121 | Myths about executive presence + where your power REALLY comes from Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to the show! I’m SO pumped about today’s episode. I created this episode for anyone who is trying to figure out how to convey power in a room without being fake or overly dominant. So many pockets of Corporate America tell you that in order to exude power, you need to be gruff and hypermasculine, but this isn’t true. And in fact, when you do those things, it actually dilutes your power.

Listen in to hear me explain why and to hear me guide you towards a more authentic, sustainable approach to executive presence.

EEEK! I am rather excited about this episode. Executive presence is a topic that is so important for your career, and yet so many leaders in the corporate world don’t really understand how to help women build it.

Are you self-critical? If so, this episode is for you. Your brain, when left unchecked, can make you feel awful and convince you that you’re the worst person ever. This can feel insanely crappy but the good news is, you’re not broken the way your brain says you are, and you have the power to change what you think and how you feel. And when you do this – you will start showing up with SO much more confidence at work. Tune in to learn how and let me know what you think!
