"Being the sidekick in your own story isn’t just about staying in the background—it’s about letting your doubts and fears dictate your actions. And that’s why it’s so important to recognise when those fears are holding you back, and to challenge them."
Episode Overview: In this episode of Her Leadership Coach, we’re diving into the concept of the hero’s journey and how it applies to leadership. While many of us are familiar with the idea of the hero in movies and books, what happens when we bring that concept into our own lives? For many women, stepping into the hero role can feel daunting, and we often find ourselves playing the sidekick instead. Rochelle shares her thoughts on why this happens, personal stories from her leadership journey, and how to find the balance between stepping up and stepping back.
Takeaways:
Why so many women feel more comfortable in the sidekick role and the cultural and personal reasons behind it.
Leadership is not about always being in the spotlight—it’s about recognising when it’s your time to step up and when it’s time to let others shine.
Your inner saboteur can keep you from being the hero of your own journey, but recognising and challenging that voice can lead to growth and empowerment.
Sometimes being a great leader means stepping back and allowing others to take the lead, creating a more powerful and effective team dynamic.
Call to Action: Reflect on where you’ve been playing the sidekick in your own life or career. What would it look like if you stepped into the hero role? How would that change your approach to leadership?
