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

from The Confidence Chronicles

You Can’t Lead While You’re At War With Yourself | Women In Leadership & Self Promotion You cannot be the leader you came here to be if you are secretly at war with yourself. In this episode, I am sharing what I have been seeing inside rooms full of powerful women leaders at organisations like Deloitte, and why so many brilliant women are still getting overlooked, underpaid and underestimated, not because they are not good enough, but because they are not backing themselves. We dig into self promotion, imposter syndrome, visibility and radical responsibility, through the lens of women in leadership, corporate and business. 💓 What You’ll Learn• Why women are five times less likely to self promote than men, and how that holds you back • How imposter syndrome shows up for women, and why men feel it too • The real cost of staying quiet in meetings, boardrooms and leadership spaces • The difference between blaming the system and taking radical responsibility • The three shifts: showing up, standing up and speaking up in your organisation • How confidence is really self trust, and how to start building that trust today By the end of this episode, you will see where you are shrinking, where you are still fighting yourself, and what it looks like to claim your space as a leader, unapologetically. 👑 Work With MeIf you are a woman in leadership or growing into leadership and you are ready to actually own your voice and your value, this is your world. ♟️ *The Queen’s Table* High level mastermind and private coaching for women ready to build visibility, authority and legacy. https://thequeenofconfidence.com/the-queens-table/ 🚀 *The Next Level* For early stage business owners under 10k months, ready to grow your audience, your confidence and your income. https://thequeenofconfidence.com/nextlevel/ 💖 More From Erika📖 *Books:* Confidence Feels Like Sh*t + Becoming Magnetic https://the-queen-of-confidence.myshopify.com 🎙️ *Podcast:* The Confidence Chronicles https://thequeenofconfidence.com/podcast 📲 *Follow:* 👑 *READY TO BUILD YOUR AUTHORITY, CONFIDENCE & PERSONAL BRAND?* ♟️ *The Queen's Table* My high-level mentorship for women ready to step into leadership, visibility and legacy. → https://thequeenofconfidence.com/the-queens-table/ 👑 *MORE WAYS TO WORK WITH ME* ✨ *The Next Level* Build your confidence, audience and income. → https://thequeenofconfidence.com/the-next-level/ 📖 *My Book – Becoming The One* → https://www.amazon.com/ 🎙 *Listen to the Podcast* → https://podcasts.apple.com/ 📱 *Come Say Hi on Instagram* → https://www.instagram.com/thequeenofconfidence/ ⭐ *If this episode resonated, share it with someone who needs to hear it.*
