She Believed She Could™ | Confidence, Leadership & Personal Branding for Women

Over the last decade, Allison’s worked with hundreds of talented individuals to create, define, and uplevel their personal brands so they can go after huge opportunities for themselves and their careers. While each of them has understood, or grown to understand, the importance of investing in themselves, nearly all of them have struggled with one of the areas discussed in this episode as they’ve focused on building personal brand awareness, enhancing their authentic professional presence, creating valuable relationships, and identifying incredible opportunities to stand out from the crowd.  

Memorable Moments:

4:05: The dialogue that happens between our ears is by far the biggest challenge that my clients and team members have struggled with as we’ve worked on their personal brands. It’s really easy to get in our own way, not fully invest in ourselves and fail to completely put ourselves out there in a bigger way. 

4:33: We get in our own way for more than anyone else does. 

6:56: Remember that the most important element is that you are consistent, clear, and cohesive. If you deviate, you will dilute your impact. Don’t do that. 

7:16: Personal branding is far more than the aesthetic elements of your brand. It’s about your total package and how you share that message with the world.

7:32: Never forget that people follow you, in both business and life.

In this episode, Allison discusses her journey over the last 19 years and how everything started with her learning how to tell her story and building her brand with the goal and desire to help others change their lives. 

She talks about how her messy story became her message and how she's been able to make an impact throughout her life and career, and how you can too. 

If you're wanting more out of life, and you know your story is powerful, this episode is for you!

MEMORABLE MOMENTS:

4:38: Every single person has unique experiences, but shared experiences at the same time. And if you can figure out how to pull all those elements together, you can really do amazing work in this world and feel so fulfilled, feel so in alignment, and feel like you're living on purpose.

5:58: Ninety-nine percent of what I do at AWC is help people learn how to share their stories, how to leverage them, how to build beautiful personal brands, and put themselves out there. Because if you're hiding under a rock and you're not sharing what you're doing, how does opportunity find you?

6:53: If you've got something burning in your soul and you know that you have this bigger purpose, this bigger mission, this bigger opportunity in your future, if you would just double down on yourself and make the most out of what it is that you bring to the table, you can live the most incredible, beautiful fulfilled life while making an impact and changing the lives of others.

7:33: I didn't even realize the opportunities there were out there to monetize what I was doing. I didn't realize that I could literally have an entire professional career around sharing my story.

9:22: When you can really leverage all of the lessons learned and help others and really do it in the heart of service, you can make such a huge impact.

Leila was selected by audience vote as the cover story for the most recent issue of Savvy Girl Magazine which featured the Top 25 Under 25. She’s a PHENOMENAL young woman who’s worked her way up at Amazon, created initiatives to support women in the workplace, and is involved in multiple female empowerment organizations. 

In this episode, Allison and Leila talk about the importance of mentorship, challenging ourselves to pave the way for others to be successful, and navigating challenging situations.

Memorable moments:

5:17: I believe in diversity of thought and the critical need for inclusive leadership. I want to see more women in positions to make decisions, controlling resources, shaping policies, and perspectives and Lift, and Be Uplifted follows the idea that a gender-balanced world and workplace benefits everyone.

9:52: Not every girl has a relatable role model that they can identify with in their lives. It's hard to be her if you can't see her. 

11:46: Not giving up and quitting was winning. 

12:39: Go for it, try it out. Don't give up and take yourself out of the game so early, because you're going to impress and really shock yourself. 

14:54: I'm not sure we really understand the true meaning of authenticity and what it means to be authentic. It's no matter how uncomfortable it is or how much self-doubt you hold onto you, how you show up fully as the real, you, all of you, no matter what others may say or think about you, that is authenticity.

15:13: I always tell women when I speak to them that sometimes the one thing that makes you different is the one thing that sets you apart.

Bio:

As an advocate for women gaining seats of influence in non-traditional women careers, Leila Sabet has made her mark in the workplace by stepping up to serve as a leader women need most. Her upbringing in a dual-cultural household was key to her mission being rooted in equality with the larger narrative on diversity. Understanding that unconscious bias is built into our culture, Leila has made a point to hold the door open for young women who come after her through her initiative, Lift & Be Uplifted: Increasing Women’s Influence in the Professional World. She is on the Board of Directors for Girls Inc, shares involvement in the Girl Up Campaign, and many University-based leadership organizations, as well as serving as a champion for UN initiatives that support women and girls globally. Leila specializes in helping ambitious young women build a self-empowerment mindset and close the “confidence gap” by leveraging her behavioral psychology education and leadership experience.

