Hiring the COVID Candidate | S01 Episode 07

Visionary women experience similar challenges. A visionary woman isn't just a visionary in her business, she's a visionary in her life. She often feels unseen, unheard, isolated and empty because visionaries are the people that others go to for help, support, and love. So where does the visionary woman go to work out her worry? If you're a woman with a big dream on her heart and you know that there's so much more you want to do, but you feel frustrated and don't know how to manifest it all – you’re in the right place. Let’s talk about it. What you'll learn from this episode: 1. What is a visionary woman? The day to day fussy stuff that keeps us small. Peter Senge – do we change our reality to achieve the vision, or do we lower that vision to accommodate a comfortable reality? Kris’s latest Hawaii retreat attendees. Stop wasting time around whether or not you should do it. Instead, focus on actually doing it! Please click the like button above and leave a review if your favorite podcast app has that ability.

The Visionary Woman | S01 Episode 06

Many of the women that I work with struggle when it comes to holding team members accountable. But the truth is that accountability is one of the greatest forms of self-care that you can create for yourself as a business owner—even when it’s difficult. When you’re not taking care of yourself, you’re not taking care of your business. Period. In this week’s episode of the Leadership is Feminine podcast, we’re digging deep into the archives of my old podcast, How to Lead for Female Entrepreneurs, to bring you a relevant and timely episode that we thought worthy of another listen, given our theme of Leadership as Self-Care. Let’s re-imagine what it means to hold others accountable, thus treating ourselves to more of the self-care that we deserve as women, business owners, and human beings. WHAT YOU’LL FIND IN THIS EPISODE: What ‘accountability’ really is and when it can actually be a positive thing. How a lack of accountability can lead to mental and physical exhaustion. A client story that demonstrates the relationship between accountability and self-care. The importance of creating clear expectations for your employees and showing them how to win.

How Employee Accountability Fosters Entrepreneurial Self-Care | S01 Episode 05

Throughout my time as a coach, I’ve noticed a pattern of powerlessness when it comes to women. This is not only in their relationships with men, but also within themselves, and this general lack of power often leads to victimhood. Another observation is that being an entrepreneur often pushes women to completely unexpected leadership growth which can cause challenges in their partnerships. Because in order to be the women needed to run their businesses, they have to stand differently in their relationships with their partners. Let’s look at what it means to take back your power – to be the truest version of yourself, and how that can help you as both a person and a woman running a business. What you'll learn from this episode: Different behaviors that can result from being a victim. About being a victim of your employees’ behavior. Fear around being powerful - around not being the victim, but to being the director of your life and your business. The story of the monkeys that were separated on an island by a huge wall. Affecting change for women around the world who are living in environments with little opportunity.

A Conversation with Tanya Dalton | S01 Episode 03

Learning how to lead, learning the systems, the practices, the techniques of leadership is one of the highest forms of self-care for a female entrepreneur. Let’s talk about responsibility, boundaries, expectations and how your growth and self-care ultimately lead to the growth, development and success of others. What you'll learn from this episode: It’s intuitive and instinctual for women to care for, nurture and support people. Taking on more responsibility is fun! Having boundaries is selfish, unkind, irresponsible, not thoughtful, mean even. Female entrepreneurs and boundaries with their team. You can build leadership practices that are informed by your own feminine integrity. Keeping boundaries, even when it’s hard. Stop accepting other people's expectations as your responsibilities.

Should I Be Paying People More to Hire or Keep Them | Ep #132

Did you know that you can always reinvent your business? I hesitate to say RE-invent only because it almost says that we're doing something again. But it’s actually less about RE-inventing, and more about IN-venting. We have all been very insidiously infused with what we think the world, life, leadership and business should look like. The world is ready for all sorts of new ideas about what it means to lead, run a company, create a company, and manage people, and we all need to be at the forefront of that. Let’s start today! What you'll learn from this episode: The plans to rebrand and change the name of this podcast. Kris’s challenge choosing between a corporate job and starting a coaching business.

The Evolution of a Leader | Ep #130

Behavior is born out of emotions. So, whatever you feel drives your behavior - your actions in the world. And the only thing that we all can assess about one another is our actions. When a leader is cruel or mean, that’s someone who doesn't know how to manage an ego, who doesn't have self-awareness. One of the cornerstones of effective leadership is self-awareness. So today we’re talking about leaders taking responsibility for their space and not holding other people accountable for their emotional health. What you'll learn from this episode: All I experience from you are the words that come out of your mouth, the tone that's in your voice, the things you do with your body. Why, if you're in a position of authority, there’s no reason for you to use the negative emotion that translates into unmanaged behavior. How the thought model comes into play regarding self-awareness. Downton Abbey and not being a tool. Why leadership is harder than being powerful. How to tell when someone doesn't have self-awareness on a regular basis.

Mean Leaders | Ep #129

I know that you were born perfectly perfect. Your life “kit” was equipped with everything you need to live the life you want to live and to harness whatever you need to make things happen. But your kit didn’t come with instructions. So, this CEO tool allows you to use what you have without dictating to you who you're supposed to be. It leads to wisdom, and once you have wisdom, you can handle anything! What you'll learn from this episode: We were all designed perfectly, as was the “kit” we were given. What’s missing from our kit – the “what’s included” sheet, directions for assembling and a picture of what an assembled kit is supposed to look like. Many people get hung up looking at what other people’s assembled kits look like, and they think theirs should look the same – but we don’t all have the same kit. Mimicking, copying, or duplicating other people doesn't help you develop what's in your kit. The Remarkable allows me to use what I have, and then it follows me instead of it dictating to me who I'm supposed to be. It's a reflection of me. I don't have to fit into it. In How to CEO, we give you all of the tools and the perspective and the support. Then you have knowledge. We then coach you so that you apply that knowledge to who you are and who you're designed to be. Then you have wisdom. And once you have wisdom, when it comes to leadership and management and the team part of your company, you can handle anything.

The Best CEO Tool | Ep #128

It’s normal for human beings to desire comfort and to avoid change, but working for an entrepreneur can be “disruptive.” We need our employees to come along with us. So, what do you do when you have employees who settle and become complacent? It’s not really their fault. The first person you have to look at -- is you. What you'll learn from this episode: How comfort and safety can become so much a part of what employees think and feel that they don't really take their job seriously anymore. Complacency is a natural part of most relationships. The importance of doing regular coaching sessions, one-on-one feedback sessions and some sort of performance agreement/review process. If you’re feeling like you're not getting what you want from people on the team, like they don't share your level of enthusiasm - the first person to look at is you. How having clear expectations and clear goals can help. If they've been in the job for a while, shake it up. Challenge them a bit!

Complacent Employees | Ep #127

For women who run their own companies, taking a vacation can be a challenge. And FYI - going somewhere just so you're not in your house, but still working, is not vacation. That’s just going on a trip. That's virtual work. I’m talking about a real getaway from work! What you'll learn from this episode: The elements that go into being able to take a vacation. The dream is the team. Do you have a team that supports you? Why a clear business model and clear business processes are crucial. Why we need job descriptions, clear goals and knowing what results we're trying to achieve. The importance of developing your employees.
