Knowing Your Value and Non-Negotiables as a Founding Entrepreneur
791 Tissa Richards: No Permission Needed
Why Quiet Confidence and Swagger is Key to Your Success
Do you know your own value? Do you have a quiet confidence about your ability, the ‘swagger’ of knowing whatever life and business throws at you, you’ll find a path to success? Do you know your boundaries and your non-negotiables?
Female founders can often struggle to articulate their accomplishments, and if you add a people-pleasing perfectionist gene, it could be standing in the way of game-changing success in business.
Tissa Richards has learned from experience as a serial entrepreneur raising millions for her many technology startups why knowing your value – and developing presence, credibility, persuasiveness and what she calls “swagger” is critical to your next leap as an entrepreneur.
Author of the bestselling No Permission Needed, Tissa has made it her mission to create a legion of leaders with an unshakable sense of self. Tissa works closely with founders of hyperscale companies as well as Fortune 1000s to create strategies for fearless, authentic, and resilient success, develop high-performance cultures, and to diversify C-suites and corporate boardrooms. Tissa creates strategies for fearless, authentic, and resilient success, and who better to give you advice than someone who has truly ‘been there and built that’.
