303 | Getting past the fear of doing your job “wrong”
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
If you’re someone who cares deeply about doing your job right, today’s episode is for you. Sometimes in our quest to do our job “correctly,” we unintentionally spend a lot of time overthinking every little decision. This can slow down our execution and make it difficult for us to lead effectively. In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful reframe that’ll help you stop trying to do things the “correct” way, and start focusing instead on being a LEADER (which is much less about doing it “right” and much more about just having the courage to DO it, period!)
My hope is that this episode will inspire to leave behind perfectionism and replace it with unapologetic confidence in your leadership, execution, & decision-making.

Assertive communication is a non-negotiable skill for success in your corporate career - it’s how you establish a reputation as a thought leader and it’s how you make a big impact in the work you do.
If you’re anything like my clients - you might struggle to communicate assertively. You may be afraid of stepping on peoples’ toes and you may struggle to figure out how to be assertive without crossing the line into being aggressive.
Today’s episode will help you figure out how to be assertive without being aggressive, and how to walk that fine line between being assertive and being adversarial. You’ll leave this episode with clarity on WHY you’re stuck in this area, and what to do about it.
