Brave Women at Work

Jen Pestikas

Leadership positions in corporations are overwhelmingly held by men. Women who want to advance their careers and have equal representation at the table face enormous obstacles in today's society. They are frequently viewed through the lens of stereotypes, making it difficult for them to demonstrate their worth. In response, it's only natural that they keep their heads down and wallow in their insecurities. Don't you wish there was a guidebook for women to use as they enter the workforce? With this, they could have a much easier time navigating the complex environment. Since there isn't anything like it out there, Jen Pestikas created a podcast called Brave Women at Work to fill the void. This show encourages women to believe in themselves and take charge of their professional lives so that they can progress to the next level. Each episode is devoted to a different set of issues that prevent professional women from reaching their full potential and obtaining the leadership positions they seek. Burnout and imposter syndrome are two common causes of self-sabotage. Learn to break free of the victim mentality and the distractions that prevent you from speaking up, and you will have taken the first step toward removing those obstacles. Get out of your comfort zone and into the path to achieving much larger objectives. Use the information you gain from this show to help you realize your full potential, then stand firm against the unjust demands of the business world. Listen in on discussions that teach you how to advocate for yourself and let others recognize the value you bring to the workplace. Don't let the long hours you spend at work make you feel bored or unappreciated. Find out when it's appropriate to negotiate your salary, your hours, and your position to get the most out of your job. One should not put their professional success in the hands of others. Take advantage of your unique abilities to make significant strides in your career. For over twenty years, Jen has worked as a Certified Career and Leadership Coach in the business world, and now she's bringing that knowledge to the podcast audience. She'll show you how to succeed professionally without sacrificing your personal life or putting on a false front. Gain self-assurance and knock down roadblocks to success with the help of Jen's insightful advice. In addition to her extensive expertise, Jen shares uplifting takeaways from her own corporate experience. Both burnout and the "imposter syndrome" have affected her. She struggled with many self-limiting beliefs and experienced her share of professional dissatisfaction. After spending many years in the predominantly male investment services industry, Jen learned what it takes to stand out as a strong, career-focused woman. She overcame adversity and is now the Senior Vice President of Business Development at a thriving financial institution. She is a shining proof of how far one can go in their careers by playing to their strengths and removing any self-doubt that may have been holding them back. On the podcast, Jen not only discusses her own life but also features interviews with other remarkable women. Find out how they overcame the obstacles they encountered in the business world and how they turned their setbacks into opportunities. These outstanding individuals were once in your shoes, and now you can benefit from their experiences and insights as you propel your own career to new heights. As long as men dominate the corporate world, it will be difficult for women to advance. Don't let the gender gap stop you from pursuing your professional goals. Acquire the resources you need to fully realize your potential by following Jen's guidance and the examples of her amazing guests. Luck will not make you a good leader. Instead, make people listen to what you have to say, become your own advocate, and take bolder action in everything you do. Listen to Brave Women at Work at https://bravewomenatwork.com/.

    The Chief Spiritual Officer Within You: Enter the Integration Era with Elizabeth Rosenberg

