But it works.
This technique will help you transform into a powerful values-aligned leader who leads with confidence, grace, ease, and impact.
🛑 STOP Being a Weak Ass Leader 🛑
Before you jump into the framework, choose a
scenario/ dynamic/ situation where your weak leadership is causing the most friction or keeps you stuck.
Use that specific sticky spot through the 3 steps below.
Choose the scenario that feels the most shame-filled, embarrassing, or cringe-worthy.
A blank digital document or paper and pen.
STEP 1:
Where’s the fear?
Weak leadership is rooted in one central place:
My Dad always told me ‘fear” stands for
F
alse
E
vidence
A
ppearing
R
eal. Let’s apply Solid-Dad-Wisdom for step one & courageously pull your fear into the light.
Call to mind the various dynamics that are active in your chosen scenario:
My friend, what lives under the story
. Say ciao to it!
It’s just false evidence that feels sooooo fucking real and scary. Don't panic. It’s not real. It’s here to teach you something.

(choose a value)
.
Claim it:
“Yes, I'm afraid of _____
(pull from above)
but I’m choosing to courageously take action that aligns with my value of _____ (value from above). I’m committed to getting compassionately curious about where that [asshole] fear came from and writing a new fear-less leadership story.
STEP 2:
It’s hard to notice your leadership has been weak sauce. But it also means you are an active, mindful, and present leader willing to grow.
Your humility & courage are what make you an impactful leader. By choosing to use this as an opportunity to grow,
🤘Hell yes!

Growing pains are not comfy, and you need INSPIRATION.
You’ve grabbed so much clarity and insight from steps one and two; now, let’s inspire you to finish the process.
To help you zoom out and get perspective on your scenario, I want you to literally pull this screen far away from your face zone. Get actual physical distance from your device.
Now, mentally and energetically, zoom out 80,000 feet above your weak leadership scenario.
Notice how this opportunity holds the possibility to:
Name it:
By leaning into this experience I'm becoming a leader who's known for _____
(3 words max)
