Why Resilience Isn’t a Flex — And What Women Leaders Should Do Instead| S4 EP16
Manage episode 521363208 series 3573796
Belinda and Shelby host a candid conversation with a panel of high-achieving women from South Africa: Samantha Kavuma, Ayanda Nkosi, Lehlohonolo Siwundla, and Carmin Varnicker. We discuss internal barriers that can block our professional progress, such as limiting beliefs and doubting our own abilities.
We share practical leadership strategies, including the vital skill of knowing which battles are truly worth fighting, and why the word “resilience” is not the flex it seems to be. We encourage you to define your long-term vision by separating what you need from what you want, and give advice for budding entrepreneurs.
In this episode:
- Overcoming self-doubt and recognising your past achievements to shore up your confidence
- How resilience can sometimes be code for tolerating abuse
- Knowing you can’t speak up on every issue, and how to know when to speak up
- Tips for starting a coaching business
