Real-time calibration for powerful leadership-> people pleaser to Pioneer leader

Listen to the full episode here https://nemoashong.com [Real-time calibration for powerful leadership-> people pleaser to Pioneer leader] I recently had a conversation with a business owner exploring potential partnerships. Mid-way through the conversation (literally 45 mins into it), I realized that I was spending my energy and our time trying to position myself in a way that would impress, make her feel I would be a valuable asset, and come across as an expert she want to work with. The worst part is that I’m good at that, which meant I’d be getting pulled in for "opportunities" I didn’t really want. AND she wouldn’t consider me for the types of projects that actually align with me and my highest value and values. I had spent 45 mins slipping into a persona based not on who I was but rather who I felt she wanted me to be! More on the leadership strategies I used to navigate myself to a place that now has us exploring business opportunities that actually serve the people we want in ways that align with what we’re about in the video. -- One of the biggest challenges for Pioneer leaders is settling for people pleasing rather than authentic servant leadership. It makes sense: we’re multi -talented, multi-passionate, energetic and empathetic leaders. Part of what allows us to pursue these talents and passions amongst varied groups and people is our empathetic ability to pick up on what we feel others want to hear, give them that, and then use micro- indicators in body language, words, tone, and energy to guide us on what’s "right" in the conversation. That’s people-pleasing 101 and a tool I’ve used over and over as a leader to feel "accepted" and to "build connection". However, there are levels of leadership that go beyond acceptance, connection, and pleasing which include belonging, relationship, and serving. Have you caught yourself building a true and yet at the same time inauthentic image of yourself while trying to make a good impression? Lets talk about how you can make the shift from people pleaser to servant leader mid-conversation/relationship through the video and comments below.
