How to Lead Your Company with Power feat. EMILY FEAIRS

Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs

Show Notes

Many women in leadership positions find themselves exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering why they can't seem to get ahead despite working harder than everyone around them.

In this episode, Eleanor sits down with Emily Feairs, co-founder of Our Time to Lead and high-impact leadership coach, to break down what power actually is and why so many high-achieving women struggle to claim it. Emily spent her career advising some of the most powerful leaders in the country, from cabinet ministers and CEOs to executive teams navigating complexity, conflict, and change, and she's noticed a pattern that keeps women stuck.

Tune in this week as Eleanor and Emily dive into how women become the organizational safety net and thereby lose authority. You'll learn why clear is kind and how withholding direct feedback is actually the unkind choice. Emily breaks down what leadership looks like when you have a team, and how to use resentment as an indicator that boundaries have been crossed.
