Lead Like a Woman: Transforming the Story of Our Lives

By Kim Brassor

Why Redefining Leadership Isn’t Optional—It’s Urgent

We are living in a time of deep transition—socially, politically, and spiritually. Institutions are unraveling, systems are cracking, and the myth of “business as usual” is finally being challenged. At the heart of that shift is a question many of us have carried quietly for years:

What if the leadership models we’ve inherited aren’t just outdated—but fundamentally misaligned with who we are and how we’re meant to lead?

At the upcoming Be More Conference this September, I’m honored to be joining the panel RISE & REDEFINE: Power, Presence & Permission—a conversation that brings together bold women leaders who are doing more than leading teams or initiatives. We are rewriting the blueprint.

And here's why this conversation matters:

1. Because leadership was never meant to be one-size-fits-all

For too long, leadership has been modeled on a framework that values domination over collaboration, output over alignment, noise over nuance. It told us to be louder, tougher, faster. But it rarely asked us to be truer.

To lead like a woman is to lead with clarity, conviction, and care. Not because it’s softer—but because it’s smarter. It's sustainable. It’s what the moment is asking of us.

2. Because authenticity isn’t a buzzword—it’s a revolution

We’re done pretending that “professionalism” means stripping ourselves of identity, emotion, or intuition. When we show up as our full selves—grounded, aware, unapologetic—we don’t just lead better. We give others permission to do the same.

We stop performing and start embodying.
We stop managing optics and start modeling truth.

3. Because real impact doesn’t require permission

So many brilliant women are still waiting—waiting for the title, the promotion, the approval, the green light. But power doesn't come from permission. It comes from alignment.

This panel is about that internal permission slip:
To own your story.
To lead from the truth of who you are.
To rise—not in spite of your voice, but because of it.

4. Because the world needs new stories of leadership

Not stories of burnout disguised as success.
Not stories of shrinking to belong.
Not stories of surviving in systems that were never built for us.

We need new stories.
Stories where power looks like collaboration.
Where presence looks like boundaries.
Where leadership looks like legacy—not ego.

Because the future of leadership doesn’t ask for permission—
it speaks up. 

🔥 So why does this panel matter?

Because every time a woman stands in her truth, the ground shifts.
Because when we speak, lead, and live from alignment—we don’t just lead differently.
We transform the story of our lives.

And that, more than anything, is what this moment needs.
Not just more women in leadership—but more truth in leadership.
