Introverted leaders’ true advantage: 

→ High emotional intelligence (EQ) 

Research shows that introverted leaders 
have 2 key valuable assets: 

→ More innovative and engaged teams 
→ Higher employee and client retention 

8 Additional Benefits of Leaders with High EQ: 

1 / Authentic 
2 / Innovative 
3 / Empathetic 
4 / Deep Thinker 
5 / Active Listener 
6 / People-First Approach 
7 / Thoughtful Decision Maker 
8 / Openly Receptive to New Ideas 

When we embrace quiet leadership 
and share our authentic selves, 
others feel more comfortable 
doing the same. 

Often, this allows teams to thrive. 

Promoting innovation, 
collaboration, and engagement. 

And ultimately leads to increased 
employee and client retention. 

Paving the way for the company 
to achieve profound success. 

“People who have a high spiritual intelligence 
  don’t just read words. They read moods, 
  they read energy, they read vibes and 
  body language. Their senses are supreme. 
  They might not say much, but they 
  notice everything.” (Unknown source) 

Cheers to the introverts! 

Have introverted leaders made a difference 
in your life? 

I’d love to hear.

Luxury Brand Leader | Creating timeless brands for exclusive C-Suite, Founders, & Entrepreneurs | Founder of Lisse Élégance™ | Follow for Luxury Branding & Quiet Leadership insights

Run your own race. 

This is the mindset that most top 1% leaders embrace: 

(And it’s many top Luxury Brands’ philosophy) 

99% of people don’t realize the rest is just noise. 

I was talking to a multi-million dollar entrepreneur 
last week, who was struggling to gain visibility. 

My solution? 

It’s all about distinction 
and how you differentiate yourself. 

At times, we all feel it. 

Self-doubt 
Envious 
Stuck 
Lost 

Feeling like someone else’s life, career, 
or success is better than our own. 

But the harsh truth is that the grass 
is truly greenest where you water it. 

Here are 5 ways you can stop comparing yourself 
to others and start thriving: 

1 / Reality check 

     → What you see in front of you 
          is usually not the full picture 

     → Behind every “perfect” life is hard work 
          and challenges you don’t see 

     → Reflect: Would I really trade everything, 
          or just the highlight reel? 

2 / Invest in what truly moves the needle 

     → Invest in yourself instead of watching others 

     → Small daily wins ultimately grow into 
          profound success over time 

     → Set 1 small goal today, then celebrate it 

3 / Comparison detox 

     → Limit your time on social media 
          if it makes you feel inferior 

     → Follow people who inspire you, 
          not trigger you 

     → Track your own progress, 
          not someone else’s 

4 / Shift your mindset to gratitude 

     → When you envy someone, flip it: 
          Ask yourself: What am I grateful for? 

     → Write down 3 things you love 
          about your life right now 

     → Gratitude shifts focus from 
          scarcity to abundance 

5 / Focus on your own path 

     → Your path to success is unique, 
          it’s often not linear 

     → Comparing paths is a waste of energy, 
          instead use it to build your own path 

     → These are all yours - Your journey, 
          your timeline, your wins 

Life is a marathon, not a sprint. 

Fully appreciating what you have 
while relentlessly focusing on 
achieving your long-term goals 
ultimately builds momentum. 

Success and growth compound over time. 

It’s all about consistent effort. 

The best version of yourself 
is built by your daily choices. 

Invest in yourself and your own life consistently, 
and often success will naturally follow.

Own your unfair advantage. 

It can truly change your life. 

Your true power? 
→ No one is you 

This is how to differentiate yourself. 

As a person. 
And as a brand. 

Right before you’re about to succeed, 
the desire to quit is often the greatest. 

No matter how challenging it is, 
you will thank yourself later if you: 

Go all in. 
Keep going relentlessly. 
Persevere through adversity. 

Do it for you. 
Do it for your future self. 

You’re the only one who can: 

✨ Do what you’re meant to do 
✨ Build what you’re meant to build 
✨ Become who you’re meant to become 
 
Celebrate your victories. 

Every single one of them. 

→ Personal and professional 
→ Large and small 

No one else truly understands exactly 
what it took to achieve these victories. 

Kindly remember: 

There is a future version of you 
who is proud you didn’t give up. 

The most successful people are uniquely driven. 

Relentlessly focusing on achieving their dreams 
and becoming the person who their future selves 
would be proud of.

