Want to be seen as an authority in your field? It won't happen with a "do it all, all or nothing" beliefs and behaviors.Yes, you read that right.Many high-performing experts and leaders believe working harder and taking on more tasks is the key to recognition and promotion. This often leads to burnout rather than respect or advancement.If you want to 'own the room," you must "own yourself"—first taking stock of what's important, setting boundaries, focusing on high-impact activities, and creating space to think and lead effectively so your best and brightest self leads the way.Each episode of the Own Your Lane® Personal Branding Podcast highlights one of the four steps of the Own Your L.A.N.E. personal branding roadmap to help you gain clarity, confidence, and a clear path to growing your influence and impact.L: Launch Your Vision – Lead with clear intention and purposeA: Assert Your Difference – Define what uniquely sets you apartN: Navigate Your Presence – Shape your personal brand foundationE: Elevate Your Authority – Grow impact and influence with publicityThis week, we're focusing on "L- Launch Your Vision" with host Michelle B Griffin and expert guest Sharon Ehrlich, the CEO and Founder of Living While Leading, a premier executive coaching practice for deep talk, real talk chat for those who want their professional journeys to be on their terms and timelines.Tune in for the actionable framework and practical ways to own the room and "own your lane" of fulfillment, opportunity, and influence.LINKSSharon Ehrlich on LinkedInSharon Ehrlich's WebsiteBECOME THE RECOGNIZED AUTHORITY WITH  MICHELLE B.
