Women Leaders are the present and future; we do the hard things better. Most female leaders are of greater value than they believe, and that is the main issue. On this podcast we aim to look at where women leaders are stuck under their own thumb. By digging into the obstacles, the stories, the current trajectory, progress, and more, my goal is to bring it to the forefront of transformation. Society, the patriarchy and don’t forget the matriarchy, have been dictating the descriptive and prescriptive bias for centuries; unfortunately it is internalized for most female leaders. Whether they consciously pay attention to their mindset or not,the background noise limits them in their goals. It is time for a change, where not only the inherent value of a female leader is elevated in discussion, but that it becomes intrinsic. Self-doubt, comparison, competition, judgment and communication that never breaks the surface are at a tipping point of standing in the way of progress that could reshape this world. Join me for some action-packed episodes where you can learn tips for change in my solo episodes and listen in to some interesting conversations about changing female leaders trajectory from the inside out.

#4 Asking for Help Doesn’t Make You a Damsel in Distress
Wednesday Dec 23, 2020

Help can be hard to ask for, especially for women. You don’t want to give your power away or appear weak, so you go the other direction and take on way too much. You overcompensate and make sure there is no room for someone else to step in. You create challenges, look busy, break your back—except no one really notices you’re doing it, so you just exhaust yourself. Maybe you feel shame for what you don’t know or what you don’t understand, and having someone explain it would reveal you’re fallible; something you desperately need to keep hidden. But going it alone isolates you from others, which isn’t a good thing when you’re trying to get ahead.
So what’s the alternative? How do you ask for help without appearing like a damsel in distress? That’s what we will explore in this episode. We’ll also look at some of the barriers women face in asking for help and why we feel this way. As with so many challenges we encounter, a lot of it comes down to value and self-worth. If you are confident in who you are and what you bring to the table, asking for help won’t feel like a knock on your abilities. You’ll see it for what it truly is: an act of courage.
