In the dynamic world of entrepreneurship, where success stories often celebrate courage under pressure, it's crucial to challenge a cultural belief deeply ingrained in our minds.
We've been conditioned to think that people are at their most courageous when the stakes are high, and the pressure is on. While it's true that many of us do find our courage in moments of fear or uncertainty, it's equally vital to recognize that there's another path—one that doesn't require the constant push of pressure and worry.
Let's unpack this idea further: yes, breakthroughs can and do happen under pressure. But should that become the driving force behind our actions and the foundation of our growth strategies? The answer, especially for women in business, is a resounding no.
What we truly need, particularly as women, is a safe and supportive environment—one where we feel unconditionally accepted. It's within this nurturing space that the genesis of courage and the drive to excel is found.
Culturally, there's a misconception that performance under pressure is the ultimate measure of success. But for women, the absolute opposite holds true. Yes, we can perform remarkably well under pressure, but our real potential shines when we feel supported. It's the combination of high challenge and high support that fosters our growth and empowers us to become exceptional leaders who achieve remarkable results.
To be fair, I believe this is not specific to gender- but that humans perform better when we feel supported!
At One of many, we understand the importance of creating this environment for the leaders you are. It's a collaborative space where you can thrive, explore your potential, and lead with authenticity. This ethos extends to Catalyst, my business mastermind programme for female entrepreneurs, where we've seen firsthand the transformative power of love, grace, and unwavering support.
During a recent Catalyst Mastermind Retreat, the significance of this support system was vividly apparent. It was a reminder that, in the midst of life's challenges and the complexities of running a business, what truly fuels our growth is not pressure, but rather the unwavering support of a community that believes in our potential.

Even if you’re not running your own business, the message remains the same. Growth—whether personal or professional—doesn’t need constant pressure. Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is step back, take a breath, and ask yourself: Where am I truly supported?
