Tiffani joins me to discuss what growth IQ means and share the ten growth paths that separate high performing businesses from those that begin experiencing a growth stall. She emphasizes how combination and sequencing are vital to business growth and why it is more important than ever for businesses to focus on improving their customer experience. She also shares her top three growth strategies for female founders to boost their growth IQ.

“What really separated the high performers was the combination of initiatives that they did in a particular sequence or order.” - Tiffani Bova

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• What her upbringing in Hawaii taught her about life and business.
• Why she calls herself a “recovering seller.”
• Her definition of growth IQ.
• The pattern she saw over 15 years of work that high performing companies used to grow.
• Why combinations and sequencing are essential for growth.
• Why she believes customer experience is the new product.
• How to find a balance between customer experience and other growth paths.
• How consumers and their expectations have changed.
• Why she believes the lines between B2C and B2B have become blurred.
• The habits and disciplines that have allowed high growth IQ companies to be customer-centric.
• Using unconventional strategies as a growth path.
• What surprises her the most about how companies grow.
• Three growth strategies for female founders.

Tiffani Bova’s Top 3 Growth Strategies:

1. Disrupt yourself and be open to being uncomfortable.
2. Be a student of your profession.
3. Figure out how you can start to give back.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• “Experience is the new product.” - Tiffani Bova
• “The lines between B2B and B2C have blurred to the point that I’m now calling it B2E: business to everything, everyone, and to the experience.” - Tiffani Bova
• “The companies that are more outside-in oriented, culturally, are able to really align themselves to this message of experience being the product.” - Tiffani Bova

On today’s episode, Emma explains why domain knowledge is as necessary as technical knowledge for entrepreneurs in the technology space and how valuable it has been for her to surround herself with mentors and advisors who can fill in the gaps in her knowledge. She shares practical advice for entrepreneurs and start-ups on building a company to scale and tips on creating and delivering a winning pitch. She also shares the organizational strategies she uses when tackling big projects with her team.

“Although technology is what can unlock the solution, it is actually the domain knowledge that helps us define what the problem is in the first place.” - Emma Weston

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• What being a farmer has taught her about being an entrepreneur.
• How domain knowledge helps to define the problem that technology can help solve.
• What AgriDigital does and how it uses blockchain.
• The importance of confidently asking questions and learning when working in an unfamiliar space.
• How it is possible to build a business in a domain that you do not have a background in.

• The importance of finding a balance between ideas and execution on a team or in a partnership.
• Why she believes technology companies should be more open about what they are creating.
• Her top organizational tips for tackling big projects.
• Why she recommends tapping into team members’ personal motivations before starting a project.
• The importance of noticing when you are not performing at your personal best.
• The most common challenges faced by the entrepreneurs she mentors.
• How women entrepreneurs’ need to be an expert holds them back.
• The hallmarks of going from a start-up to an early stage growth company and how leaders should prepare themselves for scalability.

Emma Weston’s Tips for a Successful Pitch:

1. Keep it simple.
2. Practice.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• “I want people to tell me when I’m not being as effective as they’ve seen me be in the past so I can take corrective action.” - Emma Weston
• “When crafting a pitch, what really resonates a lot more, quite often is a story that illustrates rather than trying to just explain. I think that going for whatever is simple is what’s needed in the pitching environment.” - Emma Weston
• “As women, we sometimes set a standard that is frankly too high. It’s just unattainable, and that holds us back.” - Emma Weston

Laura Vanderkam’s Top 3 Success Tips:

1. Track your time for one week.

Today, I want to share with you one small tweak that I recently made in my personal life and how it has dramatically improved my business – and my life.

By taking ownership of my daily schedule, by making a small tweak, I’ve really been able to generate great results.

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• How small changes in your daily routine can improve how you show up in the world
• How outsourcing tasks and finding an accountability partner helps “free up” mental space so you can work more productively

My Challenge to You:

• Ask yourself: What small tweak can I make in my daily schedule that can generate big results?
• Ask yourself: What am I not allowing myself to consider because I think “this is the only way it works for me?”
• Be open and fluid. Explore opportunities. Try new things.

On today’s episode, I’m sharing a replay of a recent personal branding training seminar called Rise Up: 7 Unconventional Strategies to Build Your Personal Brand. I explain what a personal brand is and why it’s important for advancing your career or business as well as share actionable strategies you can use to start building your powerful personal brand. I also explain why you should view your personal brand as a reflection of your values and what you represent and why it should be considered an asset to your professional career.

