This week’s podcast episode is my fieriest one yet.
Here’s why: corporate america is sometimes really bad at helping women develop a stronger executive presence, and to be honest - the old-school philosophies that many companies have when it comes to women and executive presence makes me mad.
So often, women are guided to hide their authentic selves and police the sounds of their voices in ways that are massively unhelpful and disempowering.
The good news?
There’s a much better and more empowering way to develop an authoritative voice that actually sounds and feels like YOU, and this week, I’m diving into just that. I hope you enjoy this one - I definitely did ;-)
If you want to develop a captivating yet authentic executive presence from the inside out, The Art of Speaking Up Academy is where you want to be. To join the waitlist and be first to learn when the next cohort enrolls, head here: https://jessguzikcoaching.com/academy/

The good news is, even if you struggle with assertiveness, with a little bit of patience and some inner mindset work, you can begin growing your assertiveness muscle AND your self-confidence at the very same time.

If you want to be on an accelerated path to leadership, then it’s super wise to be vocal and transparent about your desire for a promotion. I’m a super strong advocate of asking your boss & organization to promote, rather than waiting to be promoted - because asking has the potential to dramatically speed up your promotion timeline.
The challenge is - you might feel an enormous amount of discomfort when you imagine yourself asking for a promotion. And honestly - this is very common, and totally normal. And even better - asking for a promotion doesn’t have to feel so weird and icky. In today’s episode, I’m walking you through some guidance that can help you feel authentic and GOOD when advocating for a promotion. It isn’t too good to be true, and it IS something you can learn to do.
Ready to dive in? I hope you enjoy this one!
Below are the links I mentioned in the episode, as well as links to some episodes that offer you more guidance and resources on the topic of advocating for a promotion.
