I’ve come to realize I am in control of my career path…
and that I can do many things to promote myself within the company. More importantly, I’ve realized that I do need to ‘coach myself.’ No one else is going to do that for me. The change comes from within. I credit this change to Nancy, who has given me the tools to coach myself to the top.
Nancy Writes
Without Humor…. I Don’t Know Where I’d Be
Humor serves a broad range of functions when it comes to your work and career experience.
Omnium-Gatherum
Being yourself is more career-enhancing than anything else you can do. You know you, and nobody else can be you. But more often than you realize, women undermine their leadership presence by the very words they use.
I could have avoided some major problems…
It… was, for me, both good news and bad news. By that, I mean that I wish I’d had the information when I began my professional career some 20+ years ago. If I had, I could have avoided some major problems encountered when trying to figure out how to work most effectively with my male peers and superiors.
A real look at what it takes to be an executive…
It… helped me understand the blocks and get to the root of them. Nancy… spoke the truth with no sugar coating and provided some great real examples to help the light bulbs go on. It was a focused, no bull, a real look at what it takes to be an executive.
Its about… celebrating your strengths
The… focus is not on learning how to become more like a man, but on celebrating your strengths as a woman, and on understanding what may be getting in the way of your being successful in the roles defined in the business world.
