Dr. Maha Mohamad returns to discuss authentic leadership strategies for women physicians, challenging the stereotype that women should remain silent and hold space. We explore how vulnerability enhances credibility and effectiveness as leaders when balanced with confidence, sharing personal examples from Parenting and patient care.

• Women physicians can lead by showing up to events and meetings, and ensuring their voices are heard
• Overcoming imposter syndrome requires silencing your inner chatterbox and occupying your rightful space
• Embracing vulnerability with patients and team members enhances credibility rather than diminishing it
• Using self-auditing to evaluate what went well and what can be improved regularly
• Comparing yourself only to your past self rather than others leads to authentic Growth
• Finding purpose through quiet reflection and working backward from your goals
• Accepting we're lifelong learners makes us better leaders and physicians
