🌟 How It Started
Three years ago, I was deep in the final stages of my master’s thesis on inclusive leadership—a pivotal moment where I began transforming my passion for inclusion into a leadership framework that drives meaningful change.

🌟 How It’s Going
Today, I’m headed to NYC to present on stage with 1,400 Women of the Channel. I’ll be sharing insights on how understanding who we are can shape and strengthen the organizations we lead.

✨ What a journey these three years have been!

To anyone feeling uncertain about their career or questioning if their talents are being fully realized: trust yourself, find your why, and pursue it relentlessly.

💡Remember: The time will pass anyway—make it count by investing in what lights you up. Your passion could be the foundation for extraordinary leadership.

👋🏾 Shout out to the men in my network with hetero-normative expectations.

🧺 If you’re NOT doing laundry, washing dishes, cleaning the house, caring for the children you helped make because you’ve had a long week at work….

👩🏾‍💻 Remember: so has your partner.

🤑 Also, male allies, if you’re not advocating for gender equity in pay as a manager. You’re doing it wrong.

(3) REALLY INEFFECTIVE THINGS I HAVE DONE AS A LEADER

Leadership is about motivating people toward a goal - so I want to share some things I did that completely wasted my time, costing me the trust of those I lead.  

I hope I can help you avoid the same mistakes I made as a leader! 

1) Focus on tasks, not people. 
I thought the more I drove toward actions, I would succeed. But most people don't work just to work. People want connection.  

2) Rely on my position as "manager" to give me authority. 
I believed that my team should do what I say because I said it. I'm the boss. That's it. That's all. But I quickly realized no one follows a dictator because they want to. Fear is not a motivator. 

3) Micromanage.
Following up with emails minutes after they're sent. Assigning projects without the empowerment of decision-making. Constantly communicating how little I trusted my teams. 

I did all this because I was scared that my teams would learn how fragile my leadership was. 

Well, it turns out that it wasted my time because they already saw it. By focusing on tasks, my position, and over management I limited our productivity. But more importantly, I alienated those I was leading. 

Now, it's your turn! What things have you done unsuccessfully as a leader?
