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.

Topics discussed in this episode:
Leadership Principles:
- Keep going - don’t stop. You have to look but the answer will always show up…keep going.
- Look into your own story. Your obstacles are your own, but they should never lead you to give up.
Habits:
- Engage in regular curiosity.
- Be intentional about turning things upside down on purpose in order to train yourself to see things differently.
Green Flags:
- When you hear or see someone speak and it resonates with you, tell them. It opens up communication lines that build bridges. Give specific feedback.
- There are commonalities and contrasts, go to the contrasts - outside of the comfort zone, this is where adventure awaits.
- Dive deep. We have a tendency to be very shallow. Knowing something deeply from all sides and angles gives you confidence.
