Reshma Saujani began her career as an attorney, but in 2010, she became the first Indian American woman to run for U.S. Congress. As part of her congressional race, she visited local schools and realized there was a marked gender gap in technology classes, which led her to start Girls Who Code, an international nonprofit organization working to close that gap. Reshma is also the author of Brave, Not Perfect, an international bestselling book that shares a collection of personal stories and powerful insights and strategies to end perfectionism and embrace bravery.

Reshma joins me today to discuss how to step out of a prestige position and begin the journey towards what you are meant to do. She explains how her failed U.S. Congress bid helped her to recognize that vulnerability and humiliation are powerful lessons in living your truth and can ultimately help you in the pursuit of your dreams. Reshma also shares how she has developed as a leader and CEO of Girls Who Code over the past seven years and how she foresees women grasping power in the technology industry.

Do you feel that the vision for your business is just out of reach? Or maybe you know what you want to achieve as a leader but don't know how to get there. If you’re feeling ‘blocked’ in moving your business to the next stage, it helps to clarify whether you’re in the implementation or transformation phase. Whether you need to plan and strategize to level up or look inward and focus on letting the vision percolate is the question that needs to be answered.

 

Today, I discuss how to recognize where you are in your professional journey and ways to identify the next steps you need to take without succumbing to frustration. I explain the importance of listening to what your inner voice is telling you and giving yourself the time and space to let your next epic project take root without mistaking the process for procrastination. I also share my experience as a coach and mentor, of the importance of getting to a personal state of readiness for the next phase.

 

 

“Allow yourself to be supported. Allow yourself the patience to bring this thing to the next phase” - Eleanor Beaton

 

 

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

 

  • The difference between implementation and transformation
  • Why personal transformation is essential to developing your success as a business leader
  • How to nurture the process of transformation
  • The importance of being patient during the transformation phase
  • Why a supportive team is critical when you’re in the transformation stage
  • How to create momentum in the implementation phase
  • Why you need to ignore social conditioning that prioritizes forward movement
  • How to enjoy the process of moving from transformation to implementation

For many entrepreneurs, scaling your business often means adding new services, hiring more staff, or investing in new tools. And while these are all important for successfully taking your business to the next level, they also require a certain level of financial investment. So how can you continue to grow your organization - and your revenue - without significantly impacting your cashflow?

Keep Reading >>

 

Through internally driven growth.

 

In today’s episode, I explain what internally driven growth is and why we need to focus on the ingredients for success that we already have to maximize our reach and revenue. I explain why the essential processes are internal rather than external and how to optimize and unlock the resources that you already have to power-up your business and create growth. I also share the two key strategies for true women leaders and CEOs who want to unlock cash with the optimization of resources and tapping into their knowledge bank.

 

 

 

“Internally generated growth is not sexy, but it’s key in moving into being a true CEO.” - Eleanor Beaton

 

 

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

 

  • How to look to your own knowledge bank for internally driven growth
  • How our consumer-driven culture impacts us as entrepreneurs
  • What it means to ‘unlock your resources’
