How often do you stop to celebrate your own achievements as a leader? During this episode of the Graced to Lead podcast, I share a personal story that prompted me to rethink my approach to self-recognition. After a conversation with my daughter, I realized the importance of celebrating even the smallest wins, especially as women in leadership roles. Join me as I recount my journey from setting low expectations for this podcast to surpassing them, highlighting the critical need to always acknowledge and celebrate our accomplishments.

In this episode, I share transparently about what hindered my self-recognition and what I did to change it. I also delve into the concept of false humility, exploring how it can mask our true achievements and impede growth. This episode sets the stage for upcoming discussions on leading with purpose, managing busyness, and granting oneself permission to rest, underscoring the necessity of leading with intention.

Take a listen and as always, remember, you are graced to lead!

Leadership can often feel like a solitary climb up a treacherous mountain. When you’re expected to guide others through storms of adversity, who guides you? In my conversation with Dr. Latrice Williams, we tackle the behind-the-scenes struggles that leaders, particularly Christian women, endure. As we peel back the curtain, Dr. Williams shares strategies for leading with integrity and how to stand firm in the tides of trial.

We explore how setting boundaries is an act of self-care, and how faith can be our compass in the darkest nights. Dr. Williams and I share how our trust in God has carried us through, proving that the most profound leadership is born not in the absence of trials, but through them. Join us as we affirm that the path of faith-based leadership, while sometimes challenging, paves the way for the deepest growth and the most enduring strength.
