Own Your Space: Are You Leading with Confidence or Insecurity?
🎙️ Street Smarts meets Boardroom Strategy, Leadership Real Talk for Latinas and Bold Professionals Hosted by Miriam Simon | Executive Coach, Author of Tattoos and Pearls
Own Your Space: Are You Leading with Confidence or Insecurity?
Episode Summary:
Welcome back to Latina Mic Drop, where we get real about leadership, power, and showing up fully as your authentic self. I'm your host, Miriam Simon — executive and leadership coach, author of Tattoos and Pearls, and your guide to leading boldly without losing your voice. In today’s episode, we’re shining a light on something every professional has felt but few talk about: The night-and-day difference between working for a secure leader vs. surviving under an insecure manager. And if you’re leading people right now, this is your mirror moment.
I’m breaking down the 5 telltale signs of insecure leadership that breed toxicity, micromanagement, and team burnout, and how YOU can choose confidence, trust, and real influence instead.
This episode is your wake-up call and your power play. Let’s go.
In This Episode, We Cover:
🔑 Why insecurity breeds toxicity, and how it leaks into every corner of your team.
🔑 The trap of demanding more (reports, proof, meetings) just to cover up not knowing enough.
🔑 Why insecure leaders choose control over trust, and how it kills momentum.
🔑 How leading with "No" instead of "Tell me more" reveals fear, not strength.
🔑 The real meaning of confidence: It’s not knowing everything, it’s listening, learning, and growing.
Miriam's Mic Drop Moments:
✨ "Insecurity makes you come from fear. Confidence makes you come from curiosity."
✨ "Respect is a two-way street. Your title gets you in the room, but how you lead keeps you there."
✨ "Your team can feel the difference between day and night. Which one are you becoming?"
