We discuss the importance of women connecting with themselves, the transformational power of community, and the need for conducive environments that foster growth and success.  Especially at a highly chaotic and uncertain time when women need more support than ever.  Rha is an amazing woman and my interview with her put a smile on my face and charged me for days to come.  I hope it does the same for you too!

    This Bowling Champion Will Teach You How To Strike a Director Promotion

    Today I interview one of my favorite clients ever - Lori Edwards, a Director at Niche - an ed-tech leader in school search.   If you’re in the first decade of your career and looking to break through the Director level, this conversation can give you the mindset shift that will help you replicate her success, even if you feel stuck and frustrated at the moment. Lori had spent seven years as a Product Manager when she joined her current startup as a Senior PM. That’s when things got complicated. The head of her team didn't have a product background, so Lori found herself managing everything and everyone. She was clearly operating below her level.  Frustrated at waiting on a promotion that never came, she struggled to figure out why she was not moving up in the company.  Just when she had resigned that there wasn't a role above her opening up anytime soon, she discovered the Denali Executive Accelerator.  After the Program and while continuing to work with CareerClimb, Lori received two promotions.  She had set her initial goals for a year but achieved them 3 months early.   Today Lori is a recognized leader in her company with a strong team.   In our conversation, I explore the secrets to her continued career success. How to cultivate the mindset of an athlete and a championThe critical importance of unlearning habits in order to relearn better onesHow to deal with failure and being stuckHow to get people to trust you, even though you may be the youngest in the groupAlso, discover: The go-to framework Lori uses for change management that has gotten her visibility and results at her companyThe way she learned how to negotiate with authority during a hospital stay and how she uses this skill at workHow Lori chooses who she surrounds herself with and learns from (hint: your environment trumps everything else)And more!

    Working for Steve Jobs Almost Broke This Female Exec - and Walking Away Built her Character

    Today I interview Alessandra Ghini, my very first executive coach and a partner at Go Partners.  We talk about what it was like working with Steve Jobs at Apple and how Alessandra survived the most difficult working environment for years before walking away at the peak of the company's rise.  Following her tenure at Apple, Alessandra worked with Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks on relaunching the Starbucks brand. Alessandra and I discuss: 1) What was Steve Jobs like as a boss and how he would insult his people, 2) How to not get destroyed or infected by a toxic culture, 3) How to not sell your soul destroyed at the hottest company in the world, even if it's led by an iconic figure whom the whole world worships, 4) The bad name Steve Jobs had picked out for one of Apple's products and what made him change his mind (hint, it was not the input of his marketing team) 5) The difference between working with Steve Jobs and Howard Schultz and their distinct CEO styles. 6) How to be financially independent, so you can walk away from a bad situation

  8. 5 Resilience Strategies I Learned from this CPO who Fought for Her Daughter's Adoption as a Single Mom

    5 Resilience Strategies I Learned from this CPO who Fought for Her Daughter's Adoption as a Single Mom

    Nivedita Ojha has broken quite a few norms in her life.  But none more significant than the decision she made to adopt an older child from an Indian orphanage as a single mom. It was the spring of 2020 and as the world came to a halt at the onset of COVID, Nivedita was unable to travel to India to bring her new daughter home.  What followed was 9 months of a forced wait as Nivedita's boss transitioned out and a new executive came in - one who felt threatened by the independence of an Indian woman who dared to adopt a child as a single parent and single provider.   Today as I sit down with this brave woman full of fire, passion, generosity, and optimism, I want to know the key to her ability to overcome challenges - both professional and personal - as a high-level female executive.   Nivedita is currently Chief Product Officer at FORT Robotics, in charge of a high-precision suite of products that combine both software and hardware.  She loves her job, her company, and her team.  But the road to here has not been easy.  It has taken her from leading her own startups to VP roles at companies like Citrix and Autodesk. There were many times in her career when Nivedita didn't exactly fit in with her big personality, big energy, passionate voice and bold vision in the package of an Indian woman. But she persevered.  And she's here to share the lessons learned and the keys to not just surviving some spectacular challenges, but to thriving and enjoying her life and work fully.
