In the latest episode of “From a Woman to a Leader,” I had the pleasure of speaking with Jaime Gennaro, an inspiring entrepreneur and coach who helps women in leadership and business embrace confidence and recognize their true worth. This episode is packed with valuable insights that can help you navigate your career with a renewed sense of self-belief and purpose.
Key Takeaways from the Episode
1. Confidence Comes from Within
One of the most powerful messages Jaime shared is that confidence isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room or never making mistakes. True confidence comes from knowing that, no matter what happens, you have your own back.
“Confidence is knowing that whatever happens, you’re going to support yourself through it.” — Jaime Gennaro
This means embracing your failures, learning from them, and continuing to show up despite setbacks. Confidence is less about perfection and more about resilience.
2. Understanding and Standing in Your Value
Jaime emphasized the importance of knowing your worth, especially in business settings. Many women struggle with valuing their time and expertise, often undercharging for their services or feeling guilty about setting higher prices.
“What I provide in one hour is worth what I used to get paid for 40 hours. It’s about the value, not the time.” — Jaime Gennaro
Recognizing that your experience, skills, and the unique value you bring to the table are worthy of fair compensation is crucial. This mindset shift can significantly impact how you negotiate and advocate for yourself in professional settings.
3. Negotiating with Confidence
Negotiation can be a daunting task, especially for women who may feel uncomfortable asserting their worth. Jaime provides practical tips for approaching negotiations with confidence and integrity, ensuring that you not only ask for what you deserve but also feel empowered to walk away if necessary.
“Know your worth and stand in it. You don’t need to overgive to prove your value.” — Jaime Gennaro
Understanding the true cost of your work and being clear about your value proposition are essential steps in any negotiation. Jaime’s advice helps you approach these situations with the confidence to stand firm in your value.
Inspiring Quotes from the Episode
Throughout our conversation, Jaime shared several powerful quotes that encapsulate the essence of her message. Here are a few that stood out:
•“Confidence isn’t about never failing; it’s about showing up again after you do.”
•“Your value is not tied to the time you spend but to the transformation you provide.”
•“Stop deciding for others that they won’t pay your rates—let them decide for themselves.”
These quotes serve as reminders that confidence and self-worth are internal processes that manifest in how we present ourselves and interact with others, especially in business.
