S2 EP 02: From Insecure to Influential: Embracing Visibility as a Woman Leader
Are you a woman leader struggling with visibility? You're not alone! In this episode, we explore the challenges women face when stepping into the spotlight, from photo shoots and public speaking to leading boardrooms. We delve into the surprising disconnect between how we see ourselves and how others perceive us, and why so many women leaders feel awkward or insecure on camera.
Embracing Visibility as a Woman Leader is crucial for your success and impact. This powerful conversation features Paige Ray, a commercial photographer and videographer passionate about supporting women in being seen and heard. With a decade of industry experience, Paige's work has been published in The Huffington Post, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Glamour (Paris), Whitespace Magazine, and more. Her photos have been exhibited at PhotoLA and won 1st Place for the U.S. at the 2015 Sony World Photography Awards. Joining Paige are Susan Hobson, Shelley West, and Liane Wansbrough, as they tackle the tough questions:
• Why does the spotlight trigger so many insecurities for women?
• How do generational differences impact our comfort with visibility?
• What's the pressure like for women leaders to be "authentic," and how do we navigate it?
• Is social media helping or hurting our self-image? We discuss the impact of filters and unrealistic beauty standards.
• The Pamela Anderson effect: How are women redefining beauty and visibility in the public eye?
• What does "raw" mean when it comes to presenting ourselves, and how can we find the balance between authenticity and professionalism?
Join Paige, Susan, Shelley, and Liane as they discuss self-authorization, overcoming imposter syndrome, and building confidence as a woman leader. Learn how to embrace your authentic self, take up space, and inspire others to do the same. This is more than just about photos; it's about owning your power and shaping your legacy.
Embrace your authentic self and become a more visible leader. Book a free consultation today to explore how self-leadership can help you achieve this.
