271: The Selfish Leader: How Prioritizing YOU Can Help Your Business Grow Rapidly with/ Dawn Christian
Manage episode 508349262 series 1770619
Selfish. That word alone probably makes you tense up. Most of us were raised to believe that being selfish is wrong, especially as Black entrepreneurs carrying the weight of family, community, and proving ourselves in business. The idea of putting yourself first feels uncomfortable, maybe even impossible. Yet constantly putting yourself last is the fastest way to burn out and stall your growth.
In this episode, leadership advisor and coach Dawn Christian, founder of BeLeadership, flips the script on what it means to be selfish. After 25 years of leading billion-dollar product launches in corporate and then pivoting into entrepreneurship, Dawn knows firsthand how dangerous self-neglect can be and how transformational self-prioritization truly is. She shares her Ethos Driven Leadership framework, practical ways to set boundaries, and why choosing yourself is actually the best thing you can do for your business.
DURING THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
What it really means to be a selfish leader and why that choice fuels growth
The four pillars of Ethos Driven Leadership, purpose, needs, beliefs, influence
Clear signs you are neglecting yourself as a leader and how to course correct
How to create capacity, delegate with confidence, and move from teams to collaborators
Practical boundary practices that protect your time, energy, and focus
Why authenticity beats performance and how alignment attracts the right partners and clients
