Influence is one of the most powerful skills a leader can have. As women, however, it’s easy to feel that we have to work twice as hard to gain the same level of buy-in.
The truth is, influence is less about asserting yourself and more about strategically aligning your vision with the needs and goals of those around you. In "The Fearless Female Leader," I share practical insights to help you expand your influence authentically, so you can lead impactful change without compromising your values.
Throughout my career, I’ve coached countless executives who felt sidelined or unsupported in pushing forward initiatives they were deeply passionate about. The key to changing this isn’t about “playing politics” or “being more assertive.” Instead, it’s about mastering the art of connecting your goals to what matters most to your stakeholders, whether it’s the board, the CEO, or your team.
3 Key Elements for Expanding Your Influence
Another stark fact is:
Women on boards or in executive roles are 54% less likely than men to have mentors who actively coach them on influencing board members and navigating board dynamics (Lean In, 2022). This mentorship gap contributes to challenges in building the strategic alliances needed to gain buy-in effectively.
If you’re ready to enhance your influence and create meaningful change, I’d love to connect with you to discuss how I can support your journey in gaining buy-in and having an even greater impact
Cheering you on always,
Sheryl
