It’s about what’s happening in the moments where people decide whether they trust you to lead.A lot of high-performing people lose respect in subtle ways... they soften in conversations, over-explain decisions, or leave room for things to be negotiated when they shouldn’t be.They’re trying to be easy to work with… accommodating. …but that’s often the exact moment their authority In this episode, I walk through what people are actually picking up on when they decide if they respect you or not, and how small shifts in how you show up can change that quickly.We talk about: why being liked and being respected aren’t the same thing  how follow-through and self-trust shape how seriously people take you  where your standards and boundaries might be getting lost  how to be clear and direct without becoming cold or harsh If you know you’re operating at a high level but it’s not being reflected back to you, this will help you see why, and what to change.If you want support with this, you can book a Test Drive Consult at lisajeffs.com.
