Slay: Perform a Community Audit
Taking a look at the people you surround yourself with allows you to understand that “the ideas you hold onto are often a reflection of what you’ve been absorbing from the community at large.” Are folks in your community bringing you up or bringing you down? Do you feel supported? These sorts of reflections urge you to choose who and what you want to spend your time on; that way, you surround yourself with a solid foundation to be the best version of yourself.
Slay: Practice Self Care
In a busy life, filled with working toward fulfilling your goals, it is crucial to ask yourself the question: am I caring for myself the way that I should? Liz says, “in order for us to go after our wildest ambitions, we must be mentally, emotionally, and physically sound.” Prioritizing sleep, nourishing food, and self-love are a few parts of building a self-care routine that will help power you through your busiest days. In this episode, you will write down some activities you can do to practice self-care and refuel your mind, body, and spirit.
Slay: Add 20% more
You have what it takes to accomplish your dreams, and then some. In this episode, Liz urges you to visualize your goals and add 20% to them. This could mean anything from increasing how much money you’d like to make, or how big you’d like your company to be. Bringing voice to your dreams can be scary but it is an important step in realizing your potential and propensity to achieve your wildest aspirations.
Slay: Build Conviction
In this journaling exercise, join Liz in writing about all the amazing things you are good at. By reflecting, we are beginning to see the many ways we are honest or dishonest with ourselves. You are capable and great at so many more things than you know, it’s just a matter of realizing your full potential and acting with conviction and confidence.
Slay: Define Yourself
Impostor syndrome does not define you. You define yourself. Make sure to have a pen and paper for this episode as you will be reflecting on your dreams and goals. Nothing is out of reach if you are ambitious and believe in yourself!
Slay: Hello, Impostor Syndrome
Before diving into methods to combat imposter syndrome, you must first have a good sense of what it means. This episode invites you to reflect on your behaviors to see if you suffer from impostor syndrome. And if you do, acknowledge it, own it, and get ready because we are about to get into ways to tackle it.
Bold Questions: Exploring your Values
In this last episode of the series, Irene talks about values, which are expressions of how you view yourself and expressions of what you hope for in the world. Your actions, the folks you hire, the content you put online, and more, are all reflections of our values. Irene encompasses this beautifully when she says: “you have skills, stories, experiences, perspectives, and questions that can benefit those around you, unlock new possibilities and change the trajectory for so many people.” Your leadership is valuable. Always remember the power you have to transform your community for the better.
Bold Questions: Exploring your Methods
As Irene says, “leadership is more than a title…it’s a vibe!” Leadership doesn’t stop and start, it is an ongoing process that becomes informed by asking questions and making observations. By fusing the perspectives of others with your personal expertise, you can focus your attention on how to pivot your leadership style to ultimately maximize your impact.
Bold Questions: Exploring your Skills
Irene invites you to reflect on your skills in a way that centers you, your practice, and the muscle of feedback in this episode. By asking questions like: “how are you deeply curious about yourself?” and “who lives and leads in ways that inspire you?” Irene compels you to think about how your unique skills can improve, and how they can transform others. Don’t just think about proficiency skills like creating complex Excel sheets for example, but skills that allow you to bring people together and cause change for the better.
Bold Questions: Exploring your Impact
When reflecting on the question, “what do you do?” it is easy to think about who you are serving, as opposed to who you are being in a specific space. In this episode, Irene urges you to reframe this question with respect to your impact on others. At times, this question can also seem very restricting, as though we are only what we do. So, as important as work is, you are always more than what you “do.” Work doesn’t define you, your impact on others, and how you decide to communicate this does.
Bold Questions: Explore Your Story
What does it mean to take care? Who is the “We” in your life? Exploring the junctions, places, people, and emotional growth in your life will lead you to bigger and better questions like: “Why Not Me” and “Who else is making questions on my behalf?” and “How will I live and lead with my values?” In this session, Irene shares her own experience and creates a framework for how you can explore your own story and turn those insights into actionable strategies for growth.
