If you struggle with imposter syndrome… 

Then building belief in your economic value, and the fact that you “belong” because of it, is important work to do.

But it’s also important to acknowledge WHY imposter syndrome thoughts come up in the first place. 

And I guarantee it’s not because you’re ‘...

Are you feeling stuck or exhausted thinking about your career?    

If you are, it might be because you’re coming to the stage where the strategies and mindsets that you got you to where you are today, won’t get you to the next level. 

That applies in many ways to the actual work you’re doing. What...

Happy new year!

I hope you had an awesome festive season. 

I know this is the time of year for resolution-setting, so I wanted to take a moment to check-in with all my perfectionists out there. You know who you are. 

This is probably how past new year’s resolutions have gone…

• January 1st: set ...

What’s your tolerance for risk as a leader?

Let me ask it another way…

• Do you tend to micro-manage other people?
• Do you find it difficult to accept or adapt to other people’s styles? 
• Do you avoid delegating because ‘they won’t do it properly’? 

I get it. I spent years doing those things. 

I help women become more confident leaders. 

By taking high-value actions, that align with their values. 

Giving clear feedback is a great example. 

It’s a big topic - but a good place to start is Brené Brown’s philosophy:

“Clear is Kind. Unclear in Unkind.”

So, how clear are you with your team...

I always find it funny when people say, “let’s just take the emotion out of it”.  

I know what they mean. They mean, let’s think rationally. 

Fine. Great. Let’s do that. 

But…

Just so you know… emotion is still there. 

It’s driving your desire (an emotion) to think rationally about something in...

Ever notice that you do a lot more prep than other people? 

Before a meeting, you spend a lot of time: 

• reminding yourself of ALL relevant background info
• studying any related know-how and market data
• anticipating ALL possible questions…

When other people just seem to wing-it. If they don’t...

How many times have you not gone after something you want, because you fear future failure, embarrassment, disappointment or rejection? 

I’m pretty sure we’ve all been there. 

I see it come up in career advancement a LOT … we don’t: 

• take on profile-raising projects
• talk about our ambitions to...

“So…what exactly do you do?”

Ever been asked this question at a networking event and experienced total brain-freeze?

Or muttered something incomprehensible? 

EEEEEEEEEK. I’ve been there. 

And it’s a shame. Because if you can’t communicate what you do, how will people know about the value you hav...

Something I hear from women all the time is…

“I don’t want to be like that guy”. 

That guy who’s arrogant or pushy or LOVES to talk about himself. 

If you have ever thought this. Please believe me when I tell you…

YOU WILL NEVER BE THAT GUY. 

Never. 

Even if you: 

• Offer your opinion more co...
