Influence & Impact for Leaders

Gone are the days when we could rely on our line manager to recognise our potential and plan for our career development.  In fact, I think that was always a bit of a myth anyway with the majority of workplaces.  But 2020 has shown us that the only person who has the headspace to think about your career development is you.  So, today’s episode of the Influence & Impact podcast is going to help you...

In this week’s episode of the Influence & Impact podcast for female leaders I am talking to Damian Corbet, author of The Social CEO about how social media can make you a stronger leader. We cover what it means to be a Social Leader, why as leaders we should be engaging in social media and how we can avoid some of the pitfalls.  We talk about having an authentic and credible voice online and reflec...

There are these unspoken rules about the world of work that most of us buy into without questioning.  One of those rules is that we don’t say no to our line manager or disagree with senior stakeholders.  As a result, people end up frustrated, overworked, and demotivated because they’ve never learnt how to challenge the thinking of senior stakeholders without challenging their authority.  They’ve n...

So much of what we do in life and at work is habitual. As author James Clear says, “the quality of our lives depends on the quality of our habits”. But habits can be hard to form and hard to break as they sit within the subconscious part of our brain.   In this episode of the Influence & Impact for Female Leaders podcast I’ll be teaching you how to can create new habits and break unhelpful old hab...

One of the things that female leaders struggle with the most is feeling a disconnect between their idea of what a leader should be and who they are.  In fact, many women avoid stepping into leadership roles because they don’t consider themselves to be leaders - when they’re actually doing a great job! I’m a huge fan of leading like a human. In this episode I’ll be sharing how you can develop a lea...

We are working at a time when we are constantly bombarded with things that need our attention.  Countless emails arriving in our inbox before we’ve had time to deal with yesterday’s emails, in back to back meetings all day barely stopping to grab some lunch, calls from senior colleagues with another new task or project for our to do lists. So, we get through it by diligently ticking things off our...

Even the most confident of female leaders can struggle to deal with negative or critical feedback.  When we are working really hard and doing our best such feedback can at best be demotivating and at worst really knock our confidence.  Many of us also let the words (and the stories we tell ourselves about those words) whirr around in our head for hours, if not days. But it is possible to hear nega...

Are you thinking about stepping up to the next level of leadership?  Perhaps the possibility of a promotion has been raised by your line manager. Maybe you’re finding yourself wishing you were the one making decisions rather than having to deal with the fallout from them.  Or perhaps you’re feeling ready to step out of your comfort zone and develop your career.  Whatever is motivating you, you’re...

I’m going to come right out and say it - mindset is the secret superpower of successful leaders.  Too many leadership books and books focus on the strategies and tactics of leadership without ever addressing the fact that you can have all the strategies in the world but if you don’t have the right mindset you’ll never be able to action them effectively. In this episode I am going to share with you...

If you’ve ever had a bullying boss or a manager who really knocked your confidence, then you’ll know that the impact of that doesn’t disappear when you leave that job. It can leave you full of self-doubt in your next role and make you super sensitive so that you see criticism and negative feedback in every statement your new boss makes. In today’s episode of Influence & Impact for female leaders y...
