Finding Your Leadership Voice: Women Stepping into Leadership
Starting a new leadership role comes with fear, challenges, unknowns, the need to prove you're worthy of the position - either being promoted at the same company or starting at a new company. Managing former peers also has its challenges. And the recurring question is: How to be and do better? What tends to come up, and what we can work through to build clarity, self-awareness, and confidence: * Understanding and owning the position, the identity shift * Finding your tone and leadership style * Delegating to people who used to be your peers * Managing high achievers and competitive dynamics * Giving feedback and managing performance * Dealing with conflict within and across relationships; ethical or moral dilemmas * Managing stakeholder dynamics * Making the call without second-guessing yourself
What's included
- You're no longer performing the role — you're in it, no longer feeling like an imposter. You know what's expected, you've found your leadership style, and the dynamic with your former peers has shifted from awkward to workable.
- You can delegate to a friend without it being a negotiation, handle conflict without avoiding it, and navigate the relationships within your firm without it being the thing that keeps you up at night.
