Lesley Logan
Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I’m Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I’ve trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it’s the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It’s a practice, not a perfect. Let’s get started.

Hey, Be It babe. Welcome to your FYF episode, your Fuck Yeah Friday episode, where we share wins. We share wins of yours, wins of mine, a mantra, we get inspired, we’re to take it ourselves into the weekend, when that’s the best time to be inspired, so that you can enter your work week and plan it all out and make your magic happen. So this inspired me. This is very interesting. I don’t think it inspired me, but like, intrigued me. Around 76% of high-performing women receive negative feedback, compared to only 2% of high-achieving men. So what this said is around 76% of high-performing women reportedly received negative feedback from their managers, compared to just 2% of high-performing men. That come from data collected from 23,000 employees across 250 organizations, by the way. So why is this happening? So they think unconscious bias leads managers, male or female, to typically evaluate women during performance reviews on their personality rather than the work they contribute. Are they easy to work with? Do they get along with everyone? Are they likable and collaborative? These areas of feedback don’t necessarily touch on a woman’s performance, which hurts both the employee and the employer. The employee, remember, is the high-performer. She’s going to be looking for concrete ways to grow and progress in her career. If she see it receiving feedback on how nice she is, well, she might start looking for work elsewhere. Managers keep it constructed and hold on to top talent. I thought that that was like interesting. I made me wonder, how do I provide feedback to different genders in any of the things that I’m doing? Am I providing feedback specifically on the tasks that they’re doing so that they can become better, or am I talking about things that have nothing to do with the project? So I thought that that was just really fascinating to something we could all explore, like, those of you who have people on your team, how are you providing feedback? Are you keeping it even? Are you giving the same kind of feedback to people of another gender in your corporation? Like, how are you doing that? So, anyways, I hope that that kind of gets you thinking.

So let’s go to one of your wins. This is from DK. My heart is so incredibly full right now. I’m on day two of a seven-day challenge, and I am running for getting active with chronic pain called Meant to Move, after my book. Remember her book? It’s Dana Karen’s book. I have been busting my ass for the past four weeks or so leading up to this challenge with IG lives and new freebies and tons of promos, and I was so exhausted by the time it even started. I was disappointed at first to just get four sign-ins, because I’m making like, $2 an hour, but I have to say that things are going so well so far, I just got off two back-to-back coaching calls with people telling me how grateful they are for the safe space about the challenge created, and how happy to they feel to have a guidance and support to get going. The second client said to me, the movement part is just a bonus. What I needed was a safe container to put my grief and feelings about movement and where it was okay to be starting from scratch and you gave me that. I mean, that sentiment right there was exactly why I wrote the book, why I created my first pain program in 2022 and why I made this challenge. I have been trying to figure out the correct format for years without success, and I feel like I’m finally hitting on something that might actually work if I can figure out how to find my people. I just feel so fulfilled knowing that this is working for someone, and it made my whole month. Dana Karen, DK, we love you. We’re so proud of you. We’re so proud of the work that you’re doing. Thank you for sharing this with us. Thank you for being you, and thank you for helping people in pain get their move on.

All right, my win. Here it is real quick. You guys, I got to film for Pilates Anytime again, and they’re dear friends of mine, and they challenged me to come up with some really great stuff. And we looked at the stuff that people have liked to play as anytime and what I want to do, and it’s different than what I can do at OPC, and it’s really quite fun. And so I can’t wait for this content to come out, but I also just love that it challenged me. Challenged me to like, how do I succinctly say what I want to say in this tutorial that’s different than my YouTube stuff. How do I create this class so that it makes sense at home, so you can repeat it forever and ever. I don’t know their audience as well as I know my OPC audience, and that’s different. And so it just was a fun challenge, and I had a great time. And I love the team at Pilates Anytime, and I also want to celebrate that they are been around for 15 years, and they really paved the way for OPC and other platforms like mine to even exist, and they’ve been so supportive of me and my journey and so just a win for everyone all around.
