The Confidence Track

Is "loneliness at the top" a myth? I searched the term "lonely at the top" on LinkedIn and it surprised me how many stated that it's a myth. Notably, looking at their profiles, many who stated that it's a myth are coaches who don't show a history of working in corporate. It's easy to call something a myth when you've never experienced it. As a former director of a Fortune 300 company - I experienced it. It was very real for me. If it's real for someone, it shouldn't be dismissed. Instead of being dismissed, it should be recognized and addressed. My goal is to support women in their leadership confidence. That includes feeling supported and having a place to turn to when they feel alone. Do you think "lonely at the top" is a myth? Share your thoughts below. I have a program in the works that will help address the leadership loneliness and isolation - coming out in 2025. Stay tuned! #womensleadership #lonelyatthetop #leadershiploneliness #leadershipcoach

Imposter Syndrome - a topic I'm very passionate about! I was honored to facilitate a workshop in Minneapolis for 82 amazing women recently and will be giving a webinar on this topic to 200 people today. Imposter Syndrome thrives in the dark. If we don't talk openly about it, it can grow stronger and become harder to manage. My goal is to open up the conversation so we can talk through it and support one another. If you'd like to open up the conversation for those in your organization, please reach out. We can do this together! #impostersyndrome #imposterism #beatimpostersyndrome #impostorsyndrome #leadershipcoach #womensleadership #speaker

Deep down you know you're capable. But when you were given more responsibility, your thoughts played a game with you. "I have no idea what I'm doing. Can I do this?" You were given that opportunity because others see your potential. Not because they assumed you know all the answers. When they see you have potential, they know you are resourceful and inquisitive enough to ask the right questions and pull in the right people to figure it out. Your success doesn't need to secretly feel like a burden. Let that go, and relish in the fact that someone believes in you enough to give you such an opportunity. Know that you will learn, grow, figure it out, and then help someone else along someday. Everyone starts somewhere. You're right where you need to be. Please share for all of those who need to hear this message. Follow me, Lisa Hinz, CPC for leadership motivation and insights. #selfbelief #confidence #leadershipcoach

Confidence is the path to who you want to become. When you "Practice It Until You Become It" (see my post from yesterday), you are building confidence, which is the language of your future self. I help people find and walk that path. When they find it, it's liberating... Motivating... Empowering... And who doesn't want to feel that way? You've got this. #confidence #leadershipcoach #confidencecoach #selfbelief #powerofthoughts

I've never been a big fan of "fake it till you make it." Why? Because you're not faking it. You're practicing. You're learning. That's a big difference when it comes to mindset. You become your thoughts, so if you feel you're a fake, guess what? You're likely to continue believing you're a fake. And is that what you want? Likely not. I prefer "Practice It Until You Become It." You're working on your skills. You're learning and refining. And by doing so you are taking a step closer to reaching your greatest potential. There's no faking involved because you're actually doing it. Keep practicing, my friend. Because you are becoming what you are meant to be... Please share if you found value in this.

Self-advocacy isn't just a short-term strategy or something confined to the workplace, it's a crucial life skill. Throughout my career, I've learned the immense value of speaking up for myself. One of the most pivotal moments for me was when I decided to make my career aspirations known to higher level executives within the company. It was intimidating, but I knew I had to express the path I was interested in. I scheduled a meeting with a senior executive and laid out my vision for where I wanted to go and how I could contribute at higher levels within the organization. That conversation not only gave me clarity but also positioned me as someone serious about my career trajectory. It did pay off. Self-advocacy is about much more than just career advancement. It's about confidently voicing your needs, desires, and boundaries in all areas of life. Whether it's negotiating a salary, discussing your future with leadership, advocating for your personal needs, or even navigating relationships—knowing how to advocate for yourself is empowering. Your voice is powerful. Don't wait for opportunities to come to you—create them by speaking up. Advocate for your dreams, your ideas, and your well-being. It might feel daunting at first, but the long-term benefits are immeasurable. If you've had experiences where self-advocacy made a difference in your life, I'd love to hear them. Let's inspire each other to be our own best advocates in every aspect of our lives. #SelfAdvocacy #Leadership #WomenInLeadership #LifeSkills #Empowerment
