On today’s episode, I share why it is critical for entrepreneurs to get over their fear of bothering or annoying others. I explain how the fear of annoying people can actually hold you back from achieving your goals and the importance of understanding that how people feel about what you do to market your business is truly none of your business. I also explain how giving in to the fear of annoying others can impact your ability to communicate effectively and sufficiently as well as why it is critical to consistently promote your business to achieve the success you deserve.

“The fear of annoying others can absolutely hold you back, as an entrepreneur, from being able to communicate effectively and sufficiently with people.” - Eleanor Beaton

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• How the fear of bothering people can hold you back from achieving the next level of success.
• How your fear of annoying others impacts your ability to communicate effectively and sufficiently with others.
• The importance of understanding that how people feel about what you do isn’t your business.
• Why it is critical for entrepreneurs to market consistently.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• “When you are worried about annoying people, you are placing the needs and feelings of the 2% over the masses.” - Eleanor Beaton
• “If someone is annoyed with you - it is not your business.” - Eleanor Beaton
• “The biggest enemy of most entrepreneurs is obscurity.” - Eleanor Beaton

Practice.

On today’s episode, I share why practicing your leadership skills is critical for becoming a high-performing leader. I explain why learning a new skill or starting a new business or project can put you at a higher risk of throwing in the towel and giving up. I also explain the difference between complex skills and component skills, the importance of identifying your key component skills, and share strategies to help you practice - and master - your component skills.

“When you think about high-performers - they spend a ton of time practicing their skills.” - Eleanor Beaton

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• What separates high-performers from average performers.
• Why it’s critical to practice new skills.
• The difference between complex skills and component skills.
• The importance of identifying and practicing your key component skills.
• How breaking complex skills into simpler skills helps you improve.
• The importance of setting small, actionable weekly goals.
• The importance of overestimating the time it will take to practice a new skill.
• The importance of working with a coach, mentor, or advisor.
• How being attached to results and ROI impacts your performance.
• The importance of staying in-tune with the “beginner’s mindset” as you practice new skills.

5 Steps to Improve Your Component Skills:

1. Identify your high-performance inputs.
2. Break complex skills into simpler component skills.
3. Set quick-hit process goals.
4. Overestimate the time required.
5. Practice with a devoted coach.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• “You’ve got to sharpen the saw. Practice, practice, practice.” - Eleanor Beaton
• “In our world of frenzied action, it is so easy to underestimate the time that we need to prepare and plan.” - Eleanor Beaton
• “When you’re moving into a new level of leadership; when you’re moving into a new level of growth; when you’re looking to master a new skill set - that attachment to results and ROI actually impedes your ability to grow - and your performance.” - Eleanor Beaton

I also explain how your upper limit problem is often connected to your limiting beliefs and share strategies to help you overcome them.

• “Take time to reflect on what stories or limiting beliefs you currently have that are holding you back from truly enjoying the success and abundance that is out there for you.” - Eleanor Beaton

Aunt Linda has taught me many valuable lessons. One of the most impactful lessons I have learned is how powerful the words I use to describe myself are, and why it’s important to be ruthlessly loving with the words you use to describe yourself.

On today’s episode, I’m going to share with you how to be ruthlessly loving with your words and how learning this skill can positively impact your mindset, your life, your business, and your career.

Your words are so powerful.

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• How the words you use to describe yourself, your business, or your career can impact your sense of achievement and success.
• As a leader, it is critically important that you face the truth – but don’t undermine yourself with your own words.
• Identify the difference between what is true and what your intentions are for improvement.
• When you undermine yourself with your own words, you not only break trust with yourself – you also subtly erode the confidence that other people have in you.

My Challenge to You:

• Understand that your words are powerful.
• Notice the words you use to describe yourself.
• Reframe your words in a way that is resourceful and loving.

How do you invigorate the female leaders in your organization? What can you do to truly support and help the women in your company grow and develop new skills to advance in their careers?

On today’s episode, I’m going to share with you a few powerful tips that I use when working with businesses and organizations hosting women’s initiative events. These powerful tips can help any organization ramp up their program and empower their female leaders to step into their power and achieve their true potential within their organization.

“If you are going to bring people together, it’s got to be more than just a networking event.”

