1 BIG Idea:

Leadership isn’t granted—it’s claimed. You don’t need permission to take up space, set boundaries, and thrive in leadership. When you stop waiting for approval and start leading with intention, you create lasting impact.

3 Ways to Apply This:

  1. Claim Your Leadership Space – Stop asking if you belong and start leading like you do.
  2. Set Boundaries That Protect Your Energy – Leadership isn’t sustainable without clear limits.
  3. Shift from Survival Mode to Thriving – Stop playing defense and start leading with purpose and confidence.


3 Questions to Ask Yourself:

  1. Where am I still waiting for permission to lead?
  2. What boundaries do I need to set to protect my leadership space?
  3. What does thriving in my leadership look like for me this year?
