#23 Influence & Courage — Lead Without Apology

If you’ve ever felt yourself shrink when it’s time to speak up, this episode is your reset. We unpack how real influence is built through win–win leadership, why humility is not hiding, and how one courageous ask can change your trajectory. I walk you through a scene from Esther to reframe fear as preparation, then guide you into a quick Courage Audit and a concrete commitment you’ll send this week. Expect clear language you can use to set standards without apology, a nudge to ship at 80% and learn in public, and a faith-forward reminder that “such a time as this” is permission, not pressure. If you want reinforced bravery for your calling, this is the one to play twice, then act.
