May 11th, 2020  |  21 mins 10 secs

Make no mistake about it - we’re living in challenging times. Uncertain times. It’s an evolving New Normal.

Are you melting through this challenge? As in: “Oh no! I’m melting! I’m melting! I can’t take the heat! Please save me!!!”

Or are you molting through this challenge? Molting is what animals do when they shed their skins to make way for new growth.

Ready to molt and make room for the best version of yourself to emerge so that you can build your dream career and your dream life?

Episode 124: Complaining is easy. Getting resourceful to make change? That’s the hard work of leaders.

May 6th, 2020  |  19 mins 54 secs

I’ve noticed that a lot of people are addicted to complaining. Not just in my professional life, but in my personal life too.

Perhaps you’ve noticed it, too. Complaining about what’s going wrong - about what’s out of our control - can feel good when things don’t go our way.

It’s a natural human response and it’s nothing to feel ashamed about.

However, when it becomes your conditioned response to challenges - that’s when it steals your power and resourcefulness.

As leaders, it’s our responsibility to make change. And we can’t do that when we’re complaining.

Ready to ignite your resourcefulness - even in the face of massive challenges - so that you can make a massive impact?

Episode 123: “I don’t need career help because the thing in my way is out of my control.”

May 4th, 2020  |  22 mins 48 secs

I’ve talked with several potential clients who wonder if they even need career help.

They’re open to help...however…

They believe that what’s stopping them from reaching the next level in their careers is an external factor outside of their control - a global pandemic, the economy, racism/sexism/ageism, the culture of the company they work for, their boss’s personality, etc.

Yes, it’s true that much in life is out of our control, it’s important to remember what we DO have control over.

Episode 122: Do I stay or do I go? Why leaving a job can be hard.

April 29th, 2020  |  22 mins 5 secs

One of the hardest career decisions you’ll ever make is:

Do I stay at my current job or do I go on the job market to find something better?

The default is to stay. Keep what you have.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, right?

Not always.

Ready to get really clear about what you’re LOSING by staying at your current job?

April 27th, 2020  |  20 mins 23 secs

I’ve been hearing a lot lately about tech managers who are thinking about going on the job market to find a better job…

Do you want to stay in your comfort zone or do you want to build your dream career?

Episode 120: Are you constantly trying to convince others that you’re right? Here’s why this doesn’t work.

April 22nd, 2020  |  21 mins 55 secs

There’s an art and a science to influencing others.

Here’s how NOT to do it: “I’m right. You’re wrong. Let’s change the strategy.”

Unfortunately, because a lot of us never learned how to influence in school (last I heard, it’s not part of common core, yet)...

...we’re clueless about how to do it effectively.

In this episode, I share a major strategic shift that will drastically change the way you influence others - and will get you better results.

April 20th, 2020  |  27 mins 32 secs

I’ve been talking a lot lately about your own negative thoughts and feelings.

But what about dealing with OTHER people’s negative thoughts and feelings?

Or when you really want a team member to step up and lead a project, but she’s too scared to do it?

April 15th, 2020  |  19 mins 50 secs

You’re feeling isolated right now.  I know you are.

And that isolation leads to fear.  And doubt.

It leads to decisions based on scarcity.  Decisions based on “all I wanna do is survive.”
