191 | How to kick off your meetings with ease
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.

In this week’s episode, I’m walking you through a simple formula that was a gamechanger for me when kicking off meetings.

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

181 | Why trying to sound smart in meetings isn’t a good idea (and what to do instead)
Do you pressure yourself to sound super smart when you speak up in meetings? If you do – I want you to know that this is totally normal, and something we ALL do. We’re messy humans who want people to think positive things about us – so naturally, we sometimes get preoccupied with sounding smart when we speak. But - the problem with trying to sound smart when you speak is that it ends up causing you to sound LESS smart. In fact, focusing on sounding smart can really get in the way of you becoming a powerful communicator. In this week’s episode, I’m explaining why this is true, and suggesting a totally different (and far more effective approach) to dazzling your audience. And the good news is – it’s a lot easier than trying to sound smart. I hope you enjoy this week’s episode!

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing my #1 most effective tool for navigating self-doubt and impostor syndrome.

Today’s topic FIRES me up because there are some very confused people out there in Corporate America telling women that in order to be more compelling, they need to be LOUD. Um – what?!

173 | Why it’s so hard to feel competent (even if you’re pretty good at what you do)
Questioning your competence is not only exhausting and emotionally draining – but it can prevent you from creating the career that you’re truly capable of. I’ve seen woman after woman get stuck in a pessimistic, inaccurate view of her own competence – wrongly believing that she just isn’t as good at her job as everyone else around her. While this sense of inadequacy can FEEL really real, it usually isn’t rooted in objective reality and it’s usually the symptom of some deeper mindset challenges which are COMPLETELY in your power to address. Today I’m walking you through the mindset pitfalls that can cause you to feel chronically incompetent, so that you can begin to break out of them and finally trust that you have everything you need to THRIVE in your job and career.

171 | Becoming a commanding presence in meetings (even when you’re not an expert)
Commanding a room has WAY less to do with having all the answers than you might think it does.

In this episode, I’m walking you through an alternative to “fake it till you make it” that will help you project TRUE confidence from the inside out. I’m explaining why so many people stay stuck when it comes to exuding confidence when they speak, and how to get unstuck if that happens to you.
