Let’s be real, sometimes “taking the high road” doesn’t get the results you need as a leader. You can keep your grace and still remind people you’re not to be played with. This episode is about mastering that art.

I’m breaking down ten professionally petty power moves that help you hold boundaries, stay poised, and get your most desired outcome without ever raising your voice. From the subtle “per my last message” energy to the fake naive task audit, this is leadership with a little side of sass.

As leaders in business, health, and wellness, people often mistake kindness for weakness. This episode is your permission slip to stand tall, maintain your power, and move with quiet confidence even when you need to get a little petty.

Why This Matters to You

Ever feel like people test your boundaries just because you’re calm?

When your emails go unanswered, invoices get lost, or team members get messy, it’s easy to feel drained or disrespected.

You don’t have to become someone you’re not, you just need the right tools to respond strategically. Professionally petty moves help you reset energy without losing composure. They keep your authority intact while protecting your peace.

These subtle tactics let you hold power in any room. Because leadership isn’t about perfection, it’s about precision, presence, and a little personality.

Actionable Advice

• Save your receipts. Keep emails, screenshots, and messages because preparation is power.
• Ask the “desired outcome” question. When communication gets messy, pause and ask, “What’s your most desired outcome here?”
• Use soft salutations to reinforce boundaries. A “Hey sweetie” or “Okay, friend” can reset the tone without confrontation.
• Sprinkle ellipses and emojis carefully. A “…” or half-smile can communicate volumes, but use them sparingly.
• Keep it light but intentional. Whether it’s checking in on a “missed invoice” or looping in the money person, every move should guide energy back toward accountability.
