    19: The power of your voice as a Leader

    · Better Leader Growth Podcast

    So, let's get personal for a moment.

    đŸ—Łïž How do you feel about your own voice? Really think about it.

    If you're anything like me, there have been times when listening to a recording of yourself made you squirm a bit. But here's the thing: as a leader, your voice isn't just something you use—it’s something that defines you.

    It's not about whether you have the perfect radio voice; it's about how you use what you've got to connect, influence, and lead with confidence.

    Your voice is more than just sound waves; it's the gateway to your "sympathy score" and your "confidence score." It’s not just about the words you choose but how those words are delivered.

    Let’s explore why your voice is more important in leadership than you might have realized.

    Have you ever hesitated to set boundaries because you were afraid it would make you look "not so nice"?

    Maybe you've worried that asserting yourself might make people see you as harsh, unapproachable, or even unlikable. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

    Many leaders, especially in the fast-paced world of tech, find themselves stuck in the niceness trap—believing that to be liked, they have to be agreeable, accommodating, and, above all, nice.

    But here’s the thing: Being nice doesn't mean being a doormat. In fact, true leadership often requires the opposite. Let's dig into the world of Niceness...

    Imagine building a team so resilient that challenges become fuel rather than roadblocks. Imagine yourself equipped to navigate the tech landscape's inevitable ups and downs with clarity and focus. That's the power of resilience, and it's more important than you might think.

    As a tech leader, I've seen firsthand how uncertainty can shake even the strongest teams. During a particularly unstable period, with lay-offs looming large, I noticed something great.

    My team kept performing at a high level compared to others. When I asked why, the answer was clear: they didn't sense the same tension or pressure.

    Despite the external shaky events, they felt a sense of belonging, calm and focus within our team dynamic. This experience taught me the profound impact of a resilient leader, not just on their own well-being, but on the entire team's ability to weather any storm.

    2: Savvy Leaders in Tech Do This Instead of Work-Life Balance

    · Better Leader Growth Podcast

    I can tell you that the search for balance is important for me. More specifically since I've realised my tendency to overdo it at work until being close to burning myself out. Twice.

    Has this happened to you already?

    The notion of work-life balance is, in my opinion, pretty blurry and still, it always seems to be the holy grail to achieve.

    But how are you supposed to find balance in a constantly evolving and changing world? With the overwhelming list of never-ending to-dos? With kids crying in the background? With performance pressure? With conflicts within the team?

    I used to find the perfect balance when I was on holidays, sipping a fresh coconut on the beach. Was it really balance though? On holidays, there is no more work (normally) so It’s not truly balancing work-life : do you see what I mean?

    Let’s check what balanced leaders do instead of chasing work-life balance.
