A proposito di questo titolo

 Leadership Beyond the Title is hosted by TaSheena Braxton, Executive Leadership & Team Coach, mother of four, and a woman who learned how to lead long before she ever held a formal title. This podcast is for leaders who know they're capable of more — with or without the job title to prove it. Every week, we disrupt the outdated belief that leadership is tied to hierarchy, proximity to power, or navigating corporate politics. Leadership isn't given. Leadership is shown — through impact, visibility, strategic relationships, and the courage to show up as who you are. I created this podcast because I know what it feels like to be overlooked, underestimated, or told (implicitly or explicitly) that you aren't a leader until someone grants you permission. And I also know what it looks like to lead anyway — to influence without authority, to build trust across teams, to navigate power dynamics, and to grow a reputation that gets you opportunities you were never "supposed" to have. Inside this podcast, you'll learn how to: • Lead in any room — regardless of your title • Grow visibility without burning out • Build relationships that accelerate your career • Navigate identity, systems, and workplace politics with clarity • Position yourself as a leader people want to follow Our conversations will help you move from untapped, unseen, and under-recognized to someone who leads movements, shapes culture, and makes an undeniable impact — title or not. If you're ready to lead from who you are — not what your title says — you're in the right place.TaSheena Braxton| Mom, Executive Leadership & Team Coach Economia Ricerca del lavoro Successo personale Sviluppo personale

  • Stop Calling My Personality a "Superpower" | Ep #56

    Stop Calling My Personality a "Superpower" | Ep #56
    Jan 21 2026
    🎙️ Welcome back to Leadership Beyond the Title Podcast! 📜 Summary If you've ever been told "introversion is your superpower" — but you still feel drained, overlooked, or like leadership requires more adaptation than it should — this episode is for you. In this reflective solo episode, I'm unpacking why praise alone doesn't create inclusion — and how calling introversion a "superpower" can quietly place the burden back on introverted leaders to survive systems that were never designed for them. This isn't a rejection of introversion. It's an invitation to look deeper. We'll explore the difference between symbolic validation and structural change, why so many workplaces confuse visibility with impact, and how leadership effectiveness has far more to do with design, judgment, and clarity than personality traits. Because when introversion is truly valued, coping strategies shouldn't be required just to function. You'll hear: ✨ why "introversion as a superpower" can become pressure instead of empowerment ✨ how praise without system change increases emotional and cognitive load ✨ the difference between validation and real inclusion ✨ why this tension isn't personal — it's a design bias ✨ how meetings became performance spaces instead of thinking spaces ✨ what it actually looks like to design environments for a range of leadership styles ✨ why design is leadership — not personality management This episode is a grounding reframe — especially if you're tired of being told to "speak up more," "move faster," or "just adapt." Because your leadership isn't the problem. The environment is outdated. And leadership maturity shows up in what we're willing to redesign. 📖 Chapters 00:00 When "Introversion Is a Superpower" Still Feels Exhausting Why praise doesn't always translate into support. 03:30 Why This Language Started — and Where It Breaks Down How affirmation emerged as resistance — and why it's not enough. 07:30 Validation vs. Change When celebration replaces structural courage. 10:00 When the Burden Shifts Back to the Individual How "use your superpower" becomes a coping mandate. 13:30 Symbolic Praise vs. Tangible Support Why being valued in words but not in design creates burnout. 16:30 It's Not a Personality Mismatch — It's a Design Bias How workplaces quietly reward speed, volume, and dominance. 20:00 How Meetings Became Performance Spaces Why visibility gets confused with leadership. 23:30 Reframing Leadership Effectiveness Judgment, clarity, and decision quality — not airtime. 26:30 What It Means to Design for Range Practical examples of environments that support different styles. 30:00 Design Is Leadership Why inclusion requires structural courage. 32:30 Who This Conversation Is Really For Introverted leaders — and the executives who shape the system. 35:00 Final Reflection What would change if leadership stopped confusing visibility with value? If this episode resonated, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share it with a leader who's been praised — but not truly supported. Because you don't need to be louder to lead. And leadership doesn't live in personality traits — it lives in how work is designed. Because you don't need a title to lead. 🔗 Work With Me: 1:1 Leadership & Career CoachingIf you're a woman of color who wants to grow your career without shape-shifting, overperforming, or silencing yourself — my 1:1 leadership coaching is designed for you.

  • Why You Don't Need to Fake It Till You Make It — Borrow Belief Instead | Ep #55

