The 4 “Brags” Every Woman Should Try To Boost Your Career Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

Singing your accomplishments at the office—especially a virtual one—is never an easy task, but how do you tout your achievements on the regular so that they’re always top of mind (without being annoying)? To help us answer this, we’re joined by Meredith Fineman, author Brag Better, and a woman who has built a career on working with "The Qualified Quiet": smart people who struggle to talk about themselves and thus go underestimated or unrecognized.

Welcome to The Femails by Career Contessa Jan 01, 2021

Show notes

Hi there, I’m Lauren McGoodwin, host of The Femails, a podcast from Career Contessa that focuses on the world of women and work by delivering helpful, actionable career tips and advice for women so you can be more fulfilled, healthy, and successful at work.
I started Career Contessa 7 years ago after making my own transition from admin assistant to recruiter at Hulu and learning first-hand what it’s like to be on both sides of the hiring table.
Now Career Contessa helps millions of women each year navigate their careers with trusted resources for every stage like job searching to management and leadership to career growth and all the grey area topics in between like productivity, salary talk, office politics, confidence, impostor syndrome and so much more.
So what can you expect on our podcast, The Femails? Each week the Career Contessa team and I will bring you actionable career advice on topics just like these so you can transform your career for the better.

By listening to The Femails each Tuesday, we’ll make it easy—and dare we say fun with some guaranteed LOLs—for you to build a successful career on your terms, create confidence-building habits, and reach your goals faster. This is The Femails.

Why "Humble" is The New Successful Dec 15, 2020

Most of us think we're humble - We don't brag about our success to people with less, spout our opinions like we’re the G.O.A.T., or judge people by a standard even we don't meet. But today’s guest and author of The Humility Paradox, Jessica Bellinger, challenges the pervasive assumption that most of us don't have a pride problem—we have a “humble” problem. Learn why humble is the new successful and how to make humility a daily practice.
