Shameless Leadership — Government & Organizations
Shameless Leadership

Welcome to Shameless Leadership! This show is for women, transgender people, non-binary folks, and allies who are committed to advancing their leadership and the leadership of those around them. In this space, we believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, valued, and supported. Our mission is to help you foster these feelings within your own circles of influence to build trust, psychological safety, and a culture of belonging.
In each episode, we dive into essential topics impacting women in leadership – everything from shutting down your inner critic and imposter syndrome to overcoming perfectionism to using your voice in new ways to advocate for yourself, your ideas, and other folks carrying marginalized identities. You’ll hear practical tips, effective strategies, and inspiring stories that will not only enhance your leadership skills but also broaden your perspective to become a more confident, thoughtful, and empathetic leader.
Our stories come from people carrying identities who are often underrepresented, underestimated, and excluded. By sharing their experiences, we aim to provide you with invaluable lessons that will transform your leadership journey. We are thrilled to have you join this community of Shameless Leaders who are actively creating a world where everyone, regardless of gender, can intentionally lead through a more curious, compassionate, and inclusive lens.

Her story goes to show that you just never know what surprises you can create in your life, no matter your age or stage, if you remain open to possibility.

What it was like to lose her lose her mom at age 5 and dad at age 12

777: What You Win When You Lead With Curiosity Jul 03, 2023

Show notes

If you have an anxious, jumpy brain like me, you might have a constant, urgent need to talk, share, contribute, make your point known, be seen, be a fixer, and get the right answer out before anyone else in the room…

Do ya feel me?!

However, what is gained by sharing (shoving?) our thoughts and ideas with others at breakneck speed can just as quickly be lost when we skip the opportunity to step back, get curious, really listen, and dig into engaging and enriching conversations.

So, how do we do this - especially if it’s not how your brain was innately designed?! In this episode, we will talk about how you can become a more curious person and better relationship builder by:

Identifying as a great question asker
Listening actively without formulating your response
Expanding conversations instead of managing or dominating them
Suspending judgment and the need to immediately respond to or counter everyone who thinks differently than you
Showing genuine interest in others and their thoughts & ideas
Embracing silence

As you integrate these curiosity practices, you will find yourself enjoying (winning!)

Deeper, richer relationships
More safe and trusting relationships
Empathy toward those who might have different lived experiences than you
The ability to see, understand, and embrace diverse viewpoints
A departure from always needing to be right to always being open-minded
