005 | How to Create a Powerful Voice and Presence as Female Leaders - with Ilana Levine
How can you stop waiting for permission and lead a community, a company, or a movement with confidence?
How do you stay true to yourself and your dreams, when people say “no” more often than they say “yes” to you?
And how can we stop wasting our talents, our time, and our energy so we can truly make an impact on the world?
To answer these questions, I invited my friend, Broadway actress and podcast host, Ilana Levine to My Good Woman.
Her podcast, Little Known Facts, gives people space to share their magnificence - because if there’s one thing Ilana excels at, it’s helping people unlock their true potential. Ilana has a gift for making her podcast guests and listeners feel at home because her conversations are unfiltered, raw, honest, and so freaking funny!
And today the shoe is on the other foot. She’s in MY digital living room. Lucky me!
In this episode Ilana and I discuss
- Why podcasts are such a powerful way to find and elevate your voice
- Finding a way to do the work you love
- Fighting perfectionism
- How we can use humor as a tool to deal with challenges gracefully
- Giving people space to share their magnificence
This episode at a glance:
[09:36] Staying true to yourself and to your dream, despite the naysayers. How to hold on to the certainty that what you have to offer is unique and special - when many people are in your way.
[12:45] Why women sometimes feel they need permission to do what they love (and how much talent, time and energy is wasted by that)
[23:07] Things that make your life move and work more smoothly: outsourcing what you don’t like to do.
[39:45] Ilana looks at herself as a “producer”: someone who’s in charge of figuring out how to give everyone they work or live with the tools to bring out the best in them.
[46:40] Why we need to own our roles as leaders - and how that starts at home, with our family and our community. (and the introduction of hashtag #uniquequal)
[50:52] The message Ilana would put on her Times Square billboard: “Believe!” We need to believe that we have every right to have our voices heard and ideas shared. That we are worthy of a place at whatever table we want to sit at.
