When we talk about powerhouse women in leadership, we are often talking about women CEOs, executives, and high-achieving, highly ambitious entrepreneurs, but being a powerhouse female leader doesn’t stop there! Over the last several decades, there have been a few brave women stepping up their leadership game - all the way to the White House.

 

I’m talking about the Kamala Harris’s, the Maxine Waters’, the Hillary Clinton’s, and the Elizabeth May’s of the world. Those women that are making a significant impact on the world; bringing to reality their vision of how the world should be.

 

My guest today is Mayor of Moncton, Dawn Arnold. Dawn shares why it’s so important for women to get their political voices heard, shares her experiences with running for office, and shares how she overcame her personal fears about campaigning. She explains how she developed the thick skin required to lead a political campaign and how her experiences can help you become a more fierce feminine leader.

 

 

“Change the game. Don’t let the game change you.” - Mayor Dawn Arnold

 

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

 

  • Why she decided to run for mayor of Moncton
  • Overcoming political campaigning challenges
  • How running for office impacts the entire family
  • Staying resilient during good and bad events and experiences
  • Owning your strengths and skills
  • Barriers preventing women to run for political offices
  • Bringing diverse groups with differing views together
  • How to be more comfortable with being more visible

 

 

Mayor Dawn Arnold’s Top 3 Success Strategies:

 

  1. Know your strengths and values - and own them.
  2. Be resilient and okay with taking ‘no’ for an answer.
  3. Take nothing personally.

Shelli Varela is a “possibility hacker,” public speaker, and Canada’s first female firefighter in one of the largest cities in the country. She went from being a young 20-something struggling artist working in makeup, film, and special effects to finding her true passion, her true calling, as a firefighter, working her way up to Fire Captain.

 

Shelli joins me today to share her “lightbulb moment” - the moment she decided to follow her passion and dream of becoming a firefighter. She shares how she used anger and her hyperactive imagination to help her accomplish her goals and her strategies for breaking down her big, audacious goals into bite-size pieces. She also explains the importance of giving yourself permission to explore your interests and passions and why it’s important to lead with possibility.

 

 

“The universe really does conspire to help you achieve your dreams, goals, and purpose if you allow it to do so.” - Shelli Varela

 

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

 

  • Using anger to motivate you to achieve your goals and dreams
  • The importance of staying emotionally and mentally engaged
  • Visualizing and feeling yourself achieving your goals - even before you actually achieve them
  • The true meaning of being aligned and how you know when you’re in alignment
  • How identifying what you want to feel can set you on the path toward your “value currency”
  • Leading with possibility
  • The importance of applying grit to the goals and dreams you want to achieve

Setting boundaries are crucial to your overall success as an entrepreneur or business leader, but many people - especially women - significantly struggle with setting boundaries and sticking to them. For generations, women have been taught to put the needs of others ahead of their own; to be “people pleasers.”

 

However, in order to achieve your goals and dreams, you must be willing to set boundaries and say no to others so that you can focus on achieving your mission.

 

Today, I’m explaining what a boundary is and why setting strong ones are essential to helping you achieve your goals and reach your potential. I’m also providing you with three strategies on how to set strong boundaries that will help you achieve your goals.

 

 

“As you grow, your boundaries need to change.” - Eleanor Beaton

 

 

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

 

  • How sharing your boundaries allows you to be truly generous
  • The importance of recognizing and addressing your “people pleasing” habits
  • The connection between your energy level and setting strong boundaries
  • Overcoming unpleasant feelings that may be associated with saying no to others
  • Strategies on how to start implementing stronger boundaries

 

 

5 Signs You Need Better Boundaries:

 

  1. Overcommitting
  2. Over-promising
  3. Feeling exhausted
  4. Second guessing yourself
  5. Resentment

Have you ever conducted a presentation knowing all-too-well that, that one presentation could be “the big one.” The one that could transform your business or career, open big new doors of opportunity, and really take things to the next level?

 

This happens a lot in the corporate world as well as the entrepreneurial world and how you handle these situations is the key to your success.

