The leadership advice that's keeping you stuck...

You know that lawyer who speaks up in every meeting?
Who sets boundaries that stick?
Who says no without apologising?
They weren't born confident leaders.
They just got tired of being consumed by client work and trying to fit everything else into their "available time" - while constantly overthinking every decision.
Here's what you tell yourself:
"I need more experience first."
"I'll speak up when I'm more confident and I'm sure."
"I'll set boundaries when Im a (role/position/situation)."
These are lies.
âThings will never calm down when you have time to do X.
âYou'll never feel ready enough.
âAnd that influence you're waiting to build? It's going to someone who stopped waiting for permission to learn it and use it.
The lawyers who lead figured out the secret you're missing:
Confidence isn't a prerequisite to leading with trust. It's a byproduct.
→ They blocked their calendar before someone else filled it
→ They said "no" to the colleague dumping last-minute work
→ They built high-performing teams instead of just focusing on client work and profits
Each messy, imperfect decision taught them something perfectionism never could.
Stop asking "What if I fail publicly?"
Start asking, "What if I'm still here next year, wondering 'what if'?"
Because the only real failure is being the leader everyone works around instead of with.
