Being Ready Enough with Lauren Beane

In this episode of People Success Circle, I sit down with Lauren Beane to talk about something so many of us—especially women in leadership and women in the workplace—struggle with: waiting until we feel fully ready before we take action.Lauren shares her personal journey from being bold and fearless as a child to navigating self-doubt and overthinking, imposter syndrome, and overcoming perfectionism in her career. Like so many high achievers and imperfect women striving for growth, she found herself hesitating, waiting until everything was “just right,” and missing opportunities because of the fear of failure and the fear of not being good enough.What changed everything for her was a powerful moment of reflection where she realized she was holding herself back—and that question so many of us ask, “is it worth taking the risk?”, was actually keeping her stuck. That moment became the starting point for her journey into personal development, self improvement, and building a stronger leadership mindset.This conversation is all about what it really means to be “ready enough” and how small, intentional steps can create the transformation of self-doubt into confidence, helping you grow in career advancement, leadership confidence, and overall mindset for success.In this episode, we cover: What “ready enough” really means—and why you don’t need all the answers to start  How self-doubt and overthinking and overcoming perfectionism impact your growth  The mindset shift that helped Lauren step into public speaking before she felt ready  Why waiting for certainty can block career advancement and long-term success  How to identify and use your transferable skills to move forward  Why done is better than perfect when it comes to taking action  How risk-taking in business and taking risks show up as critical leadership skills  Practical ways for empowering women leaders and teams to build a culture of innovation  The cost of waiting—and how missed opportunities impact your future You don’t need to feel 100% ready to take the next step—you just need to be ready enough. When you shift from perfection to progress, you start building the habits of successful people, strengthen your mindset for career success, and learn how to overcome self-doubt so you can take action with confidence.About Lauren BeaneLauren Beane is a speaker and coach who helps individuals take action on their goals without waiting for perfection.
