Ep #224: How to Turn Your Big Impact into Executive-Level Influence

You’ve done things at your organization that no one else could do. Yet…That impact hasn’t translated into the recognition, title, or money you want, right? Here’s the problem: When it comes to earning your seat at the leadership table, influence matters more than impact. The power of influence is that it allows you to completely shift how the leadership team perceives you. It helps you transform the impact you are having into stories that not only highlight your accomplishments – but also demonstrates what a badass leader you already are. So how do you transform the impact you make into tangible influence that gets you what you want? And how do you do this while staying true to your authentic, powerful self? In this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’ll guide you through my process for turning your impacts into influence using real-life examples from six of my clients.

Ep #222: Unlock Your Executive Presence By Re-writing Your Leadership Story

I've discovered the secret to being seen as an executive leader doesn't lie in a sharp suit or a firm handshake—it's in the power of my storytelling and the energy I bring to every interaction. In this week’s episode, I delve into how storytelling is at the heart of executive presence. I share insights on how to project leadership qualities that go beyond the physical, how to harness the power of energetic storytelling to define your executive aura, how to communicate with confidence and vision (not just demonstrating expertise), and more. You don’t gain power and influence by asking for recognition; it happens through confidently claiming your space at the leadership table. By moving beyond trying to prove yourself and instead narrating your experience as resourced, composed, and ready for that next step. It’s time to redefine our leadership journeys and learn to turn our stories into our legacy. Let’s go.
