Episode 37 - The FEEL Leadership Immersion with Melissa Crook: Leading with Empowerment, Wholeness, and Unapologetic Confidence

By Jessica Garrison

If you’re a visionary, creative, or entrepreneur, then this empowerment session is for you. When women are put into a position of power or leadership, there are people who wait for, or even root for her to fail. With The FEEL Leadership Immersion, host Melissa Crook is here to share with women how they can lead with confidence and without burnout.

A huge hurdle we want to see women jump is constantly apologizing. We often feel like an inconvenience or like we should be “grateful” to be in the room in the first place, but we have to stop telling ourselves these stories. You’ve earned your place at the table and deserve to be there just as much as anyone else. If we say sorry a lot in our daily lives, I think it’s safe to say we can triple it in the workplace. In this episode, Melissa shares some alternatives to saying sorry, such as, “Excuse me, could I have a moment of your time?” rather than starting off the conversation with an apology. It takes some unlearning, but the more you practice the better you’ll get and soon enough, you won’t even have to think about it. 

The responsibility of being a leader, especially as a woman, has immense pressure, but let this episode be a reminder to you that you have all of the power within yourself. Ask yourself: am I embracing my layers? Am I applying this to my work? Clarify what your why and values are, ensuring that you hold these close as you maneuver through uncharted territory. Continue to spread your wealth of knowledge as a confident, empowered leader.
