LEADERS ARE CHAMPIONS (FOR THEMSELVES AND OTHERS)

Imposter syndrome, inner criticism, insecurity - all of these things can get in the way when we want to make a change and have an impact.

These resources are helpful when you're underestimating yourself and helping you to champion others. 

  • This article from Forbes offers actions for women in championing themselves and others.

  • Amplifying or championing the voices of others generates results - more on this research from Bain et al. is shared in this HBR article.

  • Fundamental to championing ourselves is the practice of self-compassion. More on this connection is shared in this TedTalk from Dr. Kristin Neff.

THE PRACTICE

Take a moment to write down your responses to the following:

  • What am I committed to?

  • What is my contribution to these commitments?

  • What is the impact I hope to have in the world?
