Why Female Leaders Get Overlooked (And How To Change It)

from The Confidence Chronicles · host Erika Cramer

You can’t lead powerfully if you are secretly at war with yourself. In this episode, I am unpacking what I have been seeing inside rooms full of incredible female leaders at organisations around the globe, and why so many of us are still holding ourselves back from the roles, recognition and rewards we say we want. We talk about: • Why women are five times less likely to self promote than men • How imposter syndrome shows up for women in leadership • The difference between blaming “the system” and taking radical responsibility • Showing up, standing up and speaking up, even when it feels uncomfortable • Why confidence is really about self trust, and how you build it in real life By the end of this episode, you will be brutally clear on where you are shrinking, where you are fighting yourself, and what needs to change if you truly want to step into leadership and be seen. ❤️ If this landed, share it with a woman in leadership who needs the reminder, and come tell me your biggest takeaway on Instagram @thequeenofconfidence https://www.instagram.com/thequeenofconfidence