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• Why organizations should train women on how to deal with unconscious gender bias.
• Why the CEO and men in senior leadership roles should also attend women’s initiative events.
• When it comes to diversity inclusion, there is no such thing as one and done.

3 Tips to Invigorate Your Women’s Initiative Events:

1. Ensure the programming supports your women to overcome unconscious gender bias.
2. Involve your senior leadership in the programming – especially the men.
3. Make it part of a more comprehensive program.

On today’s episode, I discuss the three fallacies that hold many fierce feminine leaders back from advancing their careers and getting promoted to powerful positions in their organizations. I explain why promotions aren’t always based on your abilities, skills, and qualifications and what you can do to stand out. I also explain the importance of owning your accomplishments instead of seeking validation, how to effectively and strategically communicate your accomplishments to those in a position of power, and why you - fierce one - need to take control over your professional development, career advancement, and career trajectory.

“Wanting recognition - desiring it - does not mean you are a bad person. It means you are a practical person.” - Eleanor Beaton

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• Common biases in place at many organizations.
• Why promotions aren’t always based on your skills, abilities, or qualifications.
• The importance of standing out in your organization and how it can lead to getting promoted.
• The importance of maximizing status differences and its impact on getting promoted.
• The difference between how men and women “stand out” in their organizations.
• The importance of owning your accomplishments instead of seeking validation.
• How to effectively, constructively, and strategically communicate your accomplishments.
• How to be identified as a high-potential employee.
• The importance of taking control of your life, your career, and your personal development.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• “As a woman, sometimes our value of equality, egalitarianism, and meritocracy can sometimes hold us back from standing out.” - Eleanor Beaton
• “Results don’t actually You do.” - Eleanor Beaton
• “It is the act of owning your accomplishments and strategically and constructively communicating those accomplishments - that’s the win.” - Eleanor Beaton

My guest today is Amy Jo Kim. Amy has a background in neuroscience, computer science, and psychology and is an expert in the fields of video game design and online community architecture. She has been responsible for a wide variety of game designs such as The Sims and Ultima Online, and is well-known for her work in applying game design strategies and techniques into online and mobile services. Amy joins me on the show today to share how she helps entrepreneurs and innovators build their products faster, smarter, and innovate successfully through “game thinking,” the characteristics of highly successful innovations, and the insight she has learned from working with these products and services that can help other innovators and entrepreneurs launch their next big idea successfully.

“The process looks messy, alliterative, and half-baked while you are in the middle of it, but this is how innovation happens.” – Amy Jo Kim

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• What is “game thinking” and why you should think like a game designer
• What is “deep learning” and how it can help you work smarter and faster
• The common characteristics of successful innovations
• Having the humility to be genuinely curious about what works in your idea – as well as what doesn’t
• Doubling down on your super powers to get 10X results – 10 times faster
• The difference between your aspirations and your super powers
• Who you really need to talk to in the early stages of creating an innovative product or service
• How listening to your customers and clients can help you get innovative ideas for new products and services
• Iterating your core learning loop

What It Takes to Bring a Great Idea to Life:

1. Think like a scientist. Be able to hold a vision and be actively interested in what is wrong with your ideas.
2. Know what stage you are at and who to test your idea on.
3. Find the smallest bit of value – the starting point of your experience – and prototype that.

Mentioned in This Episode:

• Crossing the Chasm by Geoffrey Moore
• Innovation Diffusion Theory

4. Personal connections make a difference. Show up!

In previous episodes, we talked a lot about creating your 2017 goals and prosperity plans. Today, I want to share with you why it is critical that you – my fierce feminine leadership tribe – that you understand how to distort reality correctly to achieve your goals, dreams, and aspirations so they become possible and profitable.

The right way to distort reality is to believe that your dreams are possible.

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• You need to think of things – not as they are – but as they could be.
• Entrepreneurs have to have a certain level of reality distortion in order to create great things and take risks to make their dreams real.
• Ignore the nay-sayers. Trust in yourself and your dreams.
• The wrong way to distort reality is to grossly underestimate what it takes to get where you want to go.
• If you want to create great results, you must be willing to invest the time and work it takes to get things done.

2 Rules of Reality Distortion:

1. Believe your dreams are possible.
2. Don’t underestimate what is required to achieve your dreams.

So, how do you make the switch from amateur, to professional?

