Ready For A Reality Check?

As a female legal leader, one of the biggest hurdles you face isn't mastering the law or finding the right words to say in high-stakes situations—it's the inner struggle of seeking approval from others.
Reality check for you;
Are you communicating, focused on getting everyone to like and approve of you?
Fact: It's not possible - getting everyone to like you is never possible.
Many people don't like how I speak -what I say or my ideas! 😁
But I want you to know that communicating to reduce rejection or criticism keeps you from enjoying your leadership and leading as your best, most confident self.
Don't let chasing approval stop you from sharing your unique voice and message so you can influence outcomes in your firm, meetings, or negotiations.
Law firms, teams, colleagues and clients DON'T need more leaders seeking approval - they need more leaders driving impact.
Turn your focus to "I know how to serve these people at a higher level." This is my opportunity!
Ask yourself: "What would I do or say if I wasn't afraid?"
Then, do exactly that.
With integrity, courage and confidence.
People need your authentic voice, not a people-pleasing version of your leadership.
Stop retreating to please others.
High-performing leaders communicate with clarity, courage, and influence—not people-pleasing.
