This week’s episode is a wonderfully long, winding conversation about mental health, confidence, and learning to feel stronger inside and outside of work. This week’s guest Siria is a successful attorney and mental health advocate and the host of two podcasts (Pivotal Moments and Lawyered with Siria, both linked below). She opens up about her journey of setting boundaries, processing emotions, dealing with personal struggles, mental health, being her authentic self at work, and SO much more. It’s honestly hard to write a description for this episode because we covered so many juicy topics – this is a favorite conversation of mine.

121 | Myths about executive presence + where your power REALLY comes from
Tuesday Apr 20, 2021
Tuesday Apr 20, 2021
Welcome to the show! I’m SO pumped about today’s episode. I created this episode for anyone who is trying to figure out how to convey power in a room without being fake or overly dominant. So many pockets of Corporate America tell you that in order to exude power, you need to be gruff and hypermasculine, but this isn’t true. And in fact, when you do those things, it actually dilutes your power.
Listen in to hear me explain why and to hear me guide you towards a more authentic, sustainable approach to executive presence.
