In this episode of the Enough Already Women Rise Podcast, I address a common and painful issue many women face in the workplace: having their ideas ignored and credited to someone else. This episode highlights the real impact of such experiences on a woman's professional confidence and strategies for overcoming these dynamics. I share five communication habits that women often fall into and how to break free from them. Plus, I redefined "executive presence" and how it can be learned by mastering specific communication habits.

Key Takeaways:

• The impact of having your ideas ignored and how it affects your professional standing

• Executive presence is not about personality, it's about intentional communication habits that are learnable

• How to stop shrinking and start asserting your value in meetings

• Practical steps to reclaim your professional voice and presence
