193 | Getting the promotion AND knowing that you can totally handle it

Today’s episode is super foundational for those of you who want to rise up and learn to feel comfortable taking up more space in your career.  The truth is that getting promoted and advancing upwards is about so much more than just getting the title – it’s about becoming the version of you who can step into that expanded role, and who knows that she can handle whatever gets thrown her way.  In today’s episode, I’m walking you through why it’s so important to become the woman who can handle MORE before you actually go out and pursue that upwards path.  My hope is that this episode will help you realize that no matter how scary growth might seem, with the right mindset, you are capable of handling absolutely anything.

192 | Impostor syndrome and the importance of owning your strengths

Do you sometimes get fixated on the areas of your job that you’re “bad” at?  If so, this episode is for you.  I see so many women underestimating their talents because the areas that they struggle with are taking up so much damn space in their minds.  When you fixate on your struggle areas, you leave almost no mental room to focus on what’s most important: your strengths and superpowers.  Tune into this week’s episode to deep dive into the mindset required to perform at your best even if you’re an imperfect human with some (*gasp*) flaws.  Because spoiler: you don’t need to be flawless to do your job exceedingly well.

 

I hope you enjoy this episode!

191 | How to kick off your meetings with ease

I don’t know about you, but I used to struggle SO much when kicking off meetings.  For some reason, saying those first few sentences out loud to the group would cause me to feel so anxious and awkward.  For years, I experienced so much dread around that experience. 

 

Things got much better for me when I found a way to kick off meetings that felt both powerful and authentic.  In this week’s episode, I’m walking you through a simple formula that was a gamechanger for me when kicking off meetings.  My hope is that you can use this tool to help ease the stress you might feel at the top of a meeting, and to find that powerful voice that’s somewhere inside you!

190 | Tackling the fear of advancing upwards: why promotions can feel scary and what to do about it

One of the biggest things that stops women from pursuing leadership and executive positions is fear of the unknown.  When you’re stepping into a newer, bigger role, there are SO many unknowns – and if you struggle with impostor syndrome in your current role, advancing upwards can sometimes feel undesirable and overwhelming.

 

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing a perspective that I hope will normalize the fear AND encourage you to dream big and reach for more if professional growth and upwards promotions is something you desire.  I hope to give you permission to OWN your desire for growth, and go after it, EVEN IF it feels like a stretch.  Because the truth is – just because it’s a stretch – doesn’t mean it’s too much of a stretch for you.

187 | Thought leadership and the importance of making your mark in the meeting room (mastering meetings, part 5)

If you want to advance professionally, there are few things more important than thought leadership.  In fact – I’d argue that thought leadership is MORE important than having strong communication skills.  Tune into today’s episode to learn exactly what thought leadership, why it matters SO much for your career, and how to make sure fear and impostor syndrome don’t prevent you from contributing your unique genius in that meeting room. 

 

I hope this episode FIRES you up and encourages you to be just a teensy bit more courageous in that next meeting you’re in!  Your willingness to be brave will pave the way for your career as a leader.
