Ep #202: How to Stop Being Nervous Around People in Authority

So many women leaders struggle when they’re face-to-face with a person in authority. You may have experienced this before. The anxious, bumbling, blood-pressure-spiking feeling you get when in the presence of a high-level leader – even when you’re just having a regular conversation and even if that leader happens to be the nicest person in the world. If you’re struggling with this, you’re not alone. I’ve literally been dealing with this issue for my entire life. I’ve investigated it. I’ve worked on it. And the good news is, I've come up with some tools to help myself (and you) deal with it. So on this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m pulling back the curtain on my longstanding trouble with being in the presence of people in authority AND I’m offering some really simple, easier-to-follow advice that will help you have interactions and conversations with people in authority that don’t just feel less stressful, but actually feel really good.
