Hey Sis!

There are Three simple rules in life.

I. If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it.

2. If you don't ask, you shall not receive!

3. If you don't step forward, you will stay in the same place.

So Let’s Go Sis! 🔥

The question is what does having a seat at a table really mean?

Unfortunately and often, the "seat" is really not "at the table" but at quite a distance from it.

There use to be a time when I was at the table but my voice wasn’t heard. It wasn’t up to the CEO to include me but it was my responsibility to ensure they understood my worth and how vital I was to the organization.

Once I figured it out, it changed the game for me but for some, it makes the role unattractive because it’s uncomfortable.

Despite receiving invitations to sit at the table from CEOs, some women are apathetic and unenthusiastic about the “opportunities." Because they are being asked to play small.

My advice to all the women out there who resonate:

Know Your Worth!! The only permission you need in order to stop playing small is your own. And hence, when the opportunity is small, ask for it to become big! .

Stay engaged, persistent and navigate the barriers. You should never feel like you must “earn" a seat if you are at the right position level and expertise. The seat belongs to you just as much as it belongs to your peer.

✨Tip of the Day

5 Ways Top Leaders Overcome Adversity

1. Determination
2. Take Responsibility
3. Treat Negative Feedback as a Gift
4. Focus on Your Strengths
5. Identify New Goals

If I tell you becoming a leader is glamorous, I would be misleading you. As I personally climbed the career ladder, I met adversity at each rung of the ladder.

It was my DETERMINATION that wouldn’t let me quit. My dad’s famous word’s were “Nothing BEATS failure but a TRY.

So I took the responsibility to create my own success by taking the NEGATIVE FEEDBACK as a gift and turning it into a positive.

I knew my WORTH so I set GOALS, found a MENTOR and used my STRENGTHS to overcome the barriers that were placed before me.

Becoming a Leader and getting that SEAT at the TABLE doesn’t happen over night. Your PERSEVERANCE, PLANNING, and FAVOR makes room for you at the table.

Be encouraged because your time is coming for you to have the CAREER you desire, earn the INCOME you deserve, and live the LIFESTYLE of your dreams.

Leaders act as a guide for employees and organizations. An effective leader motivates, empowers, and inspires employees to become high performers and overall high functioning teams for the organization.

Successful leaders are highly effective communicators. Their ability to communicate is essential to the growth of their teams and ultimately the organization.

Tip of the Day: Effective Communication

There are 5 Communication Styles:

✅Passive (used when someone is being aggressive)

✅Assertive (the most recommended style in a business setting)

✅Aggressive (should be avoided in most cases)

✅Manipulative (should be steered toward assertive)

🚫Passive-Aggressive (NEVER USE)

How you communicate can affect the message intended and will drive the outcome.

There are times when you may need to use different styles based on the person you are communicating with. There is NEVER a time the Passive-Aggressive style should be used as it creates very toxic environments.

You determine the best method and the right time….

“We need to accept that we don’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes. Understand that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.” - Arianna Huffington

Understand the various leadership styles and learn which one resonates with you. Swipe left to read:

1. Autocratic leadership is defined by a top-down approach when it comes to all decision-making, procedures, and policies within an organization.

2. Transactional leadership - is defined by control, organization, and short-term planning. Leaders who adopt this style rely on a system of rewards and punishment to motivate their followers.

3. Bureaucratic leadership - relies on a clear chain of command, strict regulations, and conformation by its followers. As the name implies, this is a leadership style that’s commonly found in government entities, as well as military and public organizations.

4. Charismatic leadership - is defined as a leader who uses communication skills, persuasiveness, and charm to influence others. Charismatic leaders, given their ability to connect with people on a deep level, are especially valuable within organizations that are facing a crisis or are struggling to move forward.

5. Transformational leaders - create a vision based on identified needs and guide their teams toward that unified goal through inspiration and motivation.

6. Coaching leadership - is a style defined by collaboration, support, and guidance. Coaching leaders are focused on bringing out the best in their teams by guiding them through goals and obstacles.

7. Democratic leadership - commonly known as participative leadership, is about letting multiple people participate in the decision-making process. This type of leadership can be seen in a wide range of contexts, from businesses to schools to governments.

8. Collaborative leadership - is focused on encouraging people to work together across functional and organizational boundaries. The purpose of this leadership style is to encourage collaboration with other teams and departments to accomplish shared goals.

9. Servant leadership - puts the needs and wellbeing of followers first. In other words, these types of leaders adopt a serve-first approach and growth mindset to prioritize their organization, employees, and community above themselves.

10. Laissez-faire leadership - takes a hands-off approach to leadership and gives others the freedom to make decisions. While leaders still provide their teams with the resources and tools they need to succeed, they remain largely uninvolved in the day-to-day work. This is a leadership style you’ll commonly find in creative settings, such as advertising agencies or startups, due to its encouragement of independent thinking. Article source: https://rpb.li/Ya2

Here are three things leaders can do to facilitate change management during mergers, acquisitions, or unexpected events:

1. Recognize you're going through a change -

Sounds simple, but many times, the self-awareness of what is going on around you can be challenging to recognize. Talk with front-line management and look out for communications from the leadership team to understand the why and how of the event. Then, spend time figuring out the best way to communicate and help your team with the change.

2. Communicate accurately about the change -

Leaders and managers need to be aware of how they’re talking about a particular change. Make sure the greater team understands what’s going on, and how their actions and discussions influence their staff and patients. Share the anticipated changes and how they can work with the leaders (physicians) to move effectively through the change positively. Describe to your teams how to reinforce the messaging to patients and vendors, even how to do it informally.

3. Lead with introspection -

The best leaders are very self-aware and lead with introspection, not authority. Navigating change isn’t easy, and those who lead through it best are people who understand their power and use it to help others feel safe. Physicians often aren’t aware of their innate, implied authority; thus, the leadership aspect of change management and leading with introspection is important.

Being skilled at change management is something all leaders and organizations need to take seriously and prioritize. With regular mergers, acquisitions, and other organizational changes, it is a standard part of the business world. The more prepared your leaders are to lead through change, the better the experiences your employees, customers, and patients will have.

“Leaders are not just born. Sure, some people are born with strong competencies and strengths for leading in certain situations, but it is very clear that leadership can also be developed. That means everyone can strengthen their skills and abilities to lead and influence.”—Dr. Susan Madsen

"Power isn't control at all - POWER IS STRENGTH, and giving that strength to others. A leader isn't someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own." — Beth Revis
