Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Fri, 24 Jan 2025
Heather Monahan was at the top of her career when she was blindsided and fired after 14 years as Chief Revenue Officer. Instead of letting it define her, she walked away with her head held high and rebuilt her life on her own terms. Heather turned her setback into a springboard for success, becoming a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and confidence expert. In this episode, Heather shares her three-step BAK process for overcoming villains, strategies for navigating toxic environments, and the power of living “lanelessly.” In this episode, Hala and Heather will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (03:09) Heather's Impact on Hala's Career (04:13) Personal and Professional Challenges (09:59) Living Lanelessly (13:25) Facing Villains and Building Confidence (21:00) The BAK Process for Overcoming Challenges (23:58) The Sandwich Technique for Constructive Feedback (26:31) Overcoming Negative Self-Talk (34:16) Manifestation and Visualization (37:31) The 30-Day Grid for Goal Tracking (39:45) The Power of Music in Achieving Goals (41:30) Grief to Gross Ratio (45:13) The Art of Pitching Yourself (48:41) The Importance of Knowledge and Skills Heather Monahan is a 2x bestselling author, Top 50 Keynote Speaker in the World (2022), entrepreneur, founder of Boss In Heels, and host of the Creating Confidence podcast. Before becoming a top author and speaker, Heather successfully climbed the corporate ladder for nearly 20 years, becoming one of the few women to break the glass ceiling and claim a spot in the C-suite. In 2017, she was named one of the Most Influential Women in Radio. In 2018, Thrive Global named her a Limit Breaking Female Founder, and in 2021, Girls Club honored her as the Thought Leader of the Year. Forbes recognized Heather’s first book, Confidence Creator, as one of the five must-have books for women in business in 2021. Her latest book, Overcome Your Villains, was released in November 2021.

I'm single and there's nothing tying me down to Jersey anymore. And so I'm looking to set up residence in Texas or Florida. And I've got to stay there at least six months and one day so that I can save on taxes and switch up my dating pool.
Now it's a toss up between Miami and Austin. I'm super familiar with Miami, but I haven't really explored Austin much. And with so many entrepreneurs raving about it, I've at least got to test it out. So I rented a beautiful home on Airbnb with my business partner this winter so that we could try out Austin and see if it's the right fit for us.
Now, I don't really know what I'm going to do in terms of the city I'm living in next year for most of the year, but I do know what I'm going to do with my pad when I'm not in it. And that's hosting on Airbnb, of course. The thing is, when it comes to hosting my place on Airbnb, I don't want to worry about the hosting part.
I'm so busy with my company and my podcast, and now dating is also a full-time job. But now with Airbnb's new co-host network, I won't have to worry about it. That's right, hosting on Airbnb just got a whole lot easier. With Airbnb's co-host network, you can hire a high quality local co-host to take care of your home and guests.
Vetted on Airbnb, co-hosts have knowledge in the hosting space and can help get your investment properties set up for you. Imagine having somebody who can handle reservations, guest communication, and onsite support so that you can handle other things. Now, while I'm busy finding myself a cowboy, you can go find yourself a co-host at airbnb.com slash host. Yap gang, welcome back to the show.
And if you haven't figured it out already, I'm a big believer in confidence. Having high self-confidence and self-esteem is truly a superpower in my book. Confidence is how I got here. And it's the key ingredient in so many stories of success. But confidence doesn't always come so easily.
