Have you ever felt the weight of trying to fit into a leadership style that just doesn't resonate with you? In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles chats with Monique Svazlian Tallon, an executive coach and expert in feminine leadership. Monique shares her journey of working in Silicon Valley, where she faced the tough choice of leading like her male counterparts or carving out a new path that felt true to her.
This decision led her to develop unique insights on how women can overcome gender bias and thrive as leaders. Monique dives into neuroscience research that reveals how women's brains are naturally wired for empathy, intuition, and collaboration—qualities that are increasingly valued in today's leaders. She contrasts this with the traditional masculine style of leadership, which tends to be more top-down and directive.
Through her extensive research, Monique has crafted a visionary roadmap called The Feminine Leadership Model, designed to play to women's strengths and help them rise in their careers. Whether you're a seasoned executive, a mid-career manager, or just starting out, Monique's insights are invaluable. She emphasizes the importance of self-confidence and authenticity, offering practical exercises to silence inner critics and build self-assurance.
This episode is not just about leadership; it's about embracing who you are and using your unique qualities to break through barriers. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that encourages women to lead with grace and effectiveness.
