What happens when your leadership style doesn’t fit the traditional mold of “executive presence”? In this live coaching session, Tracy works with Francesca, a principal designer navigating feedback that suggests she needs to share more of her perspective—but what if her greatest strength isn’t being the loudest voice in the room?

Together, they uncover the inner tension between her cautious part that fears getting it wrong and the budding part of Francesca that leads with curiosity, collaboration, and deep noticing.

In this episode, we explore:

• How to navigate the inner voices that show up when receiving tough feedback

• When your leadership style doesn’t match what your company is expecting from you

• How to bring your full self to high-stakes environments

• Why being quiet doesn’t mean you’re not leading

• A simple way to start leading with more confidence on your terms

By the end of the episode, you'll see how naming and nurturing your inner voices might be the boldest leadership move of all.