    I’m starting today’s show with one word – WOW. Just WOW. This podcast was one of the most thought-provoking I’ve had in a while. Why? Today’s guest, Elizabeth Rosenberg, is willing to have the conversation that no one is having but everyone should be having.  Here’s the question: How do we seamlessly integrate our spiritual and/or intuitive side with the professional side and not come off as a weirdo? During the show, Elizabeth and I also chatted about: The story behind her company, The Good Advice Company.What a Chief Spiritual Officer is, and why it is in all of us (and is also a growing community).How we can flex our intuition to be an authentic and powerful leader (and PS, Elizabeth thinks it’s possible for all of us).What happens when we face resistance from others who reject the idea of integration?How has living and working in this way made Elizabeth way more authentic?Whether your spiritual tradition is formal religion, meditation, prayer, or pulling a tarot card, Elizabeth believes you can integrate these pieces into cohesive leadership that serves others. And I don’t know about you, but this sounds like a world view I want to adopt and live in. Here is more about Elizabeth: Elizabeth Rosenberg is the founder of The Good Advice Company. She is a personal branding consultant and strategic communications and marketing advisor. She is passionate about driving authentic change and purposeful impact through her work. She has over 20 years of experience working with some of the most innovative brands (Apple, Nike, NFL, Clorox Company, Diageo, Cadillac) and leaders (Norman Lear, Lee Clow) in the world. Elizabeth loves PR and marketing and throughout her career has worked in almost every industry including entertainment, automotive, music, tech, sports, politics, CPG, food and beverage, health and wellness, and fashion. The key to every industry is the ability to understand people, tell a compelling story, and create, maintain and foster relationships. She is a two-time entrepreneur (not counting the thriving weekend lemonade stand she had as a kid or the Etsy shop she had in her early 30s). Elizabeth takes big leaps. She's comfortable repositioning herself and pivoting her career not only to bring her more joy, but to ensure she's offering services that are needed in the world. She gives people permission and a plan to do the same (if that's their goal!). Today, she works with creative agencies, start-ups and brands as a comms consigliere and strategic advisor — but mostly with executive leaders in all industries who are looking for a sense of purpose, a personal brand architecture, and an honest, transparent partner by their side. Elizabeth has truly never loved her job or her clients more and is grateful every day that she is making an impact and gets to connect and collaborate with such an inspired, creative and powerful community. A curious and voracious learner, she knows each day will bring something new and keep life endlessly interesting. Born, raised and based in Los Angeles (with the vibe of a New Yorker), Elizabeth is not just shaping brands — she's living hers in how she shows up every day, but also in sharing her stories and truths on a podcast or in a blog post. Most of all, she loves speaking about her health and wellness journey and truly believes there is a future where wellness, intuition and the corporate world all collide. If the Brave Women at Work Podcast has helped you personally or professionally, please share it with a friend, colleague, or family member. And your ratings and reviews help the show continue to gain traction and grow. Thank you again!

    Good Ripples Only: Leading with Joy and Intention with Lisa Even

    Have you heard the phase, “leadership is a big responsibility?” So many of us, including yours truly, initially got promoted because I was good at my job as an individual contributor. And no, I did not get management training. I fumbled and bumbled and was a manager, not a leader, for a long time.  I didn’t delegate well and tried to do everything myself. I didn’t fully trust my people, and in return, they didn’t trust me. I didn’t believe I was strategic or had vision. And I didn’t understand the need to create paths for my employees or how to have their backs in rooms they weren’t in.  Thank goodness, over time I learned. I did the internal work to forge myself into a leader. But, in my conversation with my guest today, Lisa Even, I realized that I am still learning. This is the first time that I learned about how powerful of a ripple effect leaders can have on their people and overall organizations. Also, I have never met someone until Lisa who realizes that joy is part of their jobs. Joy doesn’t just happen; we must plan for it and be present enough to fully experience it. During today’s show, Lisa and I chatted about: What is the leadership ripple effect.How leaders can happen to their teams and not the other way around.The difference between a good ripple and a bad one.Her book, Joy is My Job: A Book to Spark Joy Filled Mindset, Moments, and Experiences!Lisa’s upcoming book, What’s Your Ripple Effect? And Why it Matters More than Ever. A Leader’s Guide to Creating Lasting Impact and Influence.How Lisa finds space for joy in her life and work.Here is more about Lisa: Lisa Even (ee-ven) is on a mission to help leaders and organizations create the Ultimate Ripple Effect, the kind that moves people and drives impact. Better leaders. Better culture. Better results. A nationally recognized keynote speaker, bestselling author of Joy Is My Job, and host of the Have Good Ripple Effect podcast, Lisa has partnered with top organizations across the world to help teams navigate change and create remarkable performance. Through her signature S.E.A. Model (Show up, Engage, Adapt), Lisa teaches that culture and performance aren’t built in meetings; they’re built in the moments in between, through attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs. A former healthcare operational leader at a Fortune 500 company overseeing a multimillion-dollar budget, Lisa learned firsthand that great leaders don’t wait for culture to happen; they build it intentionally. Drawing on more than a decade of leadership experience, she equips audiences to move from the day-to-day hustle to captaining their own ship. Her message blends strategy, science, humor, and connection, showing that when leaders focus on creating a Good Ripple Effect, results always follow.
