Wanna get promoted by Q4?
Here’s how.
No funny stuff.
The dead simple answer.
A client came to the session saying that she was having trouble advocating for herself at work because the issue felt like this (places palm over face) -- that she had no objectivity. The issue felt too close for comfort. She couldn't see the broader picture, and she felt stuck. If you can relate to this, try this technique I demonstrate in a 3-minute video tutorial.
Like the iPhone, learning the inner logic of our brains is user-friendly and doesn’t require a science degree. You can become skilled at using this inner logic to help you generate more confidence, get promoted, and get better paid.
In this space, we alchemize workplace anxiety, stuckness, and frustration into pragmatic groundedness, forward momentum, and therefore, gratifying self-actualization.
20 years ago, we were graduating from Smith and had NO idea that we can grow in our careers faster than we thought possible WITHOUT
✅ Overworking
✅ Over-accommodating
✅ Or overthinking the whole thing.
Still working on that last one? You’re not alone.
If you work for a bully who’s a heartless a-hole, my heart goes out to you, and I invite you to try this simple and powerful technique for stress reduction called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
The SECRET SAUCE to effective self-advocacy isn't to convince -- or to contort your communication tactics inauthentically, or to push your perspective on others in an aggressive and unethical way.
It’s easy to forget what an incredible privilege, astonishing gift it is to be a woman — anyway you define womanhood.
In this photo, I’m graced by two gorgeous genderqueer girlfriends for whom embracing their femininity is a brave step in bucking the “rules.”

Annie, a Corporate Development Director, shifted from feeling stuck in the “weeds” to “wowing” the decision-makers. She set SMART career goals, devised strategies to overcome obstacles, and articulated her vision to senior leadership. Her story can be yours, too.
I went from earning 50% below average as the only woman on a hedge fund team to coaching women to getting promoted and launching companies that pay multiples of their previous salaries. How?

My client shared something so delightful, I asked her permission right away to share this genius bit of wisdom with you.
For many smart, competent women, the mere idea of being free of their self-doubts can trigger Socialized Guilt.
Socialized Guilt is the culmination of -- over a lifetime -- being exposed to patriarchal conditioning, the message that we're wrong to take up so much space, to have power and to wield authority, because we're *supposed to* defer to others.

So, allow me to share a couple of reasons why the 30 women who DID decide to work with me in 2023 to date have shared with me.
"When I think about asking for raise, my anxiety spikes, because what if they say no? I'll feel like a total failure."
