37. Owning your power as a female leader

Abundant Leaders with Tenji Moyana

29-08-2024 • 42 mins

It’s Women’s Month in South Africa and this episode is for the ladies! My fellow female leaders, it is time to heal our relationship with power so that we can rise up and have the influence we are here to have. In my journey as a leader, I have struggled to own my voice, take up space, stand in the spotlight with all eyes on me, and go against the grain. I’ve asked for permission instead of taking what is mine. And, heartbreakingly, I have coached so many C-suite women who struggle with the same thing. Imposter syndrome, low confidence and shrinking back is not our portion in life. It is our divine right to lead, to influence, and to want and have power without being shamed, judged or punished for it. In today’s episode, I take us on a journey that can help us heal our relationship with power so that we can have the leadership impact and experience the freedom that we were created for.

Topics discussed:

* How society sets women up to distrust our own power and judges us for wanting it

* What healthy power looks like and how vital it is to life

* Overcoming our unhelpful beliefs and stories about being a woman with power

* My story as a recovering permission-seeking, over-functioning people pleaser

* A few reflection questions that can help step into more of your power
