Emotional Regulation. Emotional alignment

While in Paris, I shared with other women leaders the importance of us advancing in leadership.
1. Stop waiting for permission and claim your leadership identity early. Don't allow situations or circumstances change your identity.
2. Seek and offer advocacy that opens doors. I realize that all of us desire certain income levels to be achieved but find two people to sponsor and watch your opportunities open unknown doors.
3. Publish, present, and being your chair to the table. Walk in as the expert in the room.
4. Network, shift systems, be the force of change.
5. Protect your well being, at boundaries, and reflect the leader that you desire.

Leadership isn't given, it's claimed.

i-Dias Women’s Leadership Conference

✨ Marcia Blane, LPC, CPCS, CCTS, CHt
CEO, Marcia Blane Brands & Peculiar One Counseling

🌿 Birthing Women Leadership: From Gestation to Greatness

What if women’s leadership wasn’t forced to mirror outdated models — but was understood as a powerful, embodied process of emergence?

At the upcoming i-Dias Conference in Paris, Marcia Blane presents a transformational framework that reimagines leadership development through the lived metaphor of birth:

🌱 Conception — Awareness of purpose & identity formation
🤍 First Trimester — Internal restructuring, imposter syndrome, values clarification
💬 Second Trimester — Skill visibility: communication, negotiation, emotional intelligence
🔥 Third Trimester — Heightened pressure, expanded responsibility, navigating bias
👑 Labor & Birth — Public leadership transition & accountability
🌸 Postpartum Leadership — Integration, sustainability & support

Why This Matters

Although women comprise over 70% of the healthcare and service workforce, they hold 25% or fewer leadership roles (WHO, 2022; BMJ Global Health Review, 2024).

Research shows women consistently demonstrate transformational leadership — linked to higher morale, innovation, and performance (Eagly et al., 2003; APA, 2023).
Yet structural inequity, implicit bias, and role conflict often delay or disrupt leadership trajectories.

This session challenges organizations to build “leadership nurseries” — ecosystems that nurture women through equitable policy, mentorship, sponsorship, and wellness-aligned structures.

Organizations with more women in leadership report:
✔ Higher retention
✔ Stronger decision-making
✔ Improved financial performance
(McKinsey & Company, 2023; KPMG Women’s Leadership Study, 2022)

Who are you beyond what you do?
We are often introduced by our roles.
Therapist. Parent. Leader. Caregiver. Partner. Achiever.
But roles are spokes — not the center.
In this exercise, place YOU in the middle.
Then fill in each spoke with the roles you occupy.
Now pause and reflect:
If one of those roles shifted…
If one ended…
If one changed…
Would you still exist?
Yes.
Because your identity is not your performance.
Your worth is not your productivity.
Your essence is not your résumé.
The roles extend from you —
they are not you.
Save this.
Print it.
Use it in therapy.
Use it in journaling.
Use it in quiet reflection.
And ask yourself gently:
Who am I when I am not performing?