Allison shares four really valuable lessons she's learned over the last decade building businesses and brands. 

As a huge advocate leveling up, Allison challenges listeners to invest in themselves, get visible, monetize their brands and create multiple streams of income. Most importantly, she discusses not letting fear (or yourself) get in the way of your potential. 

Memorable moments:

3:14: Go after opportunities and make sure that your business is well equipped to handle the successes along the way.

4:21: When you limit your ability to serve and show up in the world the way that the world needs to see you, you also limit the opportunities and possibilities for your future.

4:31: We've all been blessed with so many talents, so many skills and gifts, and all the good things that need to be shared, but if you're hiding under a rock because you're afraid of what others might think, or you're fearing failure, you've got to move out from underneath that because it absolutely is your time to shine.

5:44: Since 2009, I've had multiple streams of income, and that's because I nearly lost everything back then. I realized I was never going to ever put myself in that position again. And I think as women, we've got to start to have more open and honest conversations about money because I think if ever there was a year where it proved to be financially prudent to have other sources and streams coming in it was 2020.

In today’s episode, Laura explains that you can be both self-aware and self-accepting simultaneously, and shares helpful ways to put this into practice. Laura discusses the challenges that oftentimes are self-created and inflicted as we push ourselves to be our best, and how we can overcome them. 

If you struggle with self-doubt, the fear of failure, and have a relentless inner critic, this episode is for you. 

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

10:08: “I want you to have faith that there are lots of other drivers that will continue to move you forward beside the fear of not being enough.” 

12:16: “We all also have this champion voice inside of us. We have this voice that wants to defend us against the inner critic, that wants to point out the ways that we're doing well, the ways that we're making progress. And for a lot of us, that champion voice is just so quiet.”

16:33: “When you can learn how to be your own best friend, and you are building that strong relationship with yourself that is self-acceptance. Turn that relationship into one of the strongest, healthiest, most positive relationships you have. It's going to have incredible cascading effects across every other relationship you have in your life.”

17:45: “Even in the moment when I'm catching myself being critical of myself, that's still a moment when I can choose self-compassion, I can choose self-acceptance, I can choose to be kind.”

In this episode, you’ll hear a presentation I gave at a recent Orange Appeal’s Ladies Luncheon. Orange Appeal is a magazine that was started by the fabulous mother-daughter duo, Christi Ashby and Kate Slentz, and over the years they’ve created even more wonderful experiences to bring women together. They host the Annual Orlando Women’s Conference which is definitely an event you don’t want to miss! They also organize monthly Ladies Luncheons, bringing together women virtually now as well, to learn, grow, and connect. They are all about celebrating women and lifting them up, which you know is one of my favorite things to do too!

I had the opportunity to be a part of the conference this past year and spoke about intentional planning, and they invited me back to expand on my tips and suggestions to help you intentionally get the most out of your day, week, month, and year.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed sharing. And if you’d like to learn more about Orange Appeal, the wonderful VIRTUAL luncheons they’re hosting, and the conference, check them out online:

12:56: "If you haven't thought about what it is that brings you joy, what it is that lights up your soul, I encourage you to do so because I guarantee it's going to impact every other aspect of your life."

29:47: "Discipline is what shows up when motivation wants to take a nap."

In this episode, she shares why she bailed on Hollywood to pursue building her own company and helping others share their story.

She’s become an expert in preparing people to make the most out of their moments on the mainstage. We also discussed our mutual love for Laura Belgray, why it’s so important to ALWAYS listen to your intuition, and be bold and brave enough to shed our people-pleasing tendencies!

Memorable quotes:

“Start with your message. Start with your content.”

“Oftentimes people will get caught in a people-pleasing place...those scripts never work out.”

“I want you to pick the topic that you are so lit up about even if you think that no one will be interested in it.”

“There’s always an audience for everything.”

“Pick the thing you’re passionate about. At the end of the day, your excitement for that topic is what will propel you forward, especially when the process gets hard.”

Allison is a huge fan of “I am” statements and positive mantras. They were a total game-changer for her after working with a sports psychologist and high-performance mental coach when she was a teenager who introduced her to this particular practice which changed her life FOREVER.

Allison discusses that you can’t be saying negative things to yourself at the same time that you are saying positive ones, and gives guidance on how to incorporate this into your daily routine so you have a technique to lean on when life gets stressful. 

She shares about the challenges of 2020 and her perspective moving into the new year. Allison shares her four newest mantras that were inspired by what she learned last year, and how she feels equipped to tackle bigger goals in 2021.
