Creating a safe environment in workplaces is crucial for addressing challenges and celebrating successes. That’s how to change from being a “good” leader, to a “great” leader.   My good friend Gretchen Schott invited me on her podcast, #MadeForImpact, to explore different strategies into building authentic and vulnerable teams. We discuss how leaders can model these behaviors, creating a psychologically safe space where every voice matters, and more.   Thank you, Gretchen, for bringing me on the show. #LeadershipDevelopment #TeamSuccess #VidaAventura #ImpactfulLeadership #ThreefoldExcellence

We're also continuing the theme of Feminine energy vs. Masculine energy, specifically in leadership. A few highlights:   > Why trying to lead like a man is a waste of your unique talents as a woman. > How to identify and lead from your personal values, even when they conflict with external expectations. > The importance of overcoming your fear of failure in order to take risks and reach new levels of success. > Why success and failure actually go hand in hand, and how to reframe failure as part of success, not the opposite. > How to practice self-leadership and tune into your own needs and desires as you navigate your leadership journey. It’s all on Episode #28 of Ambitious-ish: Feminine Leadership: How to Lead with Authenticity and Confidence. Click here to listen: https://lnkd.in/gjj7F9HB
