Episode 16 - Lizzie Edwards - Look Like the Leader You Are

In this episode (recorded Autumn 2019) I speak to Lizzie Edwards, Personal Stylist, Author, Speaker and Image Consultant. Lizzie was nominated by Antoinette Dale Henderson (Ep 9) who was inspired by how Lizzie helps female leaders increase their impact.

It was fascinating to hear Lizzie speak about style, not from a focus of fashion, but instead as a tool of visual branding and confidence. We also spoke about personal growth, investing in yourself and not worrying what other people think. One of the key pieces of advice Lizzie gave that resonated with me about 'Progress, not perfection' and 'Done is better than perfect'.

The world has changed a lot since we spoke and Lizzie's business has gone from strength to strength and she recently launched her style membership - Elevate. Follow her on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lizzieedwardsuk to find out more.

One of the quotes Lizzie touches on in the episode (don't play small!):
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world.... And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
― Marianne Williamson
