So, let's get personal for a moment.
đŁïž How do you feel about your own voice? Really think about it.
If you're anything like me, there have been times when listening to a recording of yourself made you squirm a bit. But here's the thing: as a leader, your voice isn't just something you useâitâs something that defines you.
It's not about whether you have the perfect radio voice; it's about how you use what you've got to connect, influence, and lead with confidence.Your voice is more than just sound waves; it's the gateway to your "sympathy score" and your "confidence score." Itâs not just about the words you choose but how those words are delivered.
Letâs explore why your voice is more important in leadership than you might have realized.

But hereâs the thing: Being nice doesn't mean being a doormat. In fact, true leadership often requires the opposite. Let's dig into the world of Niceness...

Perfectionism is a trap. Itâs pure inaction in a fancy gift wrap đ
Perfectionist, raise your hand if you plead guilty. My hand is high right now, even if not as high as what it used to be.

A coaching client of mine once came to me and dropped this line:
âMy team wonât buy-in this critical company change and Iâm fed upâ đ«„
I could feel their frustration build up as they were elaborating on the context. âOur organization asks for too much; With the lay-offs around the corner, of course we need to take on more responsibilities, but new processes and more responsibilities when you lack capacity, really?â
Well yeah; thatâs the reality of being a Manager. Navigating change.

The world is filled with coaches and content pushing you to be the absolute best version of yourself. While there's value in growth, what if I told you it's okayâeven vitalâto start by embracing who you are, right here, right now?
Imperfections, doubts, and all. After all, those are part of the human experience.
Sure, we all have those momentsâ feeling stuck, scared, even a little broken. But guess what? That's part of being human. It's not okay, however, to stay in that place. Remember, your future self, the leader you're striving to be, is waiting on the other side of fear and complacency.

Have you ever felt like the way you express yourself changes from one language to another? Maybe you're more direct in your native language, or maybe you find yourself more reserved when you're speaking English.
I've certainly experienced this. I'm French, and while I'm fluent in English, sometimes my accent and different cultural background can make it a challenge to feel truly understood in high-level leadership roles. But that same background has helped me bring a fresh perspective to the industries I've worked in.

Have you ever felt that jolt of panic when the word "conflict" pops up? A little rush of anxiety? Or maybe you get pumped up, ready for a fight? I sure have!

Hey fellow leaders in tech! Today, I'm diving into a problem that trips up even the best leaders â unspoken expectations. Think about it...have you ever been frustrated, not knowing exactly what your boss, your team, your client needed from you? That haze of uncertainty? It's the worst!
But here's the thing, as leaders, I think sometimes we do this to ourselves too. See, so many of the leaders who come to me for coaching are secretly wishing for something specific, but they haven't put it into words, not even to themselves. And you know what happens then?
Resentment builds, projects stall, and that awesome team dynamic starts to fall apart. Yikes.
That's why, today, I want to challenge you to get courageous and dig into expectations setting! Find the full transcript and more resources for leaders at BetterLeaderGrowth.io/6.

Imagine this: you're at the helm of a high-growth tech startup. Investors or your N+1 and N+2 are breathing down your neck, deadlines are dangerously approaching, and your team is looking to you for answers. The pressure is just part of the landscape, like a tree in a forest. And honestly, you're starting to crack.
You know the burnout statistics. You hear all the wellness buzzwords. But deep down, you're convinced there's no other way: If you slow down, even for a second, the whole thing might crumble.
Well, I'm here to tell you I lived that story. And it really annoyed me. But then, something shifted â a moment of clarity that changed everything. It all started with tomatoes, a monk, and a lesson I wasn't expecting....

Building a team, whether from scratch or adding new members, reminds me of those delicate card castles. It takes focus, patience, and basically forever to build that foundation. One misplaced card or a sudden gust of wind... poof! Sound familiar?
So much goes into building teams AND making them perform â especially in the fast-paced tech world. I've built my fair share of card castles, aka teams, and let me tell you, some have been stunners, others... well, let's just say there were lessons learned along the way.
Letâs dig into the theory and practice behind building performing teams.

Imagine building a team so resilient that challenges become fuel rather than roadblocks. Imagine yourself equipped to navigate the tech landscape's inevitable ups and downs with clarity and focus. That's the power of resilience, and it's more important than you might think.
As a tech leader, I've seen firsthand how uncertainty can shake even the strongest teams. During a particularly unstable period, with lay-offs looming large, I noticed something great.
My team kept performing at a high level compared to others. When I asked why, the answer was clear: they didn't sense the same tension or pressure.
Despite the external shaky events, they felt a sense of belonging, calm and focus within our team dynamic. This experience taught me the profound impact of a resilient leader, not just on their own well-being, but on the entire team's ability to weather any storm.
So, how to build this resilience superpower? Let's dive in!

I can tell you that the search for balance is important for me. More specifically since I've realised my tendency to overdo it at work until being close to burning myself out. Twice.
Has this happened to you already?
The notion of work-life balance is, in my opinion, pretty blurry and still, it always seems to be the holy grail to achieve.
But how are you supposed to find balance in a constantly evolving and changing world? With the overwhelming list of never-ending to-dos? With kids crying in the background? With performance pressure? With conflicts within the team?
I used to find the perfect balance when I was on holidays, sipping a fresh coconut on the beach. Was it really balance though? On holidays, there is no more work (normally) so Itâs not truly balancing work-life : do you see what I mean?
Letâs check what balanced leaders do instead of chasing work-life balance.
