Many of the women that I work with struggle when it comes to holding team members accountable. But the truth is that accountability is one of the greatest forms of self-care that you can create for yourself as a business owner—even when it’s difficult. When you’re not taking care of yourself, you’re not taking care of your business. Period.

In this week’s episode of the Leadership is Feminine podcast, we’re digging deep into the archives of my old podcast, How to Lead for Female Entrepreneurs, to bring you a relevant and timely episode that we thought worthy of another listen, given our theme of Leadership as Self-Care.

Let’s re-imagine what it means to hold others accountable, thus treating ourselves to more of the self-care that we deserve as women, business owners, and human beings.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND IN THIS EPISODE:

• What ‘accountability’ really is and when it can actually be a positive thing.
• How a lack of accountability can lead to mental and physical exhaustion.
• A client story that demonstrates the relationship between accountability and self-care.
• The importance of creating clear expectations for your employees and showing them how to win.

Throughout my time as a coach, I’ve noticed a pattern of powerlessness when it comes to women. This is not only in their relationships with men, but also within themselves, and this general lack of power often leads to victimhood.

Another observation is that being an entrepreneur often pushes women to completely unexpected leadership growth which can cause challenges in their partnerships. Because in order to be the women needed to run their businesses, they have to stand differently in their relationships with their partners.

Let’s look at what it means to take back your power – to be the truest version of yourself, and how that can help you as both a person and a woman running a business.

What you'll learn from this episode:

1. Different behaviors that can result from being a victim.
2. About being a victim of your employees’ behavior.
3. Fear around being powerful - around not being the victim, but to being the director of your life and your business.
4. The story of the monkeys that were separated on an island by a huge wall.
5. Affecting change for women around the world who are living in environments with little opportunity.
