Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs

"What do you think of this idea?" Often in business, we as leaders ask our team for input on our proudest ideas before we have looked in the mirror and asked ourselves the very same question. By prioritizing "collaboration" over clarity, we lose focus on our vision and goals. This tendency is just one of the many ways that we, as female entrepreneurs, abdicate our power and prevent the company we birthed from becoming the brand of our dreams.

Today, I share five specific ways that female entrepreneurs commonly abdicate their leadership power and examples of what this looks like in action. I discuss how limiting beliefs surrounding topics such as money, commitments, and whether to engage with the details can impact your business as well as how you can take your power back. I also provide insight into why it is crucial to make your intentions explicit so you can act in alignment with your vision and your word and lead from a place of clarity and purpose.

"The first way that we stop abdicating power is by allowing ourselves to become aware."- Eleanor Beaton

Have you ever been in a meeting where one person takes over simply because they are the strongest, loudest voice in the room? If so, your team may be falling victim to the tyranny of chill. Often, we blame the assertive team member for their role in the team dynamic. In reality, however, situations like these indicate an abdication of power that begins at the leadership level.

Bold, confident, self-assured - these are some of the many characteristics of an empowered female entrepreneur. But even these inspiring women cannot escape the inevitability of experiencing unstable and challenging times as a leader. During these turbulent times, many fall into the trap of seeking outside approval while salvaging the situation through willpower alone. Sadly, these leaders end up doing the exact opposite of the very thing they should have done in the first place, which is to insource approval and outsource willpower.

Keep Reading >>

Today, I share the tool I developed that helps female entrepreneurs of all levels who are going through crises in leadership - insourcing approval and outsourcing willpower. I dive into the negative effects of outsourcing approval and the essential skills you fail to learn when you focus on letting others' opinions be a defining factor when making decisions. I also share why insourcing willpower is not enough to create the results you want and how you can outsource it, instead, to make sure you have the bandwidth to make the decisions that matter the most.

"When we begin outsourcing approval as a general M.O. in our lives - it creates a crisis of leadership. It becomes an absence of accountability."- Eleanor Beaton

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• The relationship between credibility and approval.
• How you could be slowing your own progress.
• What it looks like to outsource approval.
• Why you may doubt yourself when it's time to make decisions.
• How I personally saw and experienced the downside of outsourcing approval and insourcing willpower.
• A milestone that marked the end of the transference of authority in my life and the start of a new, liberating chapter.
• How to identify where you're outsourcing approval.
• The two things that help you insource approval.

Reshma Saujani began her career as an attorney, but in 2010, she became the first Indian American woman to run for U.S. Congress. As part of her congressional race, she visited local schools and realized there was a marked gender gap in technology classes, which led her to start Girls Who Code, an international nonprofit organization working to close that gap. Reshma is also the author of Brave, Not Perfect, an international bestselling book that shares a collection of personal stories and powerful insights and strategies to end perfectionism and embrace bravery.

Reshma also shares how she has developed as a leader and CEO of Girls Who Code over the past seven years and how she foresees women grasping power in the technology industry.