1 lesson I learned in Corporate + Entrepreneurship: 

→ Positive obsession is truly a gift 

(Contrary to popular belief) 

Never apologize for being obsessed. 

Being successful as an entrepreneur 
and as a high-performing leader 
requires emotional intelligence 
and mastering the mentality 
of a great athlete. 

It’s all about fully accepting 
that there are seasons in life. 

And being willing to live a few years like 
most people won’t so that they can spend 
the rest of their lives like most people can’t. 

So, when people criticize you for being 
a relentless overachiever in your pursuits… 

Like: 

Staying in the gym for 3 hours 
Pulling an all-nighter for your business 
Reading your new book for the entire day 
Finessing every detail of your design/product 

Just remember… 

Positive obsession is a gift. 

Not a behavior to be suppressed. 


✨ Always strive for excellence ✨ 


What are you passionately obsessed with? 

I’d love to hear.

Executive presence begins with a calm mind 
and emotional intelligence. 

Most leaders don’t realize the quiet power 
of a calm mind and how it: 

Clears the noise 
Sharpens your thoughts 
Helps you lead with quiet strength 

I was talking to a young 6-figure entrepreneur 
about how a calm mind and emotional intelligence 
ultimately leads to executive presence 
and quiet confidence. 

They are the foundation of great leadership 
and true luxury. 

The calmer you are, the clearer you think.  

(From what I’ve learned along the way 
  both in entrepreneurship and corporate)

You stop reacting. 

And instead, you start making thoughtful decisions 
with peaceful precision. 

Quiet leadership doesn’t chase attention. 

It earns trust and respect. 

And luxury isn’t always what you wear or drive. 

Sometimes, it’s the calm you embrace. 

Stillness is a status symbol. 

One that is truly timeless.

At a young age, this 1 fact changed my life: 
▪️Your mindset affects everything 

Continually mastering emotional intelligence 
is what has carried me through (still to this day). 

It’s one of the most powerful skills 
people can have. 

How you show up 
How you perceive the world 

Ultimately shapes your entire reality. 

And can truly impact others’ reality. 

Showing up with genuine kindness is transformative. 

And costs you nothing. 

Adjusting how you respond to things 
that you feel are sent to disrupt 
your inner peace says a lot 
about your character. 

Subconsciously, you know that your actions 
speak louder than words. 

What you achieve in life is all about your mindset. 

Here are 3 lessons I’ve learned along the way: 

1/ Lead by example 

▪️Kindness and empathy go a long way. 
     They set the tone for how to treat others 
     and successfully collaborate. 


2/ Encourage growth 

▪️Elevate others by identifying 
     their strengths and weaknesses 
     and advocating for them. 


3/ Calmness, composure, and resilience 
     during a crisis are essential 

▪️They build confidence, trust, 
     and respect amongst others. 


What’s one lesson you’ve learned that has shaped 
your approach to life?

Luxury Brands win by creating movements. 

They elevate your lifestyle. 

A lifestyle that offers you true freedom. 

Here’s how building a luxury brand 
can change your life: 

▪️They are the authority. 
      They position themselves as the only choice 
      by setting themselves apart from 
      all of the noise. 

▪️They build trust by genuinely connecting 
      with people and their values.  

▪️They don’t just sell products/services. 
      Instead, they build brands that people 
      truly want to be a part of. 

Luxury Brands create a remarkably exclusive, 
cohesive experience. 

Here’s a 6-Step Branding Checklist 
to help you get started: 

1 / Define your Brand Strategy 
2 / Craft your Brand Story 
3 / Establish your Brand Voice 
4 / Design a Cohesive Visual Language 
5 / Build Brand Awareness 
6 / Engage & Measure 

Build a lifestyle, not just a Brand. 


Think about your brand. 

What excites you the most about building it?

You are always one decision away 
from a totally different life. 

Success is all about timing and taking action. 

It may come with isolation. 
It may come with adversity. 
It may come with discomfort. 

But ultimately when you design your own life, 
it leads to pure fulfillment. 

To true luxury. 

I learned this at a young age. 
 
My grandfather once told me something 
I will never forget. 

Every morning you have 2 choices: 

→ Continue to sleep with your dreams 
→ Wake up and chase them 

Opportunities are infinite. 

But they also expire…eventually. 

Would you rather have: 

↳ Option 1. Comfort Now → Discomfort Later 
↳ Option 2. Discomfort Now → Comfort Later 

A client of mine (fellow founder) mentioned 
feeling stuck continuously climbing 
the traditional career path. 

