191 | How to kick off your meetings with ease Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

I don’t know about you, but I used to struggle SO much when kicking off meetings. For some reason, saying those first few sentences out loud to the group would cause me to feel so anxious and awkward. For years, I experienced so much dread around that experience.

Things got much better for me when I found a way to kick off meetings that felt both powerful and authentic. In this week’s episode, I’m walking you through a simple formula that was a gamechanger for me when kicking off meetings. My hope is that you can use this tool to help ease the stress you might feel at the top of a meeting, and to find that powerful voice that’s somewhere inside you!

190 | Tackling the fear of advancing upwards: why promotions can feel scary and what to do about it May 31, 2022

Show notes

One of the biggest things that stops women from pursuing leadership and executive positions is fear of the unknown. When you’re stepping into a newer, bigger role, there are SO many unknowns – and if you struggle with impostor syndrome in your current role, advancing upwards can sometimes feel undesirable and overwhelming.

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing a perspective that I hope will normalize the fear AND encourage you to dream big and reach for more if professional growth and upwards promotions is something you desire. I hope to give you permission to OWN your desire for growth, and go after it, EVEN IF it feels like a stretch. Because the truth is – just because it’s a stretch – doesn’t mean it’s too much of a stretch for you.

I hope you enjoy this episode! My links are below:

184 | Authority: the art of being perceived as the LEADER in the room when you speak (mastering meetings, part 3) May 10, 2022

Show notes

Today’s episode continues my mini-series on standing out in meetings, and today we’re talking about one of the most important things for your career: authority.

Authority means that when you speak, people quiet down and listen. They see you as being credible, and they actively tune in when you communicate because they trust that your perspective is important.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through what will help you convey authority when you speak, even if you are someone who identifies as being more on the shy or quiet side. The wonderful news is – no matter what your authentic communication style is – developing authority is totally possible and doable for you.

I hope you find today’s episode super useful.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through why it’s so important to get more visible, and helping you begin to overcome some of the internal obstacles that might prevent you from speaking up and getting super visible in those meeting rooms.
