You've built the career. You've earned the title. You've done the work. 

In fact, probably twice as hard as anyone gave you credit for. So why does communicating your ideas still feel harder than it should?

In this episode, I'm naming something that doesn't get said enough: women who lead are often the most underdeveloped communicators in the room. Not because they're not smart. Not because they don't have anything to say. 

But because nobody ever taught them how to communicate as a woman who actually leads.

We get into the real reason this is happening and I promise you, it's not a confidence problem. It's not a skills problem. It goes deeper than both of those things. 

We talk about why the "just be more confident" advice is largely useless, what fear is actually running the show underneath all that over-explaining and over-qualifying, and why fixing your communication skills without addressing your self-image is like painting over a crack in the foundation.

I also give you one small practice to try this week that will start to show you exactly where your authority is leaking and it might be more uncomfortable than you expect.

If you've ever walked out of a presentation thinking that didn't sound like me , this one is for you.
