Her Ambitious Career

Today I am sharing 5 important steps that you really need to fall in love with if you want to get promoted to a senior leader level position.They aren't the only steps of course... But these 5 steps come from the angle of managing your career more effectively, managing up and taking ownership of your value. I absolutely loved writing and recording this ep... because there's so much practical truth in here...So let's do this - are you ready to step things up? Here's something interesting I shared today:"Lots of women who I meet deliver great results; that step isn’t under review. The piece that a lot of women I meet do struggle with is then capitalising on those results. What do you want now, having delivered these results? Learning how to love sharing your accomplishments is an important step to take and one you need to fall in love with to get promoted."

Here's how to get back in the driving seat of your career...Sometimes there are circumstances you can control and sometimes, they are beyond it. How much of what is going on for you right now in your career is because you aren't actually being set up for success in the first place? Whether it's a lack of resource, of personnel or of financial investment...A lack of leadership...A lack of clarity...Or lack of support and opportunity...Missing these factors can have a profound impact on the results you can achieve right now. Today I want to help you identify what exactly is in place to support your total success and what, quite frankly, is missing.Links:Get the free workbook I talk about in this ep!

I'm Rebecca Allen and I am a Executive & Personal Brand Coach and I have a real passion for getting to the heart of my clients' issues...Which can often boil down to understanding their values.And this is the final part of a 3-part series all about our VALUES...In Part 1, I came to you to talk about how being overly RESPONSIBLE could actually be sabotaging you and adding to your overwork.  Listen to that Ep #110 here.And in Part 2, I talked about LOYALTY as a value and how allowing that value to trump your own needs can actually hold you back too. Listen to that Ep#111 here.So today, in Part 3, we are discussing the PERFECTION value...Which on the face of it, appears to have a positive intention to help you deliver outstanding work, right?However it also brings with it a great deal of disappointment (when you or others don't meet expectations), stress and self-criticism... which can be extremely unhelpful!! Here's something interesting I said in this ep! :)"Over-prioritising 'perfect outcomes' means you'll always be disappointed because perfect outcomes are, by their very nature, impossible to achieve. And whilst you're chasing 'perfect' your peers will be chasing 'really great' outcomes and using the time they save to get ahead faster in their careers."  (Rebecca Allen, Career Success Coach and host of Her Ambitious Career podcast)*****Some More About Your Host:Rebecca Allen is a Career Success Coach for ambitious women who want more from their lives and careers.

I'm Rebecca Allen and I am a Career & Personal Brand coach who works with my  clients to help them thrive in their roles and build their executive profiles... which often requires us to do some work on their mindset.We all have values that are important to us but...What happens if staying true to one of your own values actually causes you stress or holds you back in some way?For example, overly-responsible people can have a really difficult, even anxious, time...And in today's ep I am going to be talking about the fact that there are 'healthy' levels of responsibility... As well as 'unhealthy' levels where you become overwhelmed, taken advantage of by other people or are drowning in overwork. Here's something interesting I said in this ep! :)"If you are overly responsible, it can lead to burnout especially if you continue to accept more responsibility (despite knowing you shouldn't). I'd love you to ask yourself: perhaps not everything is actually your responsibility?"  (Rebecca Allen, Career Success Coach and host of Her Ambitious Career podcast)*****Some More About Your Host:Rebecca Allen is a Career Success Coach for ambitious women who want more from their lives and careers.

Welcome to Her Ambitious Career, the personal branding and success podcast for corporate women who want to get promoted, be sought out for their expertise and be paid appropriately for their impact.Hi there! I'm Rebecca Allen and I am a Career & Personal Brand coach who works with my  clients to help them thrive in their roles and build their executive profiles... which often requires us to do some work on their mindset.A common challenge that many of these smart, qualified, high-achieving women encounter is the 'need to be liked'.In this episode I am diving deep to explain the difference between 'wanting' and 'needing' to be liked...And how wanting to be liked is actually really healthy and productive... Whilst needing to be liked just brings with it untold anxiety and feelings of inadequacy.  Here's something interesting I said in this ep! :)"Needing to be liked, where the expectation is that everyone will like you (as well as everything you say) means you’re always seeking control and certainty… which just sets you up to fail because in reality, we have none of either."  (Rebecca Allen, Career Success Coach and host of Her Ambitious Career podcast)If you have ever wanted to get over this 'need to be liked', this is the ideal starting point for you!Let's get started!*****Some More About Your Host:Rebecca Allen is a Career Success Coach for ambitious women who want more from their lives and careers.
