Most leaders think they need authority to act — but real leadership begins when you give yourself permission to move. In this episode, we explore how to drop imagined judgement, stop waiting for endorsement, and step into decisive, high-impact leadership.

What we cover:

1. Drop the "hairy eyeball"
2. Own your authority instead of waiting for it
3. Anchor in your highest-value contribution
4. Give yourself the green light
5. Experiment and iterate without perfection
6. Reflect on impact — not opinion

Mini-Exercises You Can Use Today:
• Ask: “Is this judgement real or imagined?”
• Declare: “I lead here.”
• Identify the two highest-impact actions this week.
• Affirm: “I have my own back.”
• Take one imperfect action.
• Measure value by outcome, not applause.
