  We're resharing one of our most popular episodes this week! Whether you're hearing it for the first time or need the reminder that yes, you ARE a leader.We explore the common phenomenon of women hesitating to see themselves as leaders despite their roles and behaviours suggesting otherwise! We touch on societal stereotypes and expectations of what leaders should look, act, and sound like, often not aligning with traditional gender norms.But what defines a leader, really? We break it down beyond titles and positions, highlighting key behaviours and skills like communication, empathy, and decisiveness that characterise effective leadership.We also debunk the myth that leadership equals formal authority over others, emphasising how anyone can inspire and motivate those around them, regardless of their official title.So, if you've ever questioned your leadership potential, tune in as we share insights, stories, and practical tips to help you recognise and embrace your leadership qualities.'Til next week, Powrsuiters! www.powrsuit.com
