Ruth Easterling: Leadership Solutions

Ruth Easterling: Leadership Solutions I help leaders answer the question, "What am I known for?" and "What am I for?".

As a leadership trainer, speaker, and coach, I help leaders identify issues and find solutions both professionally and personally.

Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt like you belonged?

That's what we're creating at Empowering Women.

A room where you don't have to have all the answers.
A room where you can share wins and challenges.
A room where women genuinely want to see each other succeed.

Because leadership isn't meant to be a solo journey.

Every month, women from different backgrounds, industries, and stages of life come together to encourage one another and grow together.

And every month, I'm reminded how powerful community can be.

Join us this month.

Entrepreneurship can feel lonely.

You’re building something from the ground up, figuring things out as you go, carrying the weight of it all.

And sometimes it feels like you’re the only one.

But you’re not.

The moment you reach out—
ask a question, share your struggle, or say “I need help”—
everything shifts.

Because there’s always someone who’s been there.

🌱 Growth happens faster when we stop doing it alone.

Every leader influences someone. The question is — what direction are you taking them?

Influence is not optional — it's inevitable.

Whether you know it or not, people are watching how you handle pressure, how you treat others, and how you show up every single day.

That's the weight of leadership. But it's also the opportunity.

The leaders who change lives are the ones who use their influence to:
🔹 Lift others higher
🔹 Create more leaders — not more followers
🔹 Leave every room better than they found it

Your influence is a gift. Use it on purpose.

Sometimes the most important growth doesn’t look loud.
It looks like:

• Taking a moment to pause

• Saying no without guilt

• Trusting your voice in the room

• Letting go of the pressure to be everything to everyone

This is the kind of growth we make space for at Empowering Women to Lead.
Not rushed. Not forced.

Just real, intentional progress.

If you’ve been needing space to think, reflect, and reconnect with yourself as a woman and a leader—you’re invited.

The most powerful thing a leader can do is make themselves replaceable.

Here's what most leaders get wrong — they hoard influence instead of multiplying it.

Empowering leaders know this truth:
👉 Your influence grows when you invest it into others.

When you develop your people:
✅ Your team performs at a higher level
✅ Your organization scales beyond YOU
✅ Your legacy outlives your role

Stop being the bottleneck. Start being the catalyst.

Not everyone follows you for the same reason — and that's the key to everything.

Maxwell's 5 Levels of Leadership show us that influence grows in stages:

📍 Level 1 — Position: They follow because they have to.
📍 Level 2 — Permission: They follow because they want to.
📍 Level 3 — Production: They follow because of what you've done.
📍 Level 4 — People Development: They follow because of what you've done for THEM.
📍 Level 5 — Pinnacle: They follow because of who you ARE.

The goal? Move your people up the ladder — and take them with you. Be a leader of influence.

Your team isn't disengaged. They're uninspired — and there's a difference.

Influence doesn't flow from fear. It flows from trust.

Before your team will follow your vision, they need to believe in YOU.

3 ways to build influence with your people:
1️⃣ Show up consistently — even when it's hard
2️⃣ Do what you say you'll do
3️⃣ Put their growth before your ego

Trust is the currency of influence. Spend it wisely.

Leadership isn't about your title. It's about your influence.

John Maxwell said it best — "Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less."

If you want to lead people effectively, stop relying on your position and start building genuine connections.

Real influence is earned through:
✅ Consistency
✅ Credibility
✅ Character

The moment people trust WHO you are, they'll follow WHERE you're going.

Leadership is not about your title. It never was.

John Maxwell says it this way: "Leadership is influence — nothing more, nothing less."

That one sentence has a way of rearranging things.

Because it means the person with the most clout in the room isn't always the one with the highest rank. It means people follow you — or they don't — based on something far more personal than a job title. And it means influence is something you build, day by day, through trust, consistency, and genuine care for the people around you.

That's exactly what we're unpacking on Tuesday, May 19.

📍 Renton Chamber of Commerce
📅 Tuesday, May 19 · 9:00 AM

We're diving into the Law of Influence — one of John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership — and exploring what it looks like to lead in a way that actually moves people.

Whether you're leading a team of 2 or 200, this conversation is for you.

Come ready to think. Come ready to grow.