Feeling invisible. 
Feeling alone. 
Feeling lost. 

Not realizing what a different life could look like. 

Investing in himself by building an iconic brand 
and becoming an entrepreneur has allowed him 
to turn his dreams into a reality. 

And the freedom to create a life on his terms. 

Don’t wait until it’s too late. 

Start now. 

Design your own lifestyle 
and fulfillment will naturally follow. 

What option will you choose?

They say money can’t buy happiness. 

Fair point. Here’s the truth: 

Your brand can inspire it. 

It can build the luxurious lifestyle 
you’ve been imagining. 

Luxury isn’t just expensive. 
It’s emotional. 

Here’s how you can build a brand that feels rich 
(even beyond the price): 

Share a story 
→ People love feeling like they are a part 
     of the journey 

Design for emotion 
→ Make people feel something 
    (it’s all about human psychology) 

Sell the feeling, not the product/service 
→ People crave the feeling they experience  
     after receiving the outcome 

Every interaction matters 
→ Create delightful moments 
     (kind words, unpacking, luxurious details) 

Focus on making people feel seen 
→ People want to be invited into this world, 
     create a warm sense of belonging 

Luxury = meaningful impact + master craftsmanship 
→ When your brand feels like purposeful art, 
     people pay for more than a product/service 

After all, happiness isn’t guaranteed. 

It’s ignited and built by you. 

Create a luxury brand that builds a life 
you’re proud to lead. 

What’s one thing that would add 
happiness to your life?

Investing in your luxury brand = your ultimate freedom. 

During the early stages of entrepreneurship, 
you can feel like you’re lacking 2 important things. 

Time & Money 

With a strong luxury brand: 
How you spend your time is your decision. 
How you spend your money is your choice. 

The other day, I was talking to an entrepreneur 
who mentioned that they felt stuck and desperate. 

Desperate to make a lot of money. 
Desperate to succeed as fast as possible. 

The key? 

→ Help people by solving their challenges. 

Once you reframe your mindset 
and shift your focus from making money 
to creating value, money will naturally follow. 

This is where your luxury brand comes into play. 

Build authority. 
Define your vision. 
Live your mission, authentically. 

Remember: 

Money is a tool, not the goal. 
The goal is freedom. 

Richard Branson says it brilliantly: 

“Some entrepreneurs think how can I make 
  a lot of money? But the better way is to think 
  how can I make people’s lives a lot better? 
  If you get it right, the money will come.”  

It’s up to you. 

Remain invisible. 

Or 

Build an iconic luxury brand. 

Which one will you choose?

Entrepreneurship embraces a vision only you can see. 

And high emotional intelligence only you can build. 

It can be lonely 
It can be defeating 
It can be heart wrenching 

While at the same time, it can be 

Deeply aligning 
Immensely rewarding 
Truly fulfilling and heartfelt 

It all comes down to your mindset. 

And because of all of this, taking nothing personally 
has been my savior time and time again. 

2 things I’ve learned to distance from 
during this journey: 

1 / Caring what they think 
2 / Thinking that they care 

I’ve learned countless times that the true champions 
(the top 1%) adopt these 3 rare traits: 

▪️Resilience 
▪️Conviction 
▪️Determination 

All with the vision to ultimately achieve excellence. 

They keep going when no one is watching 
and no one is cheering them on. 

The reward isn’t in the recognition. 

It’s in who you’re becoming. 

Show up and stay in the game! 

Your future self will thank you. 

Who’s with me? 

How has taking nothing personally 
driven you closer to your dreams?

Luxury brands win by quietly whispering. 

They are champions with high standards of excellence. 

Here’s how ↓ 

They move in silence and deliver distinctly. 

When it comes to capturing attention: 

They are not loud. 
They don’t chase. 

They just show up and perform. 

With boldness 
With sophistication 
With unapologetic authenticity 

Their magnetic presence says it all. 

They give the world something worth talking about. 

Remember: 

Noise fades. 
True excellence lasts. 

Luxury brands elegantly embrace differentiation. 

They leave a timeless legacy. 

It’s not for everyone. 

It can be lonely at the top. 

What’s your next move?

Don’t miss your chance to own your brilliance. 
Limited spots available for 2025.

Most entrepreneurs feel invisible. 
They’re lost in a sea of noise. 

What they don’t realize? 

Their distinction is their signal. 

Their iconic signal. 

