The whole power dynamic changes when you step out of corporate life and in to entrepreneurship. No matter how much influence you had before you left or how much of a wallflower you were, once you’re on the outside you need to be heard and seen.
In this episode I talk to Eleanor Beaton, an award winning Leadership expert for women entrepreneurs. A former journalist at CBC and the Globe and Mail in Canada, she helps women create globally recognised, profitable businesses.
Our conversation is mainly about how to position yourself so that you’re taken seriously, so that your voice is heard and so that you are credible with your future customers and clients.
We discuss:
- What it means to be fierce
- Positioning yourself
- Mistakes we make that undermine our status
- Dealing with competitive feelings
- Being heard and being confident enough to put yourself out there
- The difference between niching and your ‘zone of genuis'
- Why you should stop being the one in the room taking notes.
Here are all the link to watch and listen to more Eleanor Beaton (I highly recommend it):
