Time and again, I’ve encountered incredibly capable women being perceived as lacking a commanding presence. This perception can be career-limiting because executive presence is deemed crucial for inspiring trust and motivating teams. Today, I want to unpack this notion and explore how every one of us can project power in our roles by embracing our big boss energy. Women often face a double bind: we're expected to be nurturing and excel in soft skills, yet we also need to assert ourselve...
What leadership shadow are you casting on your team? Are you even aware of the tone you’re setting in the workplace, and how it might be affecting the organisation? As leaders, we really do have the power to create a positive work environment - as well as a toxic one. However, we often don’t realise just how impactful our habits, actions and overall leadership style can be on those around us. By understanding what your leadership shadow is, you can begin to intentionally cre...

When I first started navigating my career, I was like many others—relying heavily on the support and guidance of those closest to me. My immediate circle of friends, family, and colleagues played a crucial role in my development. But as I ventured further into my career, I realised something unexpected: the people who know us best, while loving and supportive, often limit us with their perceptions of who we've been, rather than who we can become. We all have those moments where we yearn...
I see it time and time again. Women who are passionate, driven, and ready to make a significant impact in their careers often find themselves at a crossroads. They aspire to have fulfilling and rewarding careers, yet when asked what exactly they want or what their focus is, they draw a blank. The advice I give my clients is to know your focus. Simplify your focus so you can amplify your results. This clarity is the key to having a remarkable and successful career. I usually ask my...
Do you ever find yourself waiting for someone else to recognise your potential before you take the next big step in your career? You're not alone. Waiting for external validation is the biggest thing I see holding women back in their careers, and it’s understandable. It feels good to have someone acknowledge our achievements, and we feel safer with a pat on the back or words of encouragement. However, if we’re looking to others for permission, we end up playing small. Not only will it be diff...

First, I want to highlight the three main reasons why I see women feeling stuck in their careers: 1. ...
Recently at bootcamp, I had the chance to celebrate with my trainer, Justin, who has been in the personal training business for 14 years. That's no small feat given that most businesses don't make it past their fourth year. Additionally, surviving through COVID-19 and maintaining a loyal client base is remarkable. So I asked Justin about the keys to his success, and his response was golden: “Don't let the highs get too high, and don't let the lows get too low." I think this is great adv...

Despite being highly competent, women in leadership often encounter unique challenges that can stymie their professional growth. These habits, which might have served us well early in our careers, can actually become corrosive once we get to a certain point. They can derail us from taking that next step and being the impactful leader we really want to be. Today, I’m doing something a little bit different and reviewing a book that left such an impression on me that I believe every woman who l...
Imposter syndrome is real, but I often hear my clients stand behind imposter syndrome as a catch-all explanation for why things feel difficult. It’s when we dig a little deeper that we often find it’s not imposter syndrome at all - it’s that we aren't properly prepared or really doing what it takes to create the results we want. This topic comes on the back of a number of conversations I've had with my clients recently. I want to say at the outset, these are all incredible women who are...

Admitting and accepting this may be uncomfortable, but it's essential for taking ownership of your situation and driving meaningful change. When we own our circumstances, we move from a passive state—where things happen to us—to an active state, where we're in control and back in the driver's seat. Today’s episode is a juicy one, where we’ll explore the common barriers that keep us from our true ...

Men, we need you. If we want to continue to be a thriving, sustainable, and profitable industry, we need to get more women into this industry and strive for gender equity. The only way we are going to get there is if we have the support of male allies to help drive that change. The Changing Landscape Recently, I was at a NAWIC event, where we were discussing and sharing stories. Someone asked me, "Is the industry changing? Are we actually seeing positive outcomes for women in the industry?" T...