After speaking with a 6-figure entrepreneur 
1.5 weeks ago, she expressed that she (like many) 
secretly hates selling. 

She wants more freedom, more clarity, 
and a brand that speaks for her. 

She’s earned her impressive reputation, 
while scaling her business and balancing 
other ventures. 

But her digital brand narrative still felt generic. 

She thought she needed a large following to sell. 

But here’s the truth. 

It’s all about positioning. 

Positioning (when done right) sets you apart. 

If your brand world isn’t communicating 
trust, elegance, and authority… 

You’re leaving millions on the table. 

She didn’t need 200,000 followers to sell 
or another unoriginal, overused design. 

She needed to differentiate herself 
and a brand that reflected her true brilliance. 

Timeless. Sophisticated. Magnetic. Undeniable. 

For years, I've partnered with small start-ups 
without any branding as well as large world-class 
companies to elevate their brand presence. 

I’ve helped 6-8 figure high-level entrepreneurs 
and exclusive leaders step into that space. 

Where luxury is felt. 

Its quiet power rooted in something deeper. 

Where less says more. 
Where design becomes desire. 
Where people trust you before you speak. 

Many entrepreneurs are looking for a quick fix. 
Something they can do themselves 
and at their own pace. 

I’m working on something exciting 
that can quickly provide actionable next steps. 

And it needs to be customized to each individual. 

I've created a Luxury Brand Audit that shows you 
exactly what’s working, what’s not working, 
and what you can do next that can provide 
exponential results. 

I’m inviting 5 founders/CEO’s/entrepreneurs 
into a conversation to explore what’s missing 
in their brand presence and how to build a brand 
that commands premium pricing effortlessly. 

This is not to sell. It’s just to explore. 

No pitches. No commitments. 
Just clarity and refinement. 

DM me “BRAND” and we’ll find a time to chat. 

P.S. This is only for those who understand 
the importance of brand presence and 
the value it offers. 

A true luxury brand doesn’t chase relevance. 
It’s felt deeply and becomes part of your story, 
your heritage, and your lasting impact. 

Build a lifestyle. 
Not just a Brand.

Luxury brands are magnetic. 

They create an intrinsic connection with you. 

Here’s how ↓ 

They create a timeless experience. 

Their own unique experience. 

A lifestyle. 

A lifestyle that takes time to build and define. 
A lifestyle the top 1% are relentless to win. 

A movement that everyone truly wants 
to be a part of. 

What people often don’t realize is this. 

Human psychology plays a large part 
in defining luxury and branding. 

According to Donatella Versace: 
“What defines luxury is uniqueness, 
  emotion, and desire.” 

With luxury comes: 

▪️Elegance 
▪️Exclusivity 
▪️Status 

Just like a great book where each chapter 
captivates you to keep reading more 
(at a rapid pace) … 

Luxury brands create their own unique story. 

Capturing your undivided attention. 

And influencing you to want to learn more. 
 
Luxury brands:  

▪️Create a world (a universally evolving system) 
▪️Make you feel special 
▪️Differentiate themselves  
▪️Show you an elevated lifestyle 
       that can be all yours 

And show you their true value. 

Showing you exactly why they are worth 
your undivided attention. 

After all, you can: 

▪️Become your own luxury brand 
▪️Create your own unique story 
▪️Build your own luxurious lifestyle 

“A great brand is the story 
 that never stops unfolding.” 
 — Tony Hsieh

Luxury is not something you buy. 

It’s something you embody. 
It’s built from within. 
It’s a lifestyle. 

And it’s a world that people desire to be a part of. 

This is how I view luxury. 


I was talking to a multi-million dollar CEO 
about human psychology, 6 days ago. 

And how ultimately people’s decisions 
are emotionally-driven. 

Once you have established yourself as luxury 
the rest naturally follows. 

Here’s how quiet luxury speaks volumes 
and sells without saying a word. 

1. Status provides the feeling of importance. 
↳ People don’t just buy products/services. 
    They buy how it makes them feel. 

     Luxury makes them feel valued. 

2. Exclusivity wins. Scarcity creates desire. 
↳ When something is always available, 
    it loses value. 
    
    Positioning it as rare, limited, 
    and something you have to earn 
    makes it that much more desirable. 

3. Silence is powerful. 
↳ Luxury brands are not loud. They whisper. 

    They attract attention without chasing. 

4. Belonging builds loyalty. 
↳ People want to feel like they are 
    a part of a special world. 

    Make your brand a private club 
    where only a limited number of people 
    are invited. This offers a premium feeling 
    unlike a public place where everyone has access. 

