As a leader, it’s easy to get hooked on solving every problem for your organization—it feels great to be the hero. However, this can actually hinder your team’s development. In today’s episode, we are going to show you how to step back and empower your team to build their problem-solving skills.Tiffany has crafted a five-stage framework to help assess where a team member is in their problem-solving journey and guide them to the next level when they’re ready.Here’s a breakdown of the stages:Stage One: Team members ignore issues and don’t communicate them.Stage Two: They start communicating these issues.Stage Three: They communicate issues and bring at least three potential solutions, which is a key step in developing their problem-solving abilities.Stage Four: They communicate the problem, propose three solutions, and recommend a plan of action.Stage Five: They clearly state the problem, suggest three solutions, and resolve the issue on their own.Encourage your team to listen to this episode, identify their current stage, and discuss their goals for growth.Resources:Register for the Her Best Life 2024 Flagship Event in Miami, September 16-18. Connect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVA Media

“Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn’t matter. The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of being understood, you’re going to be seen. All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are.” - Brianna WiestIf that quote challenges you, inspires you, touches something inside of you, then you are our people.

Vulnerability might seem the opposite of strong leadership, but it’s actually foundational to it. In today’s episode, we talk about the benefits of being vulnerable and authentic. Plus, we give you three practices to unlock this superpower for yourself.Brené Brown’s 2010 Ted Talk on The Power of Vulnerability sparked a new, positive way of looking at vulnerability. Vulnerability is the birthplace of joy, belonging, creativity, and love. It builds trust among teams. It allows us to honestly evaluate problems and come up with sustainable solutions. Vulnerability also gives back to us all the mental, emotional, and even physical energy we spend trying to hide our flaws and who we really are. So, how do you start to unlock vulnerability and authenticity, especially if you’re a woman leader in the workplace? First, lean into your strengths so that you feel confident in allowing people to know about your weaknesses. Second, discover and ask for what you truly need. Third, develop and enhance your support system. Don’t worry. We break this all down in detail in this episode and give you firsthand stories about how we have implemented vulnerability and authenticity as superpowers in our own businesses and lives.Resources:Sign up for the September Her Best Life event which starts with a vulnerability and authenticity panel: HerBestLife.com/eventsWatch Brené Brown’s 2010 Ted Talk: “The Power of Vulnerability”Connect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVA Media
