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. 

The real secret to negotiating for what you want ISN'T something you don't already know. 

It's actually about DISSOLVING the reasons you hesitate, "wait and see", or avoid having conversations with people who can say no. 

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.

We explore the profound connection between our foremothers' dreams and our contemporary achievements. We celebrate the legacy of women's liberation and the transformative power of financial freedom.

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).

What results would you need to create for the coaching to pay for itself?

What if, as a result of coaching, you negotiated a pay bump?

And what would it be worth in the long run to have the mindset and strategies of confident self-advocacy become second nature to you? 

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.”

🤦🏾‍♀️ When you’re a woman, a minority in the workplace, you will encounter comments insinuating you should be “grateful” for what you earn now (which makes me so mad… don’t get me started on how sexist that is).

👉🏼 But here’s the thing: your rebuttal does NOT have to be confrontational.

🫵🏽 YOU, my reader, are a leader.

Here's how I define leadership:

• Your willingness to go first before knowing exactly how it all gets done.

• Your capacity to come up with solutions that benefit others.

Cindy Gallop and I discussed:

• Women at any age can relish having (more) money and sex

• Ending rape culture and the culture of enabling workplace sexual harassment 

• A vision that upturns our socialized norms about sex and how that can change how we relate to each other and share power in the workplace

We have the silent, lethal epidemic of LONELINESS amongst us. Here are steps to cure it: Form in-the-flesh, IRL connections with a community unrelated to your work or career. Let youreslf detox from screens, even if for 2 hours at a time, and embrace physical activities, which boost your overall well-being, creativity, confidence, and leadership presence.

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? By getting unstuck, getting strategic, and quieting the itty bitty sh*tty committee in my mind. It's your turn. Join the free webinar on 1/19/24 - "SMART Start."

Got big goals for 2024 but feeling stuck? Meet the itty bitty shitty committee - that pesky voice in your head giving you a million reasons why you'll fail or why today's not the day to get started.

You ready for this? 

My client shared something so delightful, I asked her permission right away to share this genius bit of wisdom with you.

The plagiarism accusation against Harvard President Claudine Gay reveals the intertwining of office and race politics in higher education. Women of color leaders often face heightened scrutiny due to systemic biases in the workplace. As an executive coach for women, I help WOC leaders who feel like they're walking a narrow "tightrope." To hear it in action, listen to an actual coaching segment.