 

Many fierce female leaders find themselves “leading in fear” - the fear of owning the promise of their work. On today’s episode, I want to share why owning the promise of your work is critical to the success of your next presentation and how it can help you avoid stepping over big opportunities.

 

 

“As a leader, it’s your job to paint the vision.” - Eleanor Beaton

 

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

 

  • How your success pivots on how well you convey your promise.
  • Owning the promise of your work isn’t the same as bragging
  • By not owning the promise of your work, you are engaging in a momentary lapse of leadership
  • The impact that owning your promise can have on your business, customers, and investors
  • How the promise of your work is the beating heart of your Million Dollar Message

Money is a form of currency - and a powerful form of energy. Having the right mindset around money and earning what you are worth is often difficult for many women entrepreneurs. My guest today is Denise Duffield Thomas. Denise is an award-winning speaker, author, and entrepreneur and the founder of Lucky Bitch where she helps women transform their economy class money mindset into a first-class life. Denise is passionate about helping women release their fear of money, set premium prices for their services, and take control of their finances.

 

She joins me today to share her journey into cultivating a powerful mindset around money. We discuss the common money blocks that hold women back from earning what they are truly worth and the link between financial empowerment and feminism.

 

“A healthy money mindset is not an absence of blocks or fears. It's about allowing yourself to receive money in ways that feel really good to you.” - Denise Duffield Thomas

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

 

  • What money blocks are and how they impact your life and business
  • How to identify money blocks
  • The link between money blocks and creating passive revenue in your business
  • Income-producing activities vs “busy work”
  • The connection between a lack of focus and money blocks
  • Creating a focus mantra
  • Creating boundaries - and sticking to them

 

How to Overcome Money Mindset Blocks:

 

  1. Become aware of your money blocks
  2. Track your income - and your freebies

Many different factors come into play when you launch a new business. From figuring out your marketing strategy and identifying your ideal clients to creating proposals, attending networking events, and staying current on your education and certification courses, there are many things you need to consider to make a successful impact in your industry.

One of the most critical factors that many new entrepreneurs often overlook is their message. Your message, and the way you deliver it, can be the determining factor that makes a client or organization decide whether to work with you.

On today’s episode, I want to share four easy steps you can take to create a powerful message for your business and help you overcome the “boring message syndrome” that often plagues many fierce feminine leaders and entrepreneurs.

 

“Great leaders - women of influence - are storytellers and excellent communicators.” - Eleanor Beaton

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

  • How to identify if you have “boring message syndrome”
  • How to elegantly and persuasively get people to hear your message
  • Creating a compelling argument
  • Using case studies to tell a story and support a controlling idea
  • Showing what is possible by implementing ideas, methods, or messages

 

4 Parts of Complete and Persuasive Messages:

  1. Your controlling idea
  2. The details
  3. The stories
  4. The promise

What does playing big in your business or career mean to you? For some, it may mean swallowing your fear and starting a new business or accepting – or declining – a promotion. My guest today is women’s leadership expert, Tara Mohr. She is a passionate coach, speaker, and the creator of the Playing Big Leadership Program, which has gained recognition by many major media publications including Oprah.com, Fast Company, TEDx Women, The New York Times, and Time Magazine.

Tara joins me today to share her story, what inspired her to empower women to play a bigger game, and what motivated her to publish her book, Playing Big: Practical Wisdom for Women Who Want to Speak Up, Create, and Lead. She shares her insight on what causes women to play small, how to overcome those fears to achieve the success they deserve, and the inner work necessary for women to play a bigger game.

 

“Playing big is being more loyal to your dreams than your fears.” – Tara Mohr

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

  • How limiting beliefs often prevent women from playing big and accomplishing big goals
  • The inner work required for women to accomplish their “outer work” goals
  • Common signs and expressions of playing small
  • How Tara’s own experience with crushing limiting beliefs and fears has impacted her career and enabled her to play a bigger game
  • Why it’s important for women to “unhook” from praise as well as criticism
  • How to maintain a steadiness of your soul and why it’s important

 

Tara’s Tips to Play a Bigger Game:

  1. Become aware of and manage your inner critic voice
  2. Access your inner mentor
  3. Unhook from praise and criticism
