Embark on another transformative journey with Dominic George on the Vision Leadership for LIFE podcast. In this episode, Dominic tackles a leadership tension many Black mid-level managers face on the path to senior leadership: how to be heard without being labeled as aggressive, and how to assert authority without shrinking authenticity. Too often, the false choice is presented, tone yourself down so others feel comfortable, or push harder and risk being seen as threatening. This episode breaks that cycle, showing you how to embody influence without aggression.Join Dominic as he unpacks the three pillars of true influence, presence, assertiveness, and authenticity. Learn why presence sets the tone before you even speak, how assertiveness can be clarity without hostility, and why authenticity is your greatest leadership currency. Through personal stories, real-world examples, and actionable strategies, this episode gives you the tools to shift the room without raising your voice.Listeners will gain insights into building emotional intelligence in high-stakes environments, using silence as a powerful leadership tool, and finding the balance between confidence and control. Dominic challenges you to reflect: where do you hold back out of fear of being misunderstood, and where do you overcompensate with unnecessary force? The answers to these questions will unlock your ability to influence outcomes without compromising your identity.This episode is more than theory, it’s a blueprint for breaking through leadership ceilings by mastering strategic assertiveness while staying true to yourself. It’s for every Black man ready to step into executive spaces with unapologetic presence, commanding respect without demanding it.Music: That DayMusician: Jeff KaaleElevate your journey with Vision Leadership for LIFE.#LeadershipDevelopment #CareerCoach #BlackMen #Leaders
