Don't wait for the seat... Be the one that builds!

Are you still waiting for a “yes” from the “gatekeepers” or “decision makers”?

Still hoping someone notices you?

Still shrinking in rooms you were never meant to fit in?

But you want to know something?

The most powerful leaders don’t wait for permission (this is so FREE-ing!)

They CREATE spaces where they can be fully seen.

This is your invitation to build your own table — one that reflects your voice, your values, and your VIBE.

(Yes, even if your culture taught you to be humble. Even if you’re scared!)

5 UNEXPECTED POWER MOVES TO BUILD YOUR OWN TABLE:

1. Pitch a Panel. Host the Room.

Don’t wait to be invited to speak. Create a local or virtual panel for leaders like YOU.

Pick a topic you’re passionate about. Find 2-3 other fellow unicorns.

Boom — you just built a table and made yourself the host.

Confidence isn’t built in silence — it’s built in spotlight.

2. Create a "Seat" Series on Social

Start a weekly post that connects with you… that inspire others, or promote change! Each week, share one belief, title, or situation you’ve outgrown and how you’re rewriting it.  Watch how many people start showing up for YOUR table.

Be the change you want to see my friend !

3. Redesign Your Identity Statement

Stop introducing yourself like a job title.

Design a new identity statement rooted in your superpower + who you serve + why it matters.

“I help high-drive leaders remember who they are so they can stop waiting and start creating.”

Use it in interviews, networking, bios, LinkedIn — even in your Instagram bio.

4. Upgrade Your Inner Circle — Now !!!!!.

Do a tribe audit:

Who actually sees your magic?

Who still thinks you're "too much"?

Who's building? Who’s just watching?

If you don’t feel safe being your FULL self around them — they’re not your people.

No table gets built alone. CHOOSE better chairs.

5. Secure a Strategic Ally — Not Just a Mentor

Don’t just look for someone to advise you. Look for someone who can open doors. We’re talking about a Sponsor — someone with power, access, and alignment who can speak your name in rooms you’re not in yet.

This one is so powerful that I want to share your actual ACTION STEPS:

a) Make a list of 3 people whose leadership and visibility you admire.

b) Reach out with clarity: Share your mission, goals, and the action you're already taking. (BE AUTHENTIC)

c) Ask for intentional advice on visibility and impact.

d) Be a value-add. Support their work. Build real connection.

Don’t wait to be picked. Be intentional about who sees you.

🦄 Final Reminder:

You don’t need permission to be at their seat.

You already have the soul, the voice, and the vision.

Build your own … create the life you want — and make it unforgettable.