5. Details build trust.
↳ Thoughtful craftsmanship throughout 
    the entire experience is a must. 

    Every detail and interaction matters. 


Luxury brands speak to the heart. 

They create legacies. 

Legacies built from grace. 

Become iconic and watch your brand 
powerfully influence.

Most leaders focus on results.

Great leaders focus on people.

They don’t just look at numbers, tasks, and objectives.

- They notice the energy in the room.
- The tension when someone hesitates.
- The teammate who’s quieter than usual.

Because leadership isn’t only about strategy and tasks 
It’s about the humans doing the work.

And when leaders forget that human side, things start to break:

People shut down
Teams pull back
Trust fades

In my coaching practice, many leaders face this struggle,

Not because they lack skill
But because they lack connection.

The good news?

You can strengthen that connection starting today.

Here are 7 ways great leaders build trust that lasts:

1. They observe more than they speak
They notice tone, silence, and body language.
They lead with awareness, not assumptions.

2. They choose curiosity over control
Not “Why isn’t this done?”
But “What’s getting in the way?”
Curiosity creates clarity.

3. They give feedback with respect
Clear and honest, never harsh.
People remember how you made them feel.

4. They listen without rushing to fix
They don’t jump in too fast.
They make space to understand the real problem.

5. They invite honest conversations
Not quick updates.
They ask questions that open the door to honesty.

6. They support the person, not just the role
Everyone carries more than their title shows.
Great leaders see the whole person.

7. They stay true to their values every day
People know what to expect from them.
Consistency builds deep trust.

Leadership leaves a mark.

Make yours one that lifts people higher,

Not one that tears people down.

What’s one human leadership habit you value most?

Certified Executive Coach. I help women leaders step into bigger roles and opportunities by increasing their visibility and communicating their value. Leadership Consultant.

The most unstoppable leaders don’t chase titles.

They build what no one can take away.

Most leaders focus on performance, goals, and results.

But the qualities that create real career growth are not on your resume.

- How you speak when it matters.
- How you stay calm under pressure.
- How you show up when no one is watching.
- How you rebuild your confidence after a setback.

Those inner skills decide how far you can go.

I see this every day with the women I coach.

They already have experience, talent, and strong results 
And what unlocks their next chapter is the work they do on themselves.

Because the leaders who grow fastest are the ones who build:

✅ A clearer voice
✅ Stronger boundaries
✅ Steady confidence
✅ A grounded presence
✅ Trust in your own value

These are the traits no one can take away from you.

If you want to grow into bigger opportunities, start here:

1. Strengthen your self-awareness
↳ Notice what drains you and what energizes you.

2. Practice being calm under pressure
↳ A steady mind helps you make better choices.

3. Build habits that match the leader you want to be
↳ Small daily actions change how you show up.

4. Surround yourself with people who lift you
↳ Support is a strength, not a weakness.

5. Speak about your value with confidence
↳ People can't recognize what you keep hidden.

Inner growth is exactly what accelerates visibility, influence, and career opportunities.

And that's the reason why it's the core of my coaching work with leaders.

Your next level doesn't come from a title.

It comes from the version of you you're becoming.

What inner skill are you strengthening this week?

Most people repeat the same habits.

The ones who move forward 

learn the ones they need to change.

I’ve seen this pattern again and again in my clients, in organizations, and in myself.

Growth doesn’t usually fail because of a lack of talent.

It fails because we stay loyal to what feels comfortable:

• Saying yes when we want to say no
• Avoiding conversations that matter
• Waiting to be noticed instead of showing our impact
• Hoping things will get better on their own

Comfort feels safe.
Growth feels risky.

But only one of them moves your career forward.

The leaders who rise aren’t the ones who work the hardest.

They’re the ones who stay honest with themselves:

- What am I avoiding?
- What am I holding onto that no longer serves me?
- Which habits no longer match the level I want to reach?

Here are three shifts that make growth inevitable

✅ Choose aligned action over autopilot
Notice the moments where you default to the old version of you. Choose differently, even once.

✅ Let small discomfort be your signal
The conversation you don’t want to have is often the one that will unlock your next step.

✅ Act before you feel “ready.”
Readiness is a feeling that arrives after you move, not before.

Your next chapter isn’t built in the comfort zone.

It’s built on the decisions that require honesty, 
courage, and a new way of showing up.

What’s one habit you’re ready to outgrow?

