Are you waiting to tick all the boxes before you call yourself an expert? You’re so not alone and it’s holding you back from living your impact! My Hidden Figures research exposed that women often lack clarity on what boxes they needed to tick to become an expert which left them feeling like what they had was never enough. This week's podcast episode is Part 3 in our Hidden Figures: Where are all the female expert series to celebrate the launch of my groundbreaking white paper of the same name. We're going to unpack the second theme presented in the research: How much is enough? Together we'll explore what enough looks like to publicly own your expertise, why women struggle with defining enough, and how you can overcome this innate need to tick all the boxes before you feel ready to put yourself out there as an expert. If you're ready to challenge your relationship with the word expert and use it as the pathway to creating the impact you seek this episode was made for you.

📢🚨Stop what you're doing 📢🚨 I don't know if you've heard, but there's a new episode OUT NOW from We're Not OK: A Community of Healing. Ep. 10: She (Been) Ready Guest: Dr. Wendi Williams Listen: https://lnkd.in/ewiC7KzH Key Episode Takeaways: - Black Women's Liberatory Leadership (BWeLL) Praxis - Her podcast, She (Been) Ready - Black Women at Work - Solidarity and Leadership Among Women - How Institutions Utilize Women in the Workplace Below, Dr. Williams talks with Antija A. and I about the adoption of trends like #letblackwomenlead by organizations, but how this sometimes only translated to the presence of Black women, without allowing their voices to thrive. Despite what is presumed to be good intentions, there's still a major gap in providing spaces for women to offer their own approaches to leadership in the workplace. When we talk about the differences of diversity and inclusion, the difference between making someone feel valued and just checking a box, this is what we mean.
