The missions and visions we develop for our businesses matter. Developing a clear “why” can provide perspective and depth to a brand and provide momentum and clarity to our higher purpose in life. But what can happen if we are too hyperfocused on our mission without the proper structures and processes to back it up?

Keep Reading >>

Today, I share what aim conflation is and how it can arise within mission-driven businesses if leaders do not prioritize proper organizational structures and strategies first and foremost. I highlight the risks of being distracted by the enormity of your mission and how this can prevent you from building a truly effective business model. I also discuss how grounding your business in practical action can provide you with the capacity to give back and do more good in the world than ever before.

 

 

 

“It takes an unwavering faith and belief in the worthiness of your vision, in the validity of your ability to produce results, and in your ability as a leader to make the impossible happen.”- Eleanor Beaton

“What do you think of this idea?” Often in business, we as leaders ask our team for input on our proudest ideas before we have looked in the mirror and asked ourselves the very same question. By prioritizing “collaboration” over clarity, we lose focus on our vision and goals. This tendency is just one of the many ways that we, as female entrepreneurs, abdicate our power and prevent the company we birthed from becoming the brand of our dreams.

Keep Reading >>

Today, I share five specific ways that female entrepreneurs commonly abdicate their leadership power and examples of what this looks like in action. I discuss how limiting beliefs surrounding topics such as money, commitments, and whether to engage with the details can impact your business as well as how you can take your power back. I also provide insight into why it is crucial to make your intentions explicit so you can act in alignment with your vision and your word and lead from a place of clarity and purpose.

 

 

 

“The first way that we stop abdicating power is by allowing ourselves to become aware.”- Eleanor Beaton

Have you ever been in a meeting where one person takes over simply because they are the strongest, loudest voice in the room? If so, your team may be falling victim to the tyranny of chill. Often, we blame the assertive team member for their role in the team dynamic. In reality, however, situations like these indicate an abdication of power that begins at the leadership level.

 

Today, I share the detrimental impact of forfeiting your leadership power, in meetings and on a larger scale, and how you can stay on the right path even though the tyranny of chill is human nature. I discuss how the tyranny of chill arises, how it can impede your goals and the importance of expressing your intentions to achieve intentional outcomes. I also highlight a few examples of the tyranny of chill in action and how you start reclaiming your power and your leadership impact.

 

 

 

“When you abdicate power, you lose the connective thread between your vision and your outcome.” - Eleanor Beaton

 

 

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

 

  • What the tyranny of chill is and how it is taking over the business world
  • How the expectation of being laid-back gets in the way of performance
  • How the tyranny of chill can impact you as a leader
  • Default outcomes vs. intentional outcomes, and which one the tyranny of chill produces
  • A step-by-step analysis of how the tyranny of chill arises
  • Examples of the tyranny of chill in action
  • How the “strongest voice” and the “squeakiest wheel” play a role
  • Owning your power in leadership and what can happen if you don’t
  • Why the tyranny of chill is not okay, even if we have become accustomed to it
  • The importance of expressing your intentions to get intentional outcomes
  • How automation can aid in scaling a business
  • Common ways entrepreneurs abdicate their power and why
  • The difference between control and power
  • A leadership myth when it comes to diving into details