Today, I explain the difference between being an amateur and a pro, what it means to play “below the line,” and how playing below the line impacts your results as a powerhouse female leader. I share strategies to help you identify the amateur moments in your professional career as well as how to overcome them to begin playing at a higher level. I also explain why it’s critical for fierce feminine leaders to identify what they want in their careers while consistently showing up as highly-ambitious professionals that are dedicated to pursuing and achieving their goals.

“The master makes everything looks effortless... amateurs look rushed.” - Eleanor Beaton

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• The importance of showing up as a professional - consistently.
• The qualities of a highly-ambitious professional.
• How to commit to being a professional.
• What it means to play “below the line” as a professional.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• “A professional shows up consistently, day after day. She is committed to the work that she does and she shows up consistently - even on the days she might not feel like it.” - Eleanor Beaton
• “The people who get the results are the ones who have that ability to consistently identify when they are playing below the line and get themselves back up..” - Eleanor Beaton

On today’s episode, I want to talk to you about the things that many ambitious women say about themselves and how they “show up” in today’s modern business world. After all, the way you show up, the things you say about yourself, and the confidence you have about yourself and your accomplishments is often the lasting impression that other people remember about you.

Diminishing ourselves can become an unfortunate habit that reinforces itself.

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• Showing up authentically and with power
• The difference between being dishonest with yourself about your abilities and being intentional about how you show up to others
• The power of being confident in yourself, your abilities, and your accomplishments

Effort, hard work, dedication, and perseverance can get our foot in the door, but it won’t get you to the front of the line.

So, what is it that can put you at the front of the line for that next promotion or the big speaking opportunity you’ve been dreaming about? In one word – sponsors – powerful, connected people within your organization or industry that can open the doors of opportunity for you.

On today’s episode, I’m going to share with you the difference between a mentor and a sponsor and how connecting with a sponsor can help you make the quantum leaps you desire in your business or career in 2017.

Sponsors are like the ladders in a game of Snakes and Ladders.

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• Research shows that women focus more on connecting with role models than connecting with sponsors.
• What’s the difference between a mentor and a sponsor?
• Sponsors are your allies – not your friend. You work together to help each other advance in your careers.
• How to find a sponsor in your organization or industry to help you advance your business or career.

My Challenge to You:

• Find a sponsor.
• Look beyond your mentors.
• Remember: Sponsorship is earned.

So, how do you increase your productivity as a highly-ambitious, fierce feminine leader?

Today, I’m sharing the top five reasons you are not as productive as you could be as well as tips on how to boost your productivity to become a better leader. I explain how envisioning where you want your life and business to go impacts your productivity and the importance of finding the right strategy to help you focus and reach your goals. I also explain the difference between emotional support and practical support, how taking moments of periodic intensity helps you become more productive, and why trying to be all things to all people is one of the biggest mistakes a leader can make and how it can ultimately kill your productivity.

“We’re all looking for ways to be better, to improve, to do more with less - to be more productive.” - Eleanor Beaton

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• The difference between being efficient and being productive.
• How your vision fuels your productivity.
• Strategies to help you reconnect with your vision and self-identity.
• How the areas you focus on and the strategies you use impact your productivity.
• The difference between emotional support and practical support.
• What periodic intensity is and how it helps increase your productivity.
• How mastering the art of saying ‘no’ allows you to be more productive and focus on the win-win opportunities.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• “Productivity is the amount of leveraged and focused energy that you can apply to results-producing activities.” - Eleanor Beaton
• “In the absence of a clear vision, you are a ship without a rudder.” - Eleanor Beaton
• “It is really important that we are able to lay down strong boundaries - to articulate what our agenda is, to find opportunities to collaborate and work together - but be able to say ‘NO’ when it is not a win-win situation.” - Eleanor Beaton

She shares how our wardrobe often effects not only the way we think and feel about ourselves on a personal level, but also how we present ourselves to the world and build our businesses on a professional level.

Today, Daniela shares lessons she has learned from her experiences of running a business internationally and insight into the art of the deal. She emphasizes why it is important to make human resources decisions from a business standpoint first and explains how much of her HR work mirrors the process of mergers and acquisitions. She also shares the strategies she used to get HR representation at the decision-making table.