Executive Coach, helping senior leaders on their journey to VP+ level. Leadership Consultant for High Performing Organizations. Trusted by Fortune 500 leaders. Supporting clients globally in both English and French.

I used to think staying quiet made me easy to work with.

It only made me invisible.

For years, I thought being “low-maintenance” was the right way to lead:

Say yes.
Stay agreeable.
Avoid conflict.

People appreciated the harmony
But they rarely saw my value.

And I see the same pattern in so many brilliant leaders I coach:

They work hard.
They deliver.

But they stay overlooked
because silence hides the impact they’re trying to make.

Here’s what I learnt since
and what I now teach my clients:

If you don’t communicate your value, people fill the silence with assumptions.

And those assumptions rarely match your true potential.

Here are the shifts that make your value impossible to ignore:

1/ Speaking up is leadership
People can’t support what they don’t know.

2/ Making your work visible is clarity
Visibility gives others the context they need to recognize your impact.

3/ Clear goals create real opportunities
When you articulate what you want, doors that weren’t visible before open.

4/ Boundaries elevate your authority
Respect grows when you protect your time, not when you give it away.

5/ Asking for support accelerates your career
The highest performers rise faster when they are open to support.

6/ Your voice is part of your value
Impact comes from being heard, not just being helpful.

These aren’t loud actions.
They’re intentional ones.

And they’re the difference between feeling overlooked and becoming impossible to ignore.

Because the moment you claim your impact,

The room has no choice but to see it.

Vulnerable leaders are weak.

That's what toxic cultures believe.

Through my experience coaching senior leaders, I’ve repeatedly seen this pattern: the pressure to be perfect.

But hiding your struggles won't help your team.

It creates disconnection.

❌ Your perfect image kills innovation
↳ No one dares to take risks. 

❌ Your silence creates distance 
↳ When they need connection the most.

❌ Your mask breeds self-doubt 
↳They wonder if they're the only ones struggling.

Most leaders follow these old rules: 

↳ Know it all. 
↳ Look perfect every time. 
↳ Hide your struggles at all costs. 

But your team sees right through it. 

Because what they need is authenticity.

When you lead with authenticity:

✅ Your team's creativity explodes. 
✅ Your impact as a leader multiplies. 
✅ Your relationship with your team strengthens.

Being vulnerable isn't weak.

It's the first step to authentic leadership. 

Here's what real leaders do: 

1/ Ask for help 
↳ Your team's ideas are gold. 
↳ Big wins come from working together. 

2/ Say, "I was wrong." 
↳ Owning mistakes builds absolute trust. 
↳ Your growth helps others grow. 

3/ Learn from failure
↳ Every failure teaches something. 
↳ New ideas come when it's safe to try. 

Your team doesn't need a perfect leader.

They need an authentic one.

What's one thing you learned from being authentic?

People project their limits onto your decisions.

Don’t let their fear define your future.

- You get offered a role abroad, and people say it’s “too risky.”
- You want a senior role, and your boss says you’re “not prepared.”
- You share a new project, and a friend calls it “too ambitious.”

They aren’t trying to stop you.

They just can’t imagine the future you’re choosing for yourself.

Many people wait for certainty before they act.
They want approval or proof that things will work out.

But certainty rarely comes first. It appears after you take action.

And here’s what happens while you wait: the quiet part of you that wants 
something different will keep getting louder.

Self-belief doesn’t start with confidence.

It starts with a thought that keeps coming back.

A feeling that something needs to change.

And when you take one step, then another,
You realise you can do far more than you believed.

I see this pattern every day with the women I coach.

Things shift the moment you support your own decisions instead of waiting for validation.

Because confidence grows through action.

Not waiting, Not predicting, Not gathering more evidence.

You don’t need certainty.

You need one step.

And when you trust your ability to handle what comes next, progress follows.

Be delusional.

Life expands for people who do.

A few years ago, I was presenting in a meeting. 

When something embarrassing happened.

I completely forgot what I was going to say next.

My mind went blank, and I could feel the room staring at me.

Then something powerful happened.

A senior colleague spoke up with a simple comment that helped me get back on track.

Not to take over.

But just enough to help me breathe and continue with confidence.

That moment changed how I see leadership.

Real leadership is the courage to lift people in the exact moment they fear they’ve fallen.

And I see this over and over again in the leaders who make the biggest impact:

✅ They notice the quiet struggles.
✅ They offer support without taking the spotlight.
✅ They make others feel capable, not dependent.