    Why You Don't Need to Fake It Till You Make It — Borrow Belief Instead | Ep #55
    Jan 7 2026
    🎙️ Welcome back to Leadership Beyond the Title Podcast! 📜 Summary If you've ever been told you're powerful, brilliant, poised, or a natural leader — but you don't always feel that way on the inside — this episode is for you. In this grounding solo episode, I'm sharing why so many Women of Color experience a gap between how others see us and what we've been conditioned to believe about ourselves — and why you do NOT need to "fake it till you make it" to close that gap. We'll explore the idea of Borrowed Belief — allowing the people who see you clearly (mentors, sponsors, leaders, friends, coaches) to hold the truth about your capability while your nervous system gently catches up. Because doubt isn't a flaw — it's a protection response that forms when you've spent years navigating comparison, bias, invisibility, and scrutiny in corporate systems that weren't built with you in mind. You'll hear: ✨ the real reason praise can feel uncomfortable in your body ✨ why "imposter syndrome" is often really imposter treatment ✨ the difference between Fake It Till You Make It vs Borrowed Belief ✨ how your nervous system protects you — even from opportunity ✨ healthy ways to receive affirmation & advocacy without shrinking ✨ who you should NOT borrow belief from — and how to choose safe people ✨ how to build self-trust gently — instead of forcing confidence This episode is a soft place to land — especially if you're tired of being told to "be more confident" or "just believe in yourself." Because your leadership isn't wishful thinking. Other people already see it. And while your nervous system learns that it's safe to be seen — you're allowed to borrow belief. 📖 Chapters 00:00 If People See Your Power Before You DoWhy capable women still experience self-doubt — and why nothing is "wrong" with you. 04:00 Why I Don't Believe in "Imposter Syndrome"Understanding imposter treatment — and how systems shape self-doubt. 09:00 Your Brain Is Wired for Safety — Not SpotlightHow your nervous system responds to visibility, risk, and opportunity. 12:30 What Borrowed Belief Really MeansLetting trusted people reflect truth back to you — without pretending. 14:30 My Story: Becoming a CoachHow someone else's belief opened a door I wouldn't have walked through alone. 19:30 Fake It Till You Make It vs Borrowed BeliefThe emotional, psychological, and spiritual difference between the two. 23:00 Reflection Questions to Gently ExploreWho already sees your capability? And what truth are they reflecting? 26:00 How to Practice Borrowed Belief — SafelySimple relational practices that build grounded confidence over time. 27:30 Who Not to Borrow Belief FromProtecting yourself from ego-driven validation or manipulation. 29:00 You Are Not BrokenConfidence grows in healthy community — not isolation. 31:00 Final Reflections — Let Belief Hold YouYou don't have to rush. Your nervous system gets to catch up. If this episode supported you, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share it with another Woman of Color who deserves support on her leadership journey — without performance, pressure, or pretending. Because you don't need a title to lead. And you don't need to fake confidence to deserve opportunity. Because you don't need a title to lead. And you don't need to fake confidence to deserve opportunity. 🔗 Work With Me: 1:1 Leadership & Career CoachingIf you're a woman of color who wants to grow your career without shape-shifting, overperforming, or silencing yourself — my 1:1 leadership coaching is designed for you.

  • How to Let Go of the Past Year and Start Fresh in 2026 | Ep #54

    How to Let Go of the Past Year and Start Fresh in 2026 | Ep #54
    Dec 31 2025
    🎙️ Welcome back to Leadership Beyond the Title Podcast! 📜 Summary If you've been saying "new year, new me"…but still feel like you're carrying the emotional, financial, and spiritual leftovers of 2025 into the new year, this episode is your invitation to finally put those bags down. In this reflective solo episode, I share how I've been navigating one of the hardest years of my life — grief, transition, layoffs, DEI rollbacks, political tension, burnout, and the quiet pressure to hold it all together. And I walk you through the four powerful practices I'm using to create a true completion ceremony for the year — so you aren't dragging the old season into the new one. We'll talk about why "moving on" doesn't work without reflection…how grief keeps us holding onto identities, jobs, people, and things that no longer fit…and how God invites us to release what we've outgrown so He can make room for what's next. You'll learn: ✨ the 3 S's reflection framework — Successes, Stuck Points, and Shifts ✨ how to interrogate negative thoughts with compassion instead of shame ✨ why grieving is a spiritual and emotional practice — not a setback ✨ how identity markers shape the way you see yourself — and your future ✨ and the simple 5 Wants & Desires exercise to align you with your "why" This episode is for anyone — especially Women of Color — who have been strong for too long, who are still holding emotional receipts from the past few years, and who are ready to close the chapter with intention, faith, and self-compassion. Because you deserve to walk into 2026 lighter, clearer, grounded, and complete 📖 Chapters 00:00 If You're Ready to Close the Books on 2025 Why so many of us carry emotional "baggage" into the new year. 06:30 When the World Feels Heavy DEI rollbacks, layoffs, political noise — and how it impacts our nervous systems. 10:30 Completion vs. Avoidance What it truly means to say, "I am complete." 14:30 Reflection: The 3 S's Framework Successes, where you were stuck, and the shifts you're being called into. 22:00 Interrogating Negative Thoughts with Compassion How to question shame-based beliefs instead of living inside them. 28:00 Grieving, Releasing & Letting Go of Old Identities Clothes, papers, people, jobs — and who we used to be. 36:30 Five Wants & Desires — and Knowing Your Why Why purpose matters more than money or achievement. 42:00 Identity Markers & Becoming Who You're Called to Be How you see yourself physically, spiritually, relationally, financially & beyond. 45:30 Thank You as a Faith Practice Journaling gratitude for what hasn't happened yet — and trusting God anyway. 50:00 Final Reflections — Walking Into 2026 Lighter Completion, not perfection. Release, not pressure. Faith, not fear. ⭐ If this episode supports you, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs a gentle, faith-rooted reset heading into the new year. 🔗 Work With Me: 1:1 Leadership & Career Coaching If you're a woman of color who wants to grow your career without shape-shifting, overperforming, or silencing yourself — my 1:1 leadership coaching is designed for you.