“When you think about great leaders - in order for them to be great leaders, to be recognized as such - it’s not just the impact that they have one-on-one. It’s about what they represent and the impact they have at scale.’ - Eleanor Beaton

• Getting clear on various obstacles you may face as you build your personal brand and how to overcome them.
• How your personal brand impacts your influence.
• The connection between leadership, influence, and your personal
• Overcoming the fear of playing big.
• Dealing with criticism and push back while creating impact and building a personal brand.
• How adopting a mission bigger than yourself helps you build a strong personal brand.
• How to identify a bigger, more meaningful mission to adopt.
• What it means to own the promise of your mission.
• The importance of sharing your bold, galvanizing point of view on topics you are passionate about.
• Overcoming the “people pleaser” mindset and getting comfortable with other people disagreeing with you.
• The difference between fear-based boundaries and intentional boundaries.
• The importance of mastering the art of public speaking.
• What “conviction’ means and how to cultivate it.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• “When you have impact at scale, it means you can amplify the impact that you want to have for much less effort.”
• “If your personal brand exists only for other people - you are missing the biggest part of the equation.”
• “Your personal brand is about intentional contribution that reflects your values.”

Susan joins me today to share how she pursued her personal interests while working in an organization, the lessons she learned throughout her childhood about entrepreneurship, and how Numbercrunch and Givopoly initially began. She explains the difference between “growth mode” and “expansion mode” as it relates to building your business and how she finds balances her time, energy and creativity while juggling her career and personal life. She also explains why she believes it's critical for more women to have a seat at the boardroom tables and what we need to do to help women achieve this goal.

• “I came to the realization that if I’m going to do intense professional - I need to do intense personal. It all kind of balances against each other.” - Susan Richards
• “There are great organizations now that are helping to train women and make them aware of large board positions, but in parallel to that, we can just tap each other on the shoulders and get us in the right room and make people aware.” - Susan Richards

Lolly joins me today to share her story and provide practical strategies on how fierce feminine leaders can explore their leadership gaps to step into their power and lead from within.

“Striving for perfection is striving to fail.” - Lolly Daskal

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• Why discipline and routines are important to her
• The relationship between being present and being disciplined

3. Understand the distinction between perfection and excellence.

Elem Rinomato’s journey into the construction industry began at the tender age of 8 when she asked her father the simple question, “Daddy, what is drywall?” Today, she is the president of Torino Drywall, a company that builds wall and ceiling system for high-rise and low-rise residential and commercial construction projects as well as the owner of Country Homes – a residential home construction company for the Greater Toronto Area. She is also the Vice President of the Rinomato group of commercial companies, the Vice President of the Board of Directors of the Interior Systems Contractors Association, and a board member of the local apprenticeship committee.

On today’s episode, I’m discussing why everything you’ve learned about building your personal brand is wrong. I share the three most common myths about building your personal brand, how believing these myths can actually hold you back from achieving your professional goals, and how they can prevent you from showing up as the strong, confident, fierce feminine leader we know you can be. I also explain why your personal brand should be viewed as the byproduct of your decision to be deliberate and intentional and why the way you present yourself and your brand should reinforce your ideas, values, and mission in this world.

“I wouldn’t be where I am today if I had listened to the bad, but conventional, advice I received about personal branding.” - Eleanor Beaton

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• The importance of aligning your personal brand with your instincts and values.
• Why building your personal brand is not a “fluff-filled activity.”
• The dangers of taking advice from people with “unconscious competence.”
• Why your reputation is critical to your long-term success.
• Why your presentation should reinforce your ideas.
• Why the idea that your personal brand is your lead indicator is wrong
• The importance of viewing your personal brand as the lag indicator - not the compass.
• Why your brand should be a natural byproduct of you being true to the things that matter most to you. 

Top 3 Myths About Personal Branding:

1. Don’t build your personal brand.
2. Presentation trumps ideas.
3. Building a personal brand constricts your freedom of expression and decisiveness.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• “Bold presentation is going to be most powerful when it reinforces your ideas.”
• “A brand is a return on investment. It is a lag indicator that you build from being intentional about your values, what you bring to the world, and the contribution you want to make.”
• Don’t lead with brand. Brand is the afterglow. Action and intention are the things that are going to get you where you want to go.”

Many brilliant, high-achieving professional women shy away from talking about themselves, their accomplishments, and their successes because they don’t want to come off as obnoxious or leave the impression that they are bragging. What many of these fierce ladies may not realize, though, is that sharing their accomplishments with the world helps them claim their power, their authority, and their voice.

So, how can you subtly toot your own horn without coming off as obnoxious or braggy? That, my fierce friends, is exactly what I’m going to share with you today! I’m sharing five powerful strategies to help you share your accomplishments and successes without sounding like you have a chip on your shoulder.

“As you advance, that hard work and the results become table stakes.”

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• Why sharing your accomplishments are critical to your potential for advancement
• How to share your accomplishments without sounding obnoxious
• The importance of scheduling weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly “check-ins” with your boss or clients

5 Tips to Subtly Toot Your Own Horn:

1. Talk about your team, their results, while making it clear that you are in the driver’s seat
2. Take your boss and your client out to lunch
3. Get recommendations on LinkedIn
4. Use the power of stories
5. Share what you have learned.
