Ep 168 - 3 Ways You’re Abdicating Your Own Authority & Selling Yourself Short

February 11, 2025 • Rebecca Allen • Episode 168

Are you ASSUMING or ABDICATING your own authority? It's the difference between backing yourself and believing in your value (and right) to be there... and abandoning all hope. I know which strategy I would rather adopt!

In my business I focus a lot of energy with clients on the concept of assuming your authority. When you crack this idea you make huge shifts in how you view yourself, how you start to show up and critically, how you are seen by the senior stakeholders around you.

Today I am sharing 3 significant ways in which you could be abdicating - or abandoning - your own authority.

These 3 actions - or inactions - will be having a significant negative impact on your career right now and your ability to realise your true potential. That’s how important this strategy is.

So buckle up! We are going to be covering a lot today.

Something important I said today:

"So until you start assuming your authority, backing yourself and showing up with a heightened sense of your value proposition to your organisation, you are likely doing something else entirely: you are likely abdicating, or abandoning, your authority and missing all the best opportunities in your career." (Rebecca Allen, Host, Her Ambitious Career podcast)
