Welcome to the show! In this solo episode, I’m walking through a simple 3-step map that you can use to pursue your next career move. But even more importantly, I’m covering the mindset blocks that might get in the way. Because the truth is, it’s not really about knowing what to do. I believe you likely already know more than you think. I believe it’s about having the confidence to take those forward steps. And this episode is all about that – I’m chatting about the three steps you’ll want to take, and how to keep your confidence high as you begin to take them.
I hope you enjoy this episode! Come say hello on Instagram (@theartofspeakingup), I love to hear from you and receive your questions.

If you have ever worried that you’ll never be outgoing or bold enough to advance to higher levels of leadership in your career, today’s episode will prove you wrong. Today’s guest, Sarah Ghattas, has reached VP level at a major organization. She boldly leads teams and pushes forward her company’s vision, but her leadership & boldness was something she grew into over time. As a kid and during her early career years, she was incredibly quiet and shy, and throughout her career she did the inner work necessary to help her show up with greater courage in her career. Today she leads with power, empathy, and confidence and serves as an incredible role model to us all!
If you are trying to figure out how to show up with greater presence, but you struggle to do so authentically or you find it scary to speak up, then Sarah’s advice and story is sure to touch you and leave you feeling like anything is possible for you (which is true!)
Check out Sarah on Instagram at @sarahjghattas, and check out her blog at https://sarahghattas.com/

This week, I’m talking with trauma surgeon Qaali Hussein all about her medical career, and the challenges she’s faced at work and in life and she pursued her dream of being a mom and becoming a surgeon at the same time.
Qaali broke major barriers in her industry - being pregnant while training to become a surgeon is not widely accepted in the medical community, and her identity as a Muslim women subjected her to even greater scrutiny as she moved ahead and attempted to build a career while being true to who she is.
Through her journey, she built a core of unshakeable strength and confidence - and she shares this journey with us in today’s conversation.
Be sure to check out her show, and as always, please reach out to me on instagram (@theartofspeakingup) and let me know what you think!
Have an amazing week (:
