Episode 384 On Air with Ella

Be a Likeable Badass: Power, Status, and the Art of Self-Promotion - Alison Fragale is On Air with Ella

Resources follow respect

A "likable badass" is someone who is seen as both warm and capable. Alison Fragale explains that to be respected and valued, people need to be recognized for their warmth (likability) and their ability to get things done (badassery).


This duality is particularly essential for women, who often face challenges in being perceived as competent in various environments, especially in the workplace.


Alison's research shows that improving how others perceive us can significantly impact our access to power and resources. When people are seen as competent and capable, they are more likely to be entrusted with resources.


Alison provides SO MANY strategies in this episode for enhancing how we are perceived by others, which can lead to increased respect (status) and, consequently, greater access to resources (power).


"I can use my power to create the world that I want to see."
