The Art of Speaking Up

Welcome to the show! This week’s episode is for the woman who wants to feel bold and powerful when she speaks in meetings. No matter what your starting point is, there’s a powerful voice inside you and the first step to bringing it out is knowing what obstacles are blocking it. No matter what your specific situation is, the struggle to speak up is almost always caused by one of three different obstacles. In this episode I’ll walk you through what these obstacles are and help you identify which ones apply to you so you can focus on solutions that will actually work when it comes to developing your voice. I hope you enjoy this episode! To join the waitlist for The Art of Speaking Up Academy, click here: https://jessguzikcoaching.com/academy/ Catch you next week! XO Jess

EEEK! I am rather excited about this episode. Executive presence is a topic that is so important for your career, and yet so many leaders in the corporate world don’t really understand how to help women build it. In today’s episode, I’m explaining to you exactly what executive presence is and why it matters. I’m also sharing a super simple exercise you can do to start developing your own executive presence.

And when you do this – you will start showing up with SO much more confidence at work. Tune in to learn how and let me know what you think! Wanna listen to episodes that feature my inner typewriter?

Welcome to the show! Today is my favorite kind of interview: long, honest, winding, and a little bit of an escape from the real world. I had so much fun chatting with executive coach, Rayla Bailey, on what it means not only to lead with confidence, but to create joy and fulfillment in one’s life. We cover so much in this episode – some things you’ll hear us talk about are: -Mindset -Being a private/sensitive person -Building trust with yourself -Leading -Separating from the need for external validation -Chasing joy and playfulness -The importance of rest -The pressure to change your physical appearance at work Rayla was a delight to have on the show, and if you’re wanting to learn more about her, you can check out her website at: https://www.raylabailey.com/ If you’re interested in learning about working with me 1:1, you can check out https://jessguzikcoaching.com/ To join me in the free Facebook group, click here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theartofspeakingup I hope you’re having a WONDERFUL January, and I’ll catch you next week for a solo episode!

Welcome to another solo episode! Today, I’m talking about how you can take control of your professional trajectory & pave the way for a career path that is truly remarkable. I think that women in the corporate & professional world deserve best-in-class career development advice. That’s really what was missing for me in my career, and was why I started this show. As women – we need career guidance that is truly inspirational and allows us to tap into the strongest, most powerful version of ourselves. And that is exactly what this episode is designed to do. Listen in and I’ll guide you through a way of thinking that will make 2021 (or any year!) the year you show up DIFFERENTLY. Because when you show up differently, the world responds differently. And that is when things REALLY start to take off. I can’t wait for you to listen in.
