The Empowered Leader

Hey Leader,Thank you so much for investing in your leadership development by taking the Sticky Floor Quiz! As female leaders we face unique challenges and opportunities. Below, you’ll find your results, along with some practical tips for moving forward in your calling. Your Result: Slightly Sticky Floor (Like a sticky note)You scored at the Slightly Sticky Floor Level. You are a confident and successful leader. You’ve probably had some great role models and mentors invest in you, and you work hard to be self-aware and grow yourself as a leader and as a person. Although you may have moments when you wonder if your decisions will work out, or if you can fully complete a stretch assignment, you usually move forward into these types of risks with courage and energy. When you do have moments of insecurity or uncertainty, you have learned how to manage that internally so it easily peels off like a sticky note. In fact, you’ve become so good at redirecting your internal dialogue, most of your team and coworkers don’t even realize you have any sticky floor tendencies at all.Your Next Steps:Your best next investment is personalized coaching. Because you are already highly competent and a strong self-learner, a trusted and seasoned female leadership coach will provide a wealth of customized insight and support that will help you take your leadership to the next level. I encourage you to focus on clarifying your calling, making sure you are balancing the demands you have as a professional with the care you should be giving yourself and those you love, as well as making sure you are operating at a pace that is not only sustainable, but allows you to enjoy your life, leadership and the legacy you are building.If you already have experienced female ministry leaders in your network, I encourage you to reach out to them! However, if you find that you are among the majority of women leaders who do not have seasoned and mature female coaches they can trust, I would love to meet with you and help you take your leadership to the next level. In addition to resources you might find on your own, I highly recommend considering a LifePlan retreat. This is a one-on-one retreat with YOU at the center! Some churches have a budget to help cover the cost of LifePlans for staff, so be sure to ask your supervisor.Lastly, be sure to follow @FemaleChurchLeader on Instagram or check out my Coaching Guide. Female Church Leader is here to equip and encourage you with real support, honest conversations, and practical tools—so you can lead with confidence and clarity.

Hey Leader,Thank you so much for investing in your leadership development by taking the Sticky Floor Quiz! As female leaders we face unique challenges and opportunities. Below, you’ll find your results, along with some practical tips for moving forward in your calling. Your Results: Semi-Sticky Floor (like Scotch Tape)You have a strong desire to lead, but you tend to second-guess yourself more often than you’d like. Although you’re generally confident in your calling, you sometimes struggle with negative self-talk or insecurity. While you’re taking steps to move forward, you could benefit from strengthening your support system and asking for help more frequently. You may find yourself apologizing for your opinions or holding back in certain situations, but you’re aware of these tendencies and working to improve them.You scored at the Semi-Sticky Floor Level. You are a growing leader who’s not only investing time and energy in your work and in those you lead, but you’re also often carrying a heavy internal load of personal uncertainty, or doubt, about your ability to accomplish everything expected of you. Although those around you are often unaware of it, you invest a lot of effort to reframe your thinking, work on your leadership skills, and navigate the demands of people you are responsible for, including your own health and personal wellness. Some days (even most days!) you are able to juggle it all, but there are seasons and moments when you’re not sure how you will push through and what exactly to do differently.Your Next Steps:Your best next investment is consistent engagement with a trusted mentor or coach who will give you ongoing training and encouragement to help you apply your learnings into everyday, actionable steps that will improve your leadership effectiveness, strengthen your internal confidence, and guide you toward a more balanced approach to life and work. Most of your challenges are skill-based, which is great news! Because when you know better, you’ll do better. Continuing to add to your knowledge, ability, and truth-based internal dialogue on a consistent basis will help you fill in any gaps in your leadership foundation, and allow you to peel off that Scotch Tape one little piece at a time.In addition to resources you might find on your own, I highly recommend following @FemaleChurchLeader on Instagram or check out my Coaching Guide. Female Church Leader is here to equip and encourage you with real support, honest conversations, and practical tools—so you can lead with confidence and clarity.

Hey Leader,Thank you so much for investing in your leadership development by taking the Sticky Floor Quiz! As female leaders we face unique challenges and opportunities. Below, you’ll find your results, along with some practical tips for moving forward in your calling. Your Result: Super Sticky Floor (Like Elmer's Glue) You often find yourself in a cycle of hesitation and self-doubt. You may apologize for your thoughts or struggle to present yourself with confidence. Internal negativity tends to weigh you down, causing you to question your place in leadership or your potential. You find it difficult to ask for help and may feel overwhelmed by the demands on your plate. Despite this, you’re still working hard to contribute, though you often feel like you're in your own way. Support from others is needed to break through the barriers you're facing.You scored at the Super Sticky Floor Level. You’ve probably had some tough situations in which your leadership or abilities were not recognized right away nor supported. Although you are willing to help and serve, it can often be difficult to step into a leadership opportunity with full strength and confidence. You spend quite a bit of time and energy questioning yourself, your abilities, and if you “should” be doing this or that. Although you want to improve, getting honest feedback from your leaders feels hard and risky. You have a heart to serve, but sometimes it is difficult to know exactly how or what to do to help in a way that is appreciated and valued.Your Next Steps: Your best next investment is gaining extra training and insight on being a female leader. As you learn more about the unique dynamics of gender bias and some of the developmental milestones you may have missed in your leadership journey, you will begin to grow in understanding your strengths, what is your best contribution on a team, and internal confidence. It will be important to engage with coaches and mentors who will help you see how God uses women in leadership, and how you can apply their experience to your own spiritual leadership journey. Getting unstuck rarely happens on its own. Like Elmer’s glue that doesn’t separate easily, breaking free from what’s holding you back requires intentional effort—and often, the guidance of someone who can help. As you invest in understanding God’s love and purpose for your life, and surround yourself with the right support, you’ll begin to experience greater peace, clarity in developing your unique skills, and growing confidence as you step into higher levels of leadership and influence.I also highly recommend my book, Find Your Leadership Voice in 90 Days. Find Your Leadership Voice gives female leaders practical, step-by-step guidance on how to step into their leadership roles with confidence. No more waffling, no more wondering, no more questioning yourself.
