If you want to feel more in control of your career, I want you to know something…
You don’t need to work harder, faster and longer than everyone else. While being technical competent is definitely a minimum, once you are good at your job, your time is better spent expanding your skill set beyond your technical expertise.
Improving your productivity and efficiency will only result in more work being dumped on your plate. Doing more of what you’re already doing will not help you grow and learn. More of the same will just leave you overwhelmed UNLESS you’re clear on these foundational elements for a successful career.
The reality is that most women aren’t clear enough about these 5 foundational elements, so they struggle to advance their careers and achieve success.
These 5 foundational elements are at the heart of every woman’s success:
- reclaim your POWER
You have more power than you think you do
- see your POSSIBILITIES
Hear your own voice about your true wants and desires
- develop your PRESENCE
We are all being judged on our competence and capabilities
- recognize your PROGRESS
It’s about the journey rather than the destination, so celebrate your small wins along the way
- find your PEOPLE
No one succeeds alone so we need to surround ourselves with the people who will help us succeed
Now I know you may have invested a lot of your time in developing your expertise and that has probably taken the vast majority of your time. But in reality, the return on that investment hasn’t moved the needle for you in climbing the corporate ladder at your organization. You haven’t gotten the recognition you deserve, or maybe you have been passed over for that new, exciting opportunity or promotion.
This has left you frustrated and questioning what it takes to get ahead in this company. That’s a real problem, because when you’re frustrated, I can guess that you aren’t showing up as your best self at work.
Are you curious about which element is most important for you to focus on? Take this quiz to find out and get some quick tips to get you started so you can start to take back control of your career.

It’s important to understand that reclaiming your POWER is key to growing a successful career.
It’s what builds a solid strategic foundation to create the life you desire. So many women chase one strategy after another, going in a million different directions with little to no results to show for their efforts. But once you recognize that your actions lead to your results, then you can take full responsibility for your career and your life.
If you’re ready to build a solid strategic foundation, so you can confidently advance your career, you’re in the right place.
And I’m going to help you make it happen.
I work with amazing, smart, savvy, professional women, just like you.
The only problem is, you’re stuck.
- You grumble about the injustice of being overlooked for opportunities you feel you deserved.
- You can’t quite figure out what it takes to achieve career success, or maybe it’s that you don’t know the secret to maintaining your successful career.
- You’re bored with your job. It no longer challenges you but there’s nothing new or exciting on the horizon.
- You’re feeling like your life is happening to you, just drifting along with no real direction.
- You feel like you’re running into roadblocks at every turn.
- You’re wondering how to move forward to reach your potential.
Some days, you even wonder if you've hit a wall in your career and this is all there is.

Here's What We're Going To Do Together:
1. reclaim your POWER
Many people spend months or even years spinning their wheels complaining, blaming everyone around them and making excuses for why they aren’t achieving the success they think they deserve. We’re going to do a deep dive into solving that problem – once and for all.
- We'll get clear about WHAT you really want for yourself in all areas of your life, including your career
- Then we'll identify exactly WHAT success means for you and HOW you'll know when you've achieved it
- Then we'll figure out WHAT you want to be known for in this phase of your career
- You can use these tips to help you understand that everyone around you is entitled to do or say anything they want to, but it doesn't need to have any impact on what you do or how you feel
THE RESULT: You’ll have clarity on who you are becoming and you’ll understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings and actions to achieve the results you desire.
2. see your POSSIBILITIES
Many people don’t allow themselves to dream, and certainly don’t know how to dream bigger. Sometimes it’s the beliefs we’ve taken on from childhood or limitations we’ve adopted during our working life that we haven’t questioned and they continue to hold us back.
- We'll get clear about WHAT it is you've always wanted but didn't think was possible
- Then we'll identify your LIMITING BELIEFS that are holding you back and replace them with more courageous thinking
- Then we'll help you make a conscious CHOICE about whether you will pursue the want, delay the want, or deny the want
- You can use these tips to help you set some goals, let the fear be there (because knowing what you want is scary), and commit to doing the work to make it happen for yourself
THE RESULT: You’ll have an understanding of what is possible for you.
3. develop your PRESENCE
Many people don’t realize that there are many things we are doing that are sabotaging our success. We need to consciously decide how we’re going to show up for ourselves and what we’re going to believe.
- We'll make some tweaks to HOW you are thinking, feeling and acting
- Then we'll identify some changes to HOW you sound that are working against you
- Then we'll help you DEVELOP unshakable self-confidence
- You can use these tips to help you set some boundaries so how you feel isn't conditional on what others think of you
THE RESULT: You’ll come across as confident and competent, without being either too much or not enough.
4. recognize your PROGRESS
Progress not perfection. We all make mistakes, but it’s how you handle those missteps that makes all the difference in how resilient you will become.
- We'll identify WHERE your perfectionist tendencies are holding you back from enjoying your accomplishments
- Then we'll identify some new things that will STRETCH you just beyond your comfort zone
- Then we'll help you anticipate the obstacles and develop strategies to mitigate them
- You can use these tips to help you set rewards for yourself and then do regular reviews of your progress so you can enjoy those rewards
THE RESULT: You’ll develop persistence to keep working towards what you want, no matter what
5. find your PEOPLE
We all need people, even the most introverted among us. But at the same time we’re afraid to need people for fear of being manipulated and deceived.
- We'll identify your SUPPORTERS who will encourage you and cheer you on
- Then we'll identify your MENTORS who will guide you and champion your work
- Then we'll identify your CHALLENGERS who will hold you accountable and continue to strive for more
- You can use these tips to help you build your social capital by being an ally in the workplace
THE RESULT: You’ll develop strategies and tactics to become more politically sophisticated and gain influence in your organization
IMPORTANT
Any one of these things can move the needle immediately for your career.
