49. The Executive Pause: How Leaders Command a Room with Silence
You're in a high-stakes meeting. A question comes your way, and panic sets in. Most people scramble to answer, rushing to prove they belong… but the leaders who truly command the room operate differently. They pause, and in that silence, the entire dynamic shifts.This week, I'm exploring the executive pause: a powerful yet underused tool that transforms how you're perceived in meetings and how you feel about your own authority. This isn't about learning another strategy or framework; it's about mastering silence as a form of leadership presence.Listen in today to discover why silence feels so awkward, how senior executives use pauses to signal thoughtfulness and long-term perspective, and practical techniques to implement immediately. Most importantly, you'll understand how growing your executive maturity is all about changing your delivery.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: www.aspire-coaching.co/49Mentioned in this episode:Enjoying the Show?I'd love for you to take a moment to follow, rate and leave a review.

48. Why Real Empowerment Feels Wrong Before It Feels Right
Your brain equates the familiar with safe. Even when the familiar is burnout, overwork, and being everyone's go-to person. Even when the familiar means putting yourself last. That's why when you finally take that vacation, set that boundary, or step into a bigger role, something unexpected happens. Instead of feeling powerful, you feel guilty. Instead of feeling free, you feel like you're doing something wrong. But real empowerment doesn't arrive with fanfare and instant confidence. It shows up as discomfort, as your old identity fights to pull you back.Tune in this week as I break down why empowerment feels wrong before it feels right, and how to navigate the messy middle between who you were and who you're becoming.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: www.aspire-coaching.co/48Mentioned in this episode:Enjoying the Show?I'd love for you to take a moment to follow, rate and leave a review.
