Build Your Brave Career for Women in Tech

Women in tech are just stressed out, overworked, overlooked, and underpaid, right? NOPE! Not around here. Around here we build the skill of bravery to stress less, work less, and then earn more as women in tech. At this point in your career, you're more educated, skilled, and experienced than most of your colleagues, but you are also more stressed, working more, and are pretty sure you’re underpaid. And you are done accepting the status quo. You are ready to get what you’ve already earned and then grow your career even further…without burning out. You don’t know how you’re going to do it (yet!) but you suspect the process will require you to be braver. Enter the Build Your Brave Career podcast. Build Your Brave Career is the podcast to help you build the skill of bravery, one episode at a time, so you make the bold moves and big leaps required to craft a career of more impact and income... with less stress and overwork. Tune in each week for a mix of guest conversations and solo episodes to learn how to build the skill of bravery. We explore the skill of bravery and the role it plays in your career and life including, stressing less, taking decisive action, working less, career growth, relationship building for career success, crafting purpose and fulfillment, salary increases and negotiations, overcoming obstacles, and sharing concrete tips and tricks for career satisfaction. Your host, Nicole Trick Steinbach is the international bravery coach... but bravery is not something that has ever come naturally to her. Instead, she learned through success and failure how to develop and harness the skill of bravery to create an empowering, lucrative, and global career. And it worked: Nicole is a former executive in the technology industry without a background in tech, has worked in over 25 countries while running transformational change projects, and is now at home in both the US and Germany.

    You matter: Embrace Bravery and Resilience Through Difficult Events

    You matter. Especially during difficult events:  Choosing to bravely recognize and believe in your inherent worth is brave. Deciding that your voice deserves to be heard, that your dreams, goals, career, relationships, and money matter is brave. Getting and staying involved in building the community, career, life, and world you desire is brave.This week I address the emotional fallout after the most recent US elections. This is a dedicated brave space for women in tech who are grappling with emotions ranging from sadness to anger, fear, and betrayal. Wherever you are, know that your feelings are valid and that you matter. I share some of two of the quotes helping me through this time:  “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.” -Star Trek “I never lose. I either win or I learn.” -Nelson MandelaI also share a small slice of how my family's past drives my commitment to making brave choices for a better future. This episode is a powerful reminder to embrace your inherent worth, your right to feel, and your right to take up space in the world.  Remember: you matter. Call to Action: If you found this episode valuable, please share the Build Your Brave Career podcast with a friend.  You can be a woman in tech and enjoy your career. When you build the skill of bravery, you will stress less, work less, and then earn more.
