Stand Tall & Own It
“Just be you!” That’s what they all say. But it hasn’t always been safe or smart for high performing women - at school, at work, at church, at the PTA or even that exclusive networking event. Holding back kills your authenticity, and limits your impact. Just because we live in a world that is more friendly to strong, female leaders, that doesn't mean you feel "safe" being you. That's why it's imperative to know you, how you fit (or don’t) into the greater expectations of society, and understand that cookie-cutter leadership solutions will never be the answer. Each solution is as unique as the leader it is for.
This podcast was created for high performing female leaders who are ready to make an impact by discovering the safety that comes from understanding their own value and exercising their authority. It’s time to truly “be you,” to Stand Tall & Own It.

Episode 75 - Three Insights on Being Present
Two and a half years after my very first post on “Being Present,” I’ve learned a few things. Practicing Presence is not yet something I’ve mastered, and based on what I see out there, we all need a refresher. So here are my takeaways.
Three Insights on “Being Present”:
- Everyone’s Present is unique.
- Without curiosity, you’ll never get “there.”
- If being “present” doesn’t produce kindness in you, then you’re doing it wrong.
So what should we do?
- Unique: One size doesn’t fit all. Do your own work.
- Curiosity: Get curious about you. When you don’t like something, ask “why?” and wait…
- Kindness: It’s the byproduct of presence.
