    Shifting & Signing Off - Let's Seek Together!

    Shifting & Signing Off - Let's Seek Together!

    I'm thrilled to share with you a new chapter in my journey. After years of chasing external achievements, I've realized that real growth comes from within. Despite my accomplishments in the tech industry, authoring books, and researching women in the workplace, I found myself yearning for something more profound, more meaningful.
    I hit a personal wall, and it led me to a path of self-discovery and seeking. This journey has been so transformative that I've penned down my experiences and key findings in a new book. One of the most significant revelations was the "I should" mindset. It's a trap that many of us fall into, but the real magic happens when we align our time and actions with our true goals.
    And now, I'm excited to announce my new podcast and community, "Together We Seek." It's a space where we can continue this journey of self-discovery together, learning from each other's experiences and growing as a collective.
    I'm incredibly grateful for your support and would love to personally chat with anyone interested in discussing this further. So, come join me, let's seek together.

    You can find me at www.TogetherWeSeek.Online where I hope you join the live discussions and community!

    "Lassoing" Your Energy: A Quick Exercise for a More Productive Life
    Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant chatter in your head? Do you find yourself constantly reflecting on the past or worrying about the future? If so, you are not alone. In the latest episode of "Career Strategies for Women That Work," we will explore an exercise called "lassoing" to help manage your energy and shift your focus.
    This exercise helps to physically move the energy from your head to other parts of your body, providing a new perspective and giving your mind a break from constantly processing information.  
    There is even an option to deposit this energy into the ground, where it can be fertilized by mother nature and create space for new growth.
    It can be challenging to find time to slow down when we have so many responsibilities and people depending on us. However, prioritizing our energy is often needed to shift. This exercise can be done anywhere, anytime, and can help you feel more productive and focused.
    "Seeking," includes a chapter on managing energy and can be found on Amazon or in local bookstores. As managing one's energy and achieving success in all aspects of life.

    Purpose of Lassoing Your Energy [00:06:20] The speaker explains the purpose of lassoing one's energy, which is to move energy around the body to get a new perspective, think of things differently, and give the head a break.
    Spreading White Light [00:07:04] The speaker talks about spreading white light and love from the heart to the rest of the body as a way to give mental break and intercept negative self-talk.

    ERGs - Enhance the Impact of Women at Work with Laura Weldy

    ERGs - Enhance the Impact of Women at Work with Laura Weldy

    ERGs - Enhance the Impact of Women at Work with Laura Weldy 

    We've seen the representation of women in leadership roles across all industries decline since the pandemic began, and women focused ERG's provide a great jumping off point for who and how to grow in house leaders. 

    In fact, women's focused employee resource groups are a widely underleveraged opportunity for many companies to deepen their leadership pipelines and develop some of the most high potential, most culturally engaged employees in the company. 

    By strengthening the structural support for these groups, allocating time and opportunities for group activities, gamifying the membership process and even devising in house training programs based on the group needs, there is an opportunity to allow new leaders to step up and shine.

    Join me as I chat with Laura Weldy.  A Women’s Leadership & Career Success coach, and an unapologetic champion for women seeking to build a career & life they love. 

    After struggling with burnout, impostor syndrome and uncertainty in her own career, Laura decided to eliminate these issues for other career women.
     These days, she uses her Personal Power Code personality assessment to help ambitious career women around the world put a vocabulary to their own worth in the workplace. She pairs this with her expertise as a masterful certified coach & NLP practitioner to create customized roadmaps for her clients to go from overlooked and overworked in the ‘Pre-Suite’ to celebrated and confident in the C-Suite as intuitive and authentic leaders at all levels.