Here’s what happens when you lift others instead of looking away:

1. People grow faster
A small nudge at the right moment can change someone’s whole trajectory.

2. Teams get stronger
Confidence spreads when people feel supported, not judged.

3. You build trust that lasts
People never forget who helped them when they felt vulnerable.

4. You raise the standard of leadership
Your behavior gives others permission to lead the same way.

If you want to make a lasting impact, start here:

✅ Be the leader who gives someone a chance.
✅ Be the colleague who backs someone in the room.
✅ Be the person who makes hard moments easier to carry.

That’s the kind of leadership people remember.

The most impactful leaders lead with presence.

Quiet doesn’t mean weak.

Yet, in many workplaces, it’s still seen as a flaw.

If you’re an introverted leader, you’ve probably heard this:

“Speak up more.”
“Be more assertive.”
“Take more space.”

Translation?
Be less like you and more like everyone else.

Let’s be honest:
Quiet leadership isn’t less; it’s less visible.

Most of your work happens beneath the surface:

✅ You think before you speak
✅ You choose your words carefully
✅ You process deeply while others talk fast
✅ You protect your energy to stay intentional

People often applaud what’s loud and overlook what’s thoughtful.

That’s the bias. 

And you’ve been dealing with it for years.

Introverted leaders don’t lack confidence.

They often lack the space to lead in ways that feel right to them.

So here’s what I want you to remember:

→ You don’t need to change who you are
→ You don’t need to be louder to be respected
→ You don’t need to network like an extrovert to be seen
→ You don’t need to “fix” your leadership to move up

You need tools that match your style, not a script to follow.

✅ Quiet leadership works
✅ Strategic listening is power
✅ Presence doesn’t need volume

Your value isn’t in how much you speak.

It’s in the impact you make when you do.

What’s one thing you wish more people understood about introverted leaders?

Most leaders want the next level.

Very few become the version of themselves who can step into it.

I learned this early in my career, and I see the same pattern every day with the women I coach:

Brilliant leaders with strong results.

But their inner leadership isn’t keeping pace with the career they want next.

Before you lead a team, a project, or a room, you have to lead yourself.

- How you communicate
- How you make decisions
- How you show up under pressure

And when you strengthen it, everything shifts:

- You speak with more clarity
- You make choices with more confidence
- You show up with a presence people trust

Here are 8 powerful ways to start leading yourself at the next level:

1. Develop your self-awareness
Notice your patterns. They influence every decision you make.

2. Regulate your emotions
A calm mind makes stronger choices than a reactive one.

3. Hold yourself accountable
Own your actions. It builds credibility quickly.

4. Advocate for yourself
Say what you need and ask for what you want. 

5. Build discipline in small moments
Confidence grows when you keep the promises to yourself.

6. Practice self-compassion
You don’t grow by being harsh with yourself. 

7. Reflect with honesty
Look back so you can move forward with intention.

8. Keep learning
Your next level requires a version of you who evolves.

The level you want won’t come from the leader you were.

Only from the leader you choose to become.

She got a 20% salary raise.

Two days after she resigned.

For three years, she hit every deadline and saved projects from collapse.

Her manager praised her in private.
But when promotion season came? Silence.

Don't wait until you leave to be noticed.

Make your impact visible today.

Here are 7 strategic ways to do it

1. Track your wins
↳ Write down your results with a specific outcome
↳ Share a short monthly "wins recap" with your boss

2. Show impact, not effort
↳ Be specific about your impact: "Cut costs by 15%
↳ Numbers make your value clear

3. Be seen by leaders
↳ Volunteer to share updates in big meetings
↳ Offer ideas on company priorities

4. Be the go-to person
↳ Answer challenging questions in team discussions
↳ Create tools your colleagues rely on

5. Build internal connections
↳ Volunteer for cross-functional projects
↳ Share credit when it is due

6. Ask directly for what you want
↳ Don't hint. Don't wait. Ask clearly
↳ Show evidence that you are ready

7. Show your strategic thinking
↳ Focus on high-impact projects
↳ Don't lose yourself in details

Make sure your value is noticed when it matters.

Don't be the best-kept secret in your company.

This simple principle completely changed my life.

And it will change yours too.

It taught me to pay attention to small actions.
The actions that don’t look important until they are.

I used to think growth meant big steps,
big plans and big wins.

But it turns out, it’s the small actions, taken daily, that move your life forward.

