How comfortable are you being idle?
As a high achieving woman, you might dream of utter relaxation. But the internal and external pressure to stay productive and highly efficient might sabotage your attempts at restoration.
While action is required to achieve results, action without strategy, reflection, and rest can result in needless activity and wasted time.
This episode covers why always being busy is counterproductive and keeping you from achieving your biggest goals.

To what extent does your title concern you?
Titles may be a thing at networking events or cocktail parties. And your family and friends will celebrate a title upgrade with you.
But are titles that important? A few years ago, many online publications said they absolutely were important, especially in a job search.
However, is this still the state of affairs?
To dive more deeply into the topic for this episode, I reached out to a colleague of mine, Alicia Canario.

Do you cringe thinking about the mistakes you’ve made?
If you have high standards for yourself, and I’m guessing if you’re listening to this podcast you do. These high standards, combined with any tendency to be hard on yourself, may cause you to want shy away from fully owning your mistakes.
It may be a knee-jerk reaction, to want to move on quickly, pretending the mistake didn’t happen. But as a leader, the best course of action is to own your mistake and learn from it.
Not only is it good for you as a leader, it’s good for the morale and performance of your team.
This episode covers how to own your mistakes in a way that allows you and your team to grow in experience and trust.

As a woman leader you are constantly being sent the message to be more assertive and confident.
Confidence and assertiveness do have their place and most times I would encourage women leaders to embrace confidence and feel free to be assertive. However, never is this at the expense of honestly admitting when you don’t know.
If you don’t know the answer to a direct question, ‘I don’t know’ is the beginning of a good conversation. But, balancing your confidence as a leader and owning up to a lack of knowledge or competence in a certain area can be tricky.
This episode covers how to graciously admit when you don’t know and handle the situation in a way that engenders more confidence in you as a leader.
