  • "Being the sidekick in your own story isn’t just about staying in the background—it’s about letting your doubts and fears dictate your actions. And that’s why it’s so important to recognise when those fears are holding you back, and to challenge them."

    Episode Overview:
    In this episode of Her Leadership Coach, we’re diving into the concept of the hero’s journey and how it applies to leadership. While many of us are familiar with the idea of the hero in movies and books, what happens when we bring that concept into our own lives? For many women, stepping into the hero role can feel daunting, and we often find ourselves playing the sidekick instead. Rochelle shares her thoughts on why this happens, personal stories from her leadership journey, and how to find the balance between stepping up and stepping back.

    Takeaways:

    Why so many women feel more comfortable in the sidekick role and the cultural and personal reasons behind it.Leadership is not about always being in the spotlight—it’s about recognising when it’s your time to step up and when it’s time to let others shine.Your inner saboteur can keep you from being the hero of your own journey, but recognising and challenging that voice can lead to growth and empowerment.Sometimes being a great leader means stepping back and allowing others to take the lead, creating a more powerful and effective team dynamic.

    Call to Action: Reflect on where you’ve been playing the sidekick in your own life or career. What would it look like if you stepped into the hero role? How would that change your approach to leadership?

    Four key behaviors of inspirational leaders: compelling rationale, motivating purpose, effective communication, and genuine recognitionFour common barriers to inspirational leadership: analysis gaps, communication gaps, humility gaps, and confidence gapsThe importance of embracing challenges and setbacks as opportunities for growthThe value of continuous leadership development and self-awareness

    In today's episode, I'm shaking things up by answering some of the questions you’ve sent my way.

    We'll dive into three key topics that I know many of you are grappling with:

I'll guide you through how to shift from judgment to empathy and how powerful questions can uncover the root of the issue. We’ll also talk about how to stay grounded when negativity feels personal.

    Being Authentic Under Pressure: Authenticity is a buzzword, but what does it really mean? We’ll discuss the pressure to conform, how to stay true to your values, and finding a balance between being authentic and adaptable. I’ll give you some steps to help you express your true self while still considering the context you're in.

  • "Everything that we do, we have put out there internally first. So everything starts inside."

    Linda Yates' insightful conversation with Rochelle on this weeks episode informs us that effective communication is an inside out, and outside in, job.  One of the key highlights from the discussion is Linda's emphasis on the "embodied condition" – the powerful influence our chosen attire can have on our mindset, behavior, and how others perceive us. Linda also talks about how effective communication also includes a strong sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance.This reinforces the notion that communication truly is an "inside and outside job," requiring alignment between our internal thoughts, emotions, and the image we project externally. 

    Linda shared a personal anecdote about catching herself in a moment of self-criticism and reframing it with a gentle, understanding response as a poignant example of how we can diffuse negative self-talk and cultivate greater self-love. As Linda wisely notes, "If you talk to yourself like your best friend, then you're going to give yourself empowering messages." Techniques like mirror work, journaling about accomplishments, and consciously celebrating one's strengths can be invaluable tools for women seeking to build their confidence and authenticity as leaders.
