✅Tip Tuesday: This week, I want to talk about the power of advocacy. 👉🏾Sometimes, we hesitate to ask for what we truly deserve—whether it's a raise, recognition, or support. 👉🏾But here’s the truth: advocating for yourself is necessary and powerful. This week’s tip is twofold: 1️⃣ Advocate for yourself. Don't hold back. If you feel you're doing extra work or deserve more, speak up. You have every right to ask for what you’ve earned. 2️⃣ Advocate for others. When a colleague stands up for themselves, back them up. Stand together. The strength of a team that supports each other is unstoppable. ✅It’s vital to stand firm in your own worth, but it’s equally important to show up for the people around you. #TipTuesday #SelfReflection #leadership #leadershipcoach #executivecoach

Here’s a secret I wish I knew sooner: putting yourself first is everything. ⏩Many of us weren’t taught this. We’ve spent a lifetime putting others’ needs before our own.

More energy, clarity, the ability to set clear boundaries, and the confidence to be my best self. ✅Now, it’s your turn. 🔥Choose one thing today that’s just for you. It could be saying no to something that drains you or taking a moment to center yourself.

✅Tip Tuesday: Don’t Push Down Your Feelings – Feel and Express Them! 👉🏾I’ve been reflecting on moments in my life when I felt shocked, disappointed, or gutted. 👉🏾In the past, my go-to was always to push those feelings down, to keep moving forward, and not deal with them. But this time, I’ve learned something different. 👉🏾What if, instead of burying those emotions, we let ourselves feel them fully? 👉🏾Last week, I found unexpected community simply by expressing how I was feeling. 👉🏾It was a powerful reminder that there are others who are going through the same thing, and by sharing, we create a space to heal together. This week’s step: 1️⃣Don’t suppress your emotions. 2️⃣Take the time to acknowledge and express them. 3️⃣Reach out and find your community—whether it’s friends, colleagues, or support groups. ✅It’s okay to lean into your feelings and find strength in shared experiences. ✅Happy Tip Tuesday!

But have you stopped to consider why that happened? 👉🏾Did the opinions of others cloud your judgment? 👉🏾Did you rush into it without listening to your intuition? 👉🏾It’s time to change that narrative. ✅What if you took a moment to pause and reflect? ✅Ask yourself: How will this decision truly serve me? ✅This week’s step: Before making your next decision, slow down. 1️⃣Take time to gather your thoughts, weigh your options, and trust your instincts. 2️⃣Write down your considerations to create clarity and confidence in your choice. 🙂Happy Tip Tuesday!

Intuition is real. As women of color leaders, you navigate unique challenges that can sometimes drown out your inner voice. It’s easy to second-guess your instincts, but your intuition is a powerful tool that can guide you in making decisions that align with your true self and aspirations.

Write down your insights and feelings, paying attention to the energy surrounding you. This practice will empower you to connect with your inner guidance. Trust your instincts and let your intuition pave the way for your leadership journey! #motivationmonday #leadership #leadershipcoaching #executivecoaching