The Butterfly Effect:

When a butterfly flaps its wings, it creates a small movement of air 
barely visible, almost silent.
Yet that movement can set off a chain of changes that grow over time.

Life works the same way.
The small choices you make today often become the turning points you only recognize years later.

The butterfly knows that tiny actions matter, 
even when no one notices.

It knows that big change rarely starts with a big moment,
But with a quiet one.

- A message you were afraid to send.
- A meeting where you finally spoke up.
- A simple act of consistency, repeated over time.

The butterfly effect reminds us that progress is built through small, consistent actions.

It knows that doing something, even small, is better than waiting for perfect timing.

And it knows that transformation takes time. Before wings, there’s the cocoon.

Finally, it knows one simple truth: You can’t cause change from stillness.

You have to move, even a little

to create your next wave of momentum.

What small action changed everything for you?

The Butterfly Effect

You’d never talk to your team

The way you talk to yourself.

For years, I replayed every mistake in my mind, 
criticized every imperfect moment,
and held myself to standards no one else expected.

Harsh self-talk isn’t accountability.

It’s bad pressure disguised as discipline.

And the cost is higher than most people realize:

↳ It drains your confidence
↳ It slows your decision-making
↳ It keeps you stuck in past moments instead of moving forward

Think about it:

❌ When you replay mistakes
↳ You train your mind to expect the worst, not to learn.

❌ When you speak to yourself with criticism
↳ You create fear, not growth.

❌ When you push without compassion
↳ You build stress, not strength.

But when you change the way you speak to yourself:

✅ You recover faster
✅ You make better choices
✅ You take opportunities with confidence
✅ You show up with steadiness that people trust

Here are the shifts that helped me lead myself better 

and how I coach my clients today:

✅ Replace judgment with curiosity
↳ What can I learn here? Instead of Why did I do that?

✅ Speak to yourself as you speak to others
↳ Honest, but with respect.

✅ Allow yourself to be human
↳ Growth doesn’t require perfection.

Your career depends on the relationship you have with yourself.

When you stop tearing yourself down,

You finally unlock the energy you need to rise.

The flaws you want to hide,

might be the reason you lead so well today.

There's a Japanese art called Kintsugi, in which broken pottery is repaired with gold.

The cracks aren't hidden.
They're highlighted.

Because the object is more valuable after what it's been through.

I think about this often in my coaching practice with women leaders.

You don't grow because everything went smoothly.

You grow because of all the setbacks you went through:

• a project that went wrong
• a meeting where you froze
• a decision that cost you confidence
• a moment that made you question your place in the room

We're taught to present a polished version of ourselves at work.

But the moments that shape your leadership rarely look polished.

✅ Your resilience came from pressure.
✅ Your presence came from setbacks.
✅ Your clarity came from the times you had to rebuild yourself.

That's your Kintsugi.

Here's how strong leaders turn their "cracks" into power:

1. Name what shaped you
The experience you hide is often the one that built your strength.

2. Stop editing your story
Your journey gives people depth, trust, and connection.

3. Keep the lessons visible
The wisdom you earned is part of your authority; use it.

Your value doesn't decrease because you've been through challenging moments.

It increases.

Your career grows not despite the cracks.

But because of the gold you rebuilt yourself with.

Which part of your journey made you stronger?

Being smart can be a double-edged sword.

It opens doors.

And it also keeps you stuck in patterns that limit your growth.

Here are 7 hidden patterns holding brilliant women back:

1. The Rumination Trap 
↳ You replay mistakes long after they’re over.
↳ Leadership requires learning fast, then moving forward.

2. The Multitasking Trap
↳ You spread yourself across too many priorities.
↳ Impact comes from ruthless focus on what matters most.

3. The Overthinking Trap 
↳ You analyze for so long that decisions pass you by.
↳ Progress requires action, not perfect information every time.

4. The Comparison Trap 
↳ You measure yourself against others instead of growth.
↳ That keeps you chasing standards that aren’t truly yours.

5. The Expertise Trap 
↳ You delay action, thinking you need more credentials.
↳ Leadership is proven in practice, not certificates.

6. The Resilience Trap 
↳ You push through challenges to prove endless strength.
↳ True leaders know collaboration is stronger than endurance.

7. The Humility Trap 
↳ You downplay achievements to avoid standing out.
↳ Confidence in your wins is what inspires trust.

The truth?

You don’t need to work harder or be smarter.

You need to step into your real power.

 Which trap would you add?
