The world recently his a major milestone: the number of women CEOs finally outnumbers those named John. In a world that is steeped in inequalities for women in the workplace, this episode focuses on how you can break free from self-sabotage and focus on your own career growth.

Inspired by the valuable insights shared in Lois P. Frankel's book, "Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office," Julia Brown discusses taking ownership of your career, pursuing your ambitions, and embracing your true potential. In a world still grappling with gender inequality, we discuss practical tips and strategies for women to shed the "Nice" label and be taken seriously in their professional lives.

We explore key advice, such as avoiding diminutive tasks that fall outside your scope, asserting your presence in male-dominated spaces without being relegated to note-taking or coffee-getting roles. We also discuss the importance of not allowing your subordinates to delegate their responsibilities upward, standing up to workplace bullies instead of staying silent, and refraining from unnecessary apologies when you've done nothing wrong.
