Welcome back to Season 4! This week, we discuss a question we hear frequently from our coaching clients: What does it mean when you have all the authority on paper, but still feel like you can't make decisions?The Big QuestionWhat does it mean when you are in the position of authority, but you don't feel like you can make decisions or feel empowered?The 3-Step Process to Reclaim Your AuthorityStep 1: Identify What's Blocking YouAsk yourself: "What's keeping me from making these decisions?" Tools like journaling and asking deeper questions can help you get clarity.Step 2: Address the Limiting BeliefsCommon blocks include fear of not being liked, not wanting to be wrong, or not trusting yourself. Once you identify these beliefs, you can address them through approaches like custom affirmations or professional support when needed.Step 3: Build Skills and ToolsAfter addressing mindset, you may find gaps in practical skills like having difficult conversations or making structured decisions—and that's when building those capabilities becomes essential.Remember: You must address the mindset first. All the skills won't help if you haven't made the decision to step into your authority.Key TakeawayThe blocker is usually something deeper than the surface-level decision. Start with introspection, get clarity through journaling, and take imperfect action.Have a question for the show?
