Summary
"Resources follow respect."
Alison Fragale explains that to be respected and valued, people need to be recognized for their warmth (likeability) and their ability to get things done (bad-assery). A "likeable badass" is someone who is seen as both warm and capable.
This duality is essential for women, who often face challenges in being perceived as competent, especially in the workplace. Alison is giving us LOADS of tips we can use NOW from her book which is officially my favorite read of 2024.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome. You're on air with Ella where we share simple strategies and tips for living a little better every day. |
| 0:06.5 | If you're interested in mindset and wellness or healthy habits and relationships or hormone health, aging well and eating well, |
| 0:14.1 | honestly, if you're into just living better and with more energy, then you're in the right place. |
| 0:19.2 | We're not here for perfect. We're here for a little better |
| 0:21.9 | every day. Let's go. Hey, you're on air with Ella, and today I am joined by Alison Fergal. |
| 0:29.8 | Allison, my new favorite author, would you kindly tell us who you are and what you do? |
| 0:35.6 | I will. I'm Allison Fergal. I'm an organizational psychologist. I'm a professor. |
| 0:40.1 | I am a women's advocate and I am the author of likable badass. Allison, I hunted you down and |
| 0:47.5 | asked you to come on the air with me because I read your book and it's called likable badass. |
| 0:52.6 | Now, not everybody has read your book, not everybody, but I sure |
| 0:56.0 | hope they will. I read a lot of books for this show. A lot of books for this show. And it is a |
| 1:03.0 | privilege and an honor, but not all of them are keepers. Allison, I have not been this excited |
| 1:08.9 | about a book since I read and applied Atomic Habits. |
| 1:13.4 | And I have probably referenced that book roughly somewhere around a thousand times on this show. |
| 1:18.8 | Yours is my new go-to. |
| 1:21.5 | This is not just a book. |
| 1:22.5 | It's a manual. |
| 1:23.3 | I would love for you to tell us what is a likable badass. |
| 1:46.6 | For sure. Well, first I have to pause on that high praise because Atomic Habits has sold, I don't know, like 17 billion copies. And yeah, right? And it is considered a manual for many, many people. It's life-changing. Okay, so what's a likable badass? I wrote this because I care deeply about helping women live and work better. And that's something that I've come to as a passion over 20 years of being a professor. And I've been talking to women for |
| 1:51.8 | years, mainly from stages, from teaching, from speaking. And one of the core elements of my |
| 1:58.3 | research that comes up a lot in the work that I do with women is this |
| 2:02.7 | idea of status. It is being respected and valued. And that is something all human beings care about. |
