There are a lot of myths out there about what you need to do to be successful at work.

You may already be at a point in your career where you’ve realized this and had to shift gears.

And you may still feel like you are walking a tight rope of, for instance, needing to be more decisive but not too decisive because that can work against you as a woman. Or, advocating for yourself more but not too much because that also has consequences.

On this episode of Women Taking the Lead I’m joined by Analiza Quiroz Wolf to talk about the strategies and practices that will actually lead you to success in the workplace.

In this episode Analiza and I discussed:

·         How her own story influenced the need to debunk the myths of success and the research and experiences that went into it.

·         How our strategies for success often come from those who want the best for us but those strategies don’t always translate into success at work.

·         The notion that you will be seen, acknowledged and rewarded by focusing on your responsibilities and working hard.

·         How growing your influence is about developing relationships with others and again doesn’t involve a lot of hard work.

·         Letting go of leadership stereotypes so your own strengths as a leader can emerge.

Would you describe yourself as being self-aware?

Most people do. But according to research done by organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich and her team involving 5000 participants, it may be that only 10%-15% of the population is actually self-aware.

Additionally, they found that when someone considers themselves to be highly experienced, that estimation may keep them from questioning their assumptions, seeking evidence that goes against their own position, or continuing to learn. This played out in more experienced managers overestimating their leadership effectiveness as compared to newer managers.  

In the last episode we covered how to lead with emotional intelligence, and benefits of utilizing empathy in your leadership.

In this episode we will expand on two of the five components of emotional intelligence: self-awareness and self-regulation. Additionally, you get a few suggestions on how to develop these abilities, so you feel more confident and creative in your role.

Have you ever been in a situation where you felt like you couldn't fully be yourself?

Maybe you hesitated to share an idea, express an opinion, never mind present an opposing view. Or maybe felt like you didn't belong?

And as a leader, have you ever been made aware of an employee having this experience at work?

I have Pasha Marlowe joining me to discuss the profound importance of psychological safety and belonging.

Meet Pasha Marlowe:

Pasha Marlowe (she/they) has 30 years of experience as a marriage and family therapist and neurodiversity coach. She specializes in the intersection of neurodiversity, disability, and LGBTQIA+. Pasha speaks to organizations and ERGs about neurodiversity-affirming practices, psychological safety, and neurobelonging. She encourages leaders to have a lens of inclusion and intersectionality to allow all, including those with the most marginalized identities, to be seen and heard.

In this episode Pasha and I discussed:

  • How Pasha got into such a specialized field of work.
  • How as leaders we can create environments for psychological safety to exist.
  • Shaping our words and actions to contribute to psychological safety.
