Getting Unstuck with Your Courage

Getting Unstuck with Your Courage

Are you stuck between a tough decision? Maybe you are wondering if this is the time for a change or you are worried you CAN make a change. Today’s episode is about a part of leadership we don’t talk enough about-- courage. When we talk about advancing at work it starts with YOU having the courage to fill the pipeline- what it takes to make it in management.

Research shows we OVERESTIMATE men’s performance and UNDERESTIMATE women’s performance.

As a result, men are hired and promoted based on potential, while women need to prove it again with a track record or “receipts”

But it takes courage to get to the point that you get to share your receipts. If you want to add to the pipeline of women or you already are the one or trying to be the two, this episode is for you!

Getting Unstuck with Your Speech

Have you ever been the ONLY in the room? Whatever makes you different--- if you are stuck figuring out how to stand up in the wake of the world's events, this episode will give you the framework to persuade your management to listen to your speech. One in five women is often the "only" in the room in their corporate workplace. It's even more common for people of color to be the -only- of their race or gender while moving up the ranks through management which means being the "only" person to stand up when difficult subjects, diversity, and hot political topics come up at work. Learn how to stand up for your beliefs and advocate for your community by communicating effectively with your company. Hear the six practical steps your company can take to support and promote diversity. Hear an example from standing up to explain how the management team could be more sensitive in the days following Philando Castille's death by thinking about how they leverage their relationships and act on behalf of employees with less access to tools and resources. In less than 30 minutes walk through the steps to advocate for yourself and your community at your next management meeting or uncomfortable check-in. By the end, you’ll know how to use your words wisely when you are responsible for managing others and leading a team.
