Gutsy Leadership
Discover your gutsy moves to lead with ROCK-SOLID Confidence
The Top 3 Principles of Gutsy Leadership:
# 1 Be clear on how you are being perceived, and how you relate to others.
# 2 Be willing to act on instinct in the face of the fear of rejection, fear of looking foolish, and fear of failure.
# 3 Take 100% responsibility for your life and results.
It's the self-awareness component that's not often emphasized in professional and leadership development and yet where we find the greatest shifts made in leadership levels and impact. The how-to business advice on what you should do typically overshadows who to be, that mindful element of actively listening to others and tapping into your instinct. Yet it's that intuitive-gut gene and emotional energy alignment that accounts for 90% of what you create in your life versus the things that you are doing.
So exactly what is Gutsy Leadership? It's a leadership style that is characterized by taking bold and decisive action in the face of uncertainty or risk. It involves being confident, resilient, and adaptable, and having the courage to make difficult decisions.
Gutsy leaders put their vision and mission ahead of their personal interests and are not afraid to challenge the status quo or make unpopular decisions. They embrace change and innovation and are always looking for ways to improve and grow. They also prioritize their values are authentic and transparent in their communication and build strong relationships with their team and stakeholders.

Gutsy Moves shared by professionals in our community:
"My gusty move is I emailed 4 key recruiters in my job search for an update. I was procrastinating doing this because of non-response in the past but I got it done and was proud of the detailed email I sent rather than the bland 1 liner I used in the past. After doing this I got the confidence to reach out to a new contact I made this morning within one of my target companies requesting an informational call. Next up is networking and cold calling hiring managers!"
"The gutsiest move I have made is to ask for my worth by raising my prices on my yoga and spiritual guiding sessions."
"I moved 5,000 miles from home for work as a single parent with my autistic son... new country, new environment."
"I spoke up to all white, male leadership about lack of voice or action in DEI space."
"When I was a senior manager at a new company, I took a VP to HR who was bullying me. Everyone was afraid, but I was ready to fall on the sword because I felt the options were not good for me. He was moved to another team and 3 months, I left to go to a more progressive company."
"I moved cross country to pursue my masters degree, not knowing one person."
"I completely shifted my career - pursued a lateral opportunity in a completely different discipline/dept in my company with no direct experience. I communicated my transferable skills and got the role - and was just promoted this past December."
"I left a job in Europe to accept a position in Johannesburg - it was a life changing experience to live, work and travel across sub-Saharan Africa for 3 years."
