Events: Ensure the programming supports your women to overcome unconscious gender bias. Involve your senior leadership in the programming – especially the men. Make it part of a more comprehensive program. Love the show? Let us know!

Do you ever feel invisible in your organization? Despite all of the positive work you do to help your company move the needle toward achieving its goals and the impact you are making on your company's strategic direction - perhaps you're not achieving your personal, professional goals and ambitions. Perhaps you're getting overlooked for promotions in positions you feel you're highly qualified for, have the skills necessary to succeed, and can really help you shine as a fierce leader. Keep Reading >> On today's episode, I discuss the three fallacies that hold many fierce feminine leaders back from advancing their careers and getting promoted to powerful positions in their organizations. I explain why promotions aren't always based on your abilities, skills, and qualifications and what you can do to stand out. I also explain the importance of owning your accomplishments instead of seeking validation, how to effectively and strategically communicate your accomplishments to those in a position of power, and why you - fierce one - need to take control over your professional development, career advancement, and career trajectory. "Wanting recognition - desiring it - does not mean you are a bad person. It means you are a practical person." - Eleanor Beaton Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: Common biases in place at many organizations. Why promotions aren't always based on your skills, abilities, or qualifications. The importance of standing out in your organization and how it can lead to getting promoted. The importance of maximizing status differences and its impact on getting promoted. The difference between how men and women "stand out" in their organizations. The importance of owning your accomplishments instead of seeking validation. How to effectively, constructively, and strategically communicate your accomplishments. How to be identified as a high-potential employee. The importance of taking control of your life, your career, and your personal development. Fierce Leadership Quotes: "As a woman, sometimes our value of equality, egalitarianism, and meritocracy can sometimes hold us back from standing out." - Eleanor Beaton "Results don't actually You do." - Eleanor Beaton "It is the act of owning your accomplishments and strategically and constructively communicating those accomplishments - that's the win." - Eleanor Beaton Five Reasons You Didn't Get Promoted In Your Job Are you tired of being passed up year after year on landing the promotions of your dream? You have amazing ideas that can completely change the trajectory of your business, but somehow, you're not achieving your next level of success and getting the next promotion that can impact your career and help you break through your glass ceiling. If this sounds like you, join me for a 60-minute training on the five key reasons many women are often overlooked for career-advancing promotions. You'll also learn why and how feminine ambition and drive can often be misunderstood or misinterpreted and how it can impact your promotability.

When you look at the thought-leaders, business owners, and entrepreneurs around the world that are making a huge impact on society, you may notice that they all share an uncanny ability to determine what is possible – not just what is logical or realistic. They have the unique ability to distort reality – in the right way. To make a big impact in today's world – to be creative and innovative – entrepreneurs must be able to "think-outside-the-box." Keep Reading >> In previous episodes, we talked a lot about creating your 2017 goals and prosperity plans. Today, I want to share with you why it is critical that you – my fierce feminine leadership tribe – that you understand how to distort reality correctly to achieve your goals, dreams, and aspirations so they become possible and profitable. The right way to distort reality is to believe that your dreams are possible. Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: You need to think of things – not as they are – but as they could be. Entrepreneurs have to have a certain level of reality distortion in order to create great things and take risks to make their dreams real. Ignore the nay-sayers. Trust in yourself and your dreams. The wrong way to distort reality is to grossly underestimate what it takes to get where you want to go. If you want to create great results, you must be willing to invest the time and work it takes to get things done. 2 Rules of Reality Distortion: Believe your dreams are possible. Don't underestimate what is required to achieve your dreams. Dial Up Your Impact, Influence, and Income in 2017 Are you ready to take your leadership and influence to the next level in 2017?

Do you ever feel like you need to give yourself a kick in the butt? You feel like a hot mess, but you're not sure how to fix it? You're experiencing the life of an amateur.

What are your "wins?" If you are like many of the fierce feminine leaders that I coach, mentor, and teach – you probably answer that question by starting with: "Well, this isn't much of a win, but…" or, "I'm not really good at this, but…" Does that sound like you? Keep Reading >> On today's episode, I want to talk to you about the things that many ambitious women say about themselves and how they "show up" in today's modern business world. After all, the way you show up, the things you say about yourself, and the confidence you have about yourself and your accomplishments is often the lasting impression that other people remember about you. Diminishing ourselves can become an unfortunate habit that reinforces itself.
