Confidence vs. Certainty in Leadership: A Distinction Worth Mastering ⭐ In leadership, confidence and certainty often look alike—they both project strength. But there’s an important difference. Confidence can adapt, like water that flows around obstacles, while certainty is more like a concrete dam: rigid and unyielding. ⭐ I recently observed this contrast in two leaders navigating high-stakes organizational challenges. One, leading with confidence, brought their team together, acknowledged the unknowns, and created an atmosphere of open dialogue, respect, and trust. This approach encouraged the team to brainstorm openly, leading to creative solutions that might not have surfaced otherwise. Meanwhile, the other leader, fixed in certainty, clung to what they believed was the only solution, dismissing diverse input and finding it difficult to adapt when issues arose. ⭐ I noticed through my years working with leaders, that the most effective leaders embody “collaborative confidence”: they walk into critical discussions with the attitude, "Here's what I believe based on what we know, but I value your insights to refine or challenge this." I’ve seen this approach transform strained team dynamics into genuine collaboration. It’s about having the courage to say, “Let’s figure this out together,” while still maintaining a clear path forward. 🌟 Real leadership confidence isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about creating an environment where the best answers can emerge. ☀ As you lead this week, ask yourself: Are you operating from a place of rigid certainty, or embracing collaborative confidence? Are you inviting diverse perspectives or inadvertently closing them off? This choice—confidence combined with openness—can be the difference between a team that thrives and one that falters under pressure. #leadership #Performance #teamexecution #coaching #Consulting #Executiveleadership 🔆 Ready to deepen your leadership skills?

I challenge you: Create next week's content using AI! Here's the deal: I once almost lost a speaking gig because I wasn't active on social media. I was too busy managing 12 clients' brands. My own presence? Nonexistent. 😅 Turns out, consistency matters. But guess what? We're no longer alone. AI can help us stay on top without burning out. So, let's talk about how to use AI effectively: 1. Content Creation: Start with AI tools to brainstorm or draft your posts. Tools like claude.ai, Jasper and ChatGPT can be your BFFs here. But remember, your voice should shine through. Edit and infuse your personality. 2. Analytics: Use AI-powered analytics to see what's working. Tools like Metricool  dive into your social media performance. They tell you what's resonating and when your audience is most active. 3. Strategy: Don’t just follow AI blindly. Use the insights to inform your strategy. Always filter them through your understanding of your brand and audience. Think of AI as your Swiss Army knife. It helps with the heavy lifting but doesn't replace your creativity or voice. So, here's your challenge: Use AI to create or brainstorm your content for next week. Include a story, a unique viewpoint, and make sure your expertise shines through. Edit everything yourself. Share your experience with the hashtag #AIMarketingWin and tag me, Kendra Corman. Did it save you time? Spark new ideas? I want to hear about it. Remember, AI might be the paintbrush, but you're still the artist. 🎨 #DigitalMarketing #AI #ContentCreation

If LOOK HOW FAR YOU’VE COME was a photo😭 I’m not waiting until Dec to do a recap of this year. Celebrating progress starts today🎉 SO FAR THIS YEAR: •I’ve hit the 2 MILLION VIEW MARK on the Bootstrap Biz Advice YouTube channel & grew my team to 6🔥 •I flew across the ocean for the first time for the inaugural Flodesk partner retreat in Portugal AND •I partnered with Uscreen to build MY OWN APP There are so many other highlights I could share but just know from the bottom of my heart I am so grateful. Gratitude season starts tomorrow. Open up your calendar if you’re not much of a journaling person and take a look back. I’m sure you’ve come further than you realize. I’d love to hear more about that. Flood my feed with positivity🥰 Trust me, I think I can speak for LinkedIn when I say we would love a break from election news and would love for you to share stories of triumph so we celebrate with you. Cheering for you my friend! Home stretch🎉

I had a blast hosting this Hype HQ networking session with Polina Ruvinsky last night! We went into 3 breakout sessions to: ➡ mix and mingle, and get to know each other ➡ discuss the goals we had set for this year ➡ devise a plan to focus on one things that we could feel good about achieving by the end of the year ➡ start dreaming up plans for next year ➡ share our tips on staying motivated and positive when things get tough What an amazingly accomplished group of women. I loved every minute 😊 My fave tips on staying motivated and moving towards our goals - I'm paraphrasing - were from: Meredith Vaish: Ask yourself, "Can I let myself have this right now?" Really think about this question. It surfaces a lot of hidden blockers and excuses, because you are often standing in your own way. Clara Toombs: Visualise yourself waking up tomorrow / in the future having achieved your goals already. Immerse yourself in that feeling. Now understand that is the path you are going to follow, and move confidently toward that outcome, doing what is necessary to make it happen without doubt or hesitation. As an ambassador for Hype HQ, I love our weekly community meetings for women supporting women to grow their visibility.

Since it's Halloween here in the U.S., I figured what better day to share something scary?!   Not 👻 or 👺 … but something else: putting myself out there.   For years, I "played" someone else - a Chinese man, a Dutch man, a Jewish man and the first woman to lead our particular global business at Microsoft. All brilliant and I was lucky enough to hold the pen for them, partner with them to tell their stories internally and externally. Before that, I coached and supported leaders in other ways. I was so comfortable in these behind-the-scenes roles … always behind the camera for shoots, off to the side for interviews, in the back taking notes for presentations, with the production crews for videos, *always* behind the scenes. Never up front.   So, you'll guess the nerves I'm talking about when I hit "launch" on my business a month ago. I was terrified. I lifted the curtain on myself, stepping out onto the (digital) stage for the first time in my career. It has - thankfully - become less scary and more fun - but know the feeling?   💀What are you doing right now that scares you?   __________________________   #MegManazirConsulting

I have two speaking opportunities in November, and I’m fired-up to share an essential lesson I learned the hard way: Visibility isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s CAREER INSURANCE. During my corporate career, I was focused on building my internal reputation, but when I made the decision to pivot, I had a realization: the outside world didn’t know me. It made my career shift much harder than it needed to be. Here’s the reality: Whether it’s layoffs or new opportunities, the job market is tough right now, and building your professional brand can be your best protection. Action steps to start NOW: 👉 Share your expertise publicly, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. 👉 Join communities like Hype HQ where women support and engage with your content, ensuring it doesn’t fall flat. 👉 Use accountability circles to stay consistent in building your professional brand. I’ll be diving into this topic during my upcoming talks and soon I will share materials that can help you too, LinkedIn friends. Need help or advice now? Comment below, I am happy to help! #CareerInsurance #WomenInTech #Visibility #HypeHQ
