Leadership and Communication Superpowers During the Follicular Phase

Hello Empowered Leaders!

Welcome back to another edition of Empowered Flow! This week, we’re diving into the follicular phase and how you can harness this time to elevate your leadership and communication skills. Ready to tap into your inner superwoman? Let's get started!

The Follicular Phase: Your Time to Shine

The follicular phase kicks off right after your period and lasts until ovulation (days 6-14). This is when estrogen levels rise, boosting your energy, creativity, and mood. It's the perfect time to tackle new projects, engage in strategic planning, and improve your communication skills.

1. Leadership: Plan and Innovate

• Why Now: Increased estrogen enhances your brain's ability to plan and innovate.
• Example: Use this phase to brainstorm new ideas for your team or business. Set aside time for strategic planning sessions where you can map out your goals and action plans. Think of it as your brain’s “spring cleaning” – fresh ideas and clear directions!

2. Communication: Be Clear and Persuasive

• Why Now: Higher energy levels make you more articulate and confident.
• Example: Schedule important meetings, presentations, or negotiations during this phase. Your boosted confidence and clarity will help you communicate more effectively and persuasively. Channel your inner TED Talk speaker – captivating and inspiring!

3. Team Collaboration: Foster Engagement

• Why Now: Your positive mood and enthusiasm are contagious.
• Example: Plan team-building activities or collaborative projects. Your energy will help motivate your team and encourage a spirit of cooperation and creativity. Think of yourself as the glue that brings everyone together – sticky, but in a good way!

How to Apply This Knowledge

• Daily Planner: Use a menstrual cycle planner to schedule tasks that require high energy and creativity during the follicular phase. [ Sign up for my Cycle Syncing Planner Launch]
• Team Meetings: Inform your team about cycle syncing and encourage them to schedule important tasks according to their own cycles if possible.
• Self-Care: While pushing forward with leadership and communication tasks, don't forget self-care. Balance your high-energy activities with moments of mindfulness and relaxation.
