Are you your #1 priority?

Friday Jan 06, 2023

How many times have you put yourself on the backburner and adopted a "I'll do it tomorrow" mentality?

Many women overcomplicate how they approach a new year. Or overwhelm themselves with way too many ideas and goals.

Some might even wonder why you should bother planning ahead if you don’t know what you want yet.

Do you recognize yourself in any of those?

In this episode, you’ll discover the strategies of those women who will make their transition happen this year and those who will keep putting it on hold or being distracted (again).

Who will YOU choose to be?

How To Set Yourself Up for Success in 2023

Saturday Dec 10, 2022

In a previous episode I spoke about preparing yourself to be in control of your work annual review, in this episode I'll be taking you through how you can conduct your personal annual review and get the best from it.

I’m not a fan of New Year's resolutions but I am a fan of looking back at the past year, analyzing the lessons you learned, and setting goals for the new year

Conducting personal annual reviews has brought forth some amazing insights for me:

They help me understand my development areas.
They’ve improved the way I perform self-reflection and embrace the growth I’ve seen in the year gone by.
They clarify what I want and help me plan ways to turn my dreams into reality.

8 Ways Black Women Can Get The Most Out of Their Year-End Performance Review

Friday Dec 02, 2022

The end of the year often signals the annual performance review.

For some women, these can feel like a minefield to navigate, from being uncertain how to articulate their performance, navigating toxic bosses to microaggressions and more.

But with the unbalanced career field for Black women, the importance of these conversations cannot be diminished. For a process so often attached to important outcomes, from salary increases, bonus payments and promotions it’s no wonder these reviews can be an anxious time.

Recently I came across the term "protective hesitation" - the definition given was when a leader fails to give constructive criticism to an employee out of fear of being perceived as racist, sexist, homophobic, or any other prejudice.

Or as I’d prefer an appraiser not giving necessary feedback because they are worried about the appraisee’s reaction and want to avoid a difficult conversation.

It’s definitely been an issue I’ve observed in my career and a factor highly pertinent to Black women.

So let me share 8 tips to help you get the most out of your year end performance review.

Why You Need an Attitude of Gratitude (And How to Develop It)

Friday Nov 25, 2022

With the well documented challenges Black women face in their careers, it can sometimes be difficult to figure out what we've got to be grateful for.

And there have definitely been times in my life and career when I've wondered just that!

But once we stop having our mini pity parties, we soon realize that no matter how bad we think things are, there's someone out there who would welcome your situation.

Thankfully (no pun intended) practicing an attitude of gratitude is a skill we can all develop.

What NOT To Do With Your Career Change

Friday Oct 28, 2022

After over 25 years of being in my corporate career, I was unhappy. I was the definition of “stuck.” I had a career I thought I loved and was great at, but it just wasn’t enough.

And it showed, I was burnt out, exhausted and uninspired by my work.

The challenge was that at this stage of my life, I didn’t have the foggiest as to what else I could do without feeling like I was completely starting over.

Nothing I thought of offered me a solution that made sense. I had already worked so hard that I didn’t want to make a mistake, fail and lose everything. I felt like I was out of options.

So what did I do?

How To Own Your Career Origin Story

Friday Oct 14, 2022

When you've accrued many years of skills, experience and accolades, it can be difficult to succinctly articulate why you're an ideal candidate for a role.

It can become even more daunting when trying to demonstrate how your skillset can be applied to a role or industry you've never worked in before, when you want to transition your career.

And if you've ever thought "there's no way that my working in X can be ever be used to have a career in Y", then you're wrong!

In either of these scenarios it is possible, you just need to be clear on your career origin story.