“If HR can focus on building a compelling place to work, they will be building a compelling place to shop, get a service from, whatever that company offers - which in turn, is going to be a compelling place to invest.” - Daniela Tixi

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• Why her approach to human resources is not the norm.
• How she knew social media would change HR.
• Why she believes it is important to apply marketing and sales principles internally.
• Why it’s important to make HR decisions as a business person first and then as an HR specialist.
• Why she decided to leave the corporate world and start her own
• How she transforms organizations using human capital strategies.
• Why she likens HR work to working on mergers and acquisitions.
• The most important thing a company can do to maintain high performance of its teams through a merger and acquisition or period of disruptive growth.
• The success strategies she recommends for midlevel HR employees to be successful and innovative in the field.
• How she made changes in the boardroom to give human resources a seat at the decision-making table.
• Why her forecasts were more accurate than the CFOs.
• Why building credibility and relationships are key for HR personnel to become a true partner in the business.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• “The most important thing is to make all the HR decisions first as a business person, then as an HR strategic specialist.” - Daniela Tixi
• “You need to stay agile. You need to stay really open-minded and you need to have a very good understanding of the industry and how the industry is affecting the workers and the market.” - Daniela Tixi
• “If an HR decision doesn’t lead to business growth, don’t even consider it.” - Daniela Tixi

The “Rob and Duplicate” concept can significantly impact the way others perceive you, your company, and your brand. It can be detrimental to the impact you want to make in the world and can significantly tarnish your reputation.

On today’s episode, I explain the three reasons why people may copy your work, what you can do if you catch yourself copying someone else’s ideas, and how to protect yourself against copycats. I explain the difference between copying and modeling and how you can identify when you are copying someone else or simply modeling their process or idea. I also share how I handled a copycat situation last year when I realized my work was being copied by someone else.

“If you are truly being uniquely you - if you are truly on a mission to become preeminent in your space - you cannot be preeminent and copy other people.” - Eleanor Beaton

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• The benefits and drawbacks of creating new things based on your ideas and knowledge.
• The primary reason high-performers copy others.
• How “Robbing and Duplicating” can hurt your business or career.
• How copying others can impact your reputation.
• My experience with dealing with copycats.
• The importance of identifying when you are copying someone else.
• The importance of identifying why you are copying someone.
• The difference between copying and modeling.
• How to prevent copying other people’s work or ideas.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• “When you copy someone else, you will always be second-class.” - Eleanor Beaton
• “When you are being the best, truest version of yourself; when you are being most authentic and bold, it is impossible for people to copy you.” - Eleanor Beaton
• “Anybody who creates things - the risk of doing that is that it could be copied. The benefit is that you get to have the impact that you are here to make.” - Eleanor Beaton

“As a leader, it’s really important to be authentic, and to be vulnerable, and to be human. I think if you’re able to tap into that focus on storytelling, it makes it so much easier to be yourself and to show up in the way that you want to.” - Gina Jeneroux

Gina Jeneroux’s 3 Steps to Harness the Power of Stories:

1. Focus on the audience.
2. Identify what success looks like in every situation.
3. Think about the story you need to tell that links the audience to that success.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• “I think that if you’ve had a really eclectic background and you’re always jumping in to work with people who have very different backgrounds from you, it means that you’re actually coming to better solutions and you’re thinking about things differently. And I think it shakes things up in a really positive, healthy way.” - Gina Jeneroux
• “Curiosity helps you be a little bit more grounded and a little bit more zen about the things that will work out phenomenally and the things that won’t.” - Gina Jeneroux
• “It’s not just about learning for their job or learning for their career, but even encouraging them to learn for their passions because I think passion is really critical in how you’re able to engage with people.” - Gina Jeneroux

It’s easy to get caught up in daily tasks and neglect the goals we have set for ourselves. Sometimes fear or uncertainty cause us to procrastinate, and we need to shift our mindset to stay on track. Sometimes we lack the accountability we need to meet our goals. Whatever the reason we lose focus, there are strategies we can implement to realign ourselves with our goals and retrain our focus on the important work instead of the busy work.

In today’s episode, I share five strategies I have consistently used to stay focused on my goals. I explain how I combine mindset work with organization to achieve the best results. I describe the benefits of continuous learning and how having a coach for accountability has helped propel my business forward. I also explain how vital it is to build a team who you can outsource your decisions to preserve your willpower.
