Overcoming Obstacles for Women to Take Power Positions
Overcoming Obstacles for Women to Take Power Positions

Reflect on the ideas from this chapter and consider how they apply to your own leadership journey.

 

Scenario 1 – Reclaiming Confidence
You are asked to present your team’s work in front of senior management. You feel prepared, yet self-doubt emerges when you enter the room.

  • What inner dialogue might undermine your confidence?
  • How can you reframe that self-talk in a constructive way?
  • Which body language cues can help you project calm assurance even when nervous?

 

Scenario 2 – Authentic Leadership Under Pressure
A new client expects a more “assertive” communication style that doesn’t align with your natural approach.

  • How would you adapt while remaining authentic?
  • What strategies can help you balance confidence with empathy?
  • How can you use authenticity as a strength in this situation rather than seeing it as a limitation?

 

Scenario 3 – Supporting Others’ Growth
You notice a colleague who consistently downplays her achievements or hesitates to take credit for her work.

  • How might you mentor or support her in building visible confidence?
  • What leadership behaviours could you model to normalise authenticity and self-recognition?

 

Reflection prompts:

  • What practices most help you connect with your authentic leadership style?
  • How can confidence and humility coexist in your approach to leadership?
  • What can you do to help others feel empowered to lead as their true selves?
