In the book, Badan intertwines compelling stories from her own work experiences with straight-forward, no-nonsense advice. Peppered with humor, quick-wit, and compassion, topics in the book include: Work pays you to learn. It’s a privilege, so treat it like one. Do what makes you happy and f*ck anyone who says otherwise. Your career and your life don’t have to make sense to anyone but you. Know what your company is paying you to do. Don’t be an a*****e at work. Run toward what scares you. Take risks and bet on yourself. Failure comes in all different sizes. Success is the worst teacher. Have a vision and stick with it. Nothing ever good happens after 11:00 P.M.  How to get feedback without having a tantrum. Remember, nobody cares about your career, and this is a good thing.   Social Media: Instagram X TikTok

    The Language of Success with Theresa Slater

    Theresa Slater is the President of Empire Interpreting Service, which she founded in 2003. She built her company into a respected, award-winning organization with more than 300 interpreters and an array of customer-centric services. A speaker, author and advisor to new entrepreneurs, Slater’s love for business drives her on her path. Slater’s new book, The Language of Success: An Interpreter’s Entrepreneurial Journey (Business Expert Press, Aug. 30, 2024), is both autobiography and a how-to (or how not-to) guide for entrepreneurs.   Learn more at www.empireinterpreting.com.    It’s Time for Women Entrepreneurs to Know They’re Worthy  This segment is about how one woman’s journey from destitute teen to triumphant business leader is instructive for would-be women entrepreneurs.   The Big Idea: Statistics on failure rates for women-owned businesses would give would-be women entrepreneurs pause. Some 20 percent of startups fail in the first year, and nearly 50 percent by their fifth year. Further, women must battle feelings that they don’t “measure up” and that they’re not worthy of becoming business leaders.   The So-What: Theresa Slater’s personal journey from starting at below bottom to being a successful business leader is unorthodox, but instructive. It began when she left home at age 15 with just a ninth-grade education and only babysitting jobs for work experience. Her desperation in just being able to survive day-to-day greatly shaped her life and how she eventually came to run her own business. She came to realize that women tend to worry too much about what others think and lose opportunities “sitting in the corner worried about whether we’re worthy.”   Key Messages: Reflecting on the ways that grit, drive, and purpose got her through hardships and led her to become a successful business leader, Slater addresses: How to overcome imposter syndrome and self-doubt How to bootstrap your business and attract clients Why businesswomen must learn to stop apologizing How to move through the stages of doing everything yourself, to pulling away and becoming the strategic thinker Why entrepreneurs must commit to self-care How the drive for self-improvement never ends    SOCIAL MEDIA:  https://www.facebook.com/Terre.Slater/ https://www.facebook.com/empireinterpretingservice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/theresaslater/ X Account - @TerreSlater/ Hashtags : #LanguageServiceProvider #interpreting #AmericanSignLanguage #interpreters

  5. Redesign Work to Have Quality of Life with Brigid Schulte

    Redesign Work to Have Quality of Life with Brigid Schulte

    Brigid Schulte is the author of the bestselling Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time and an award-winning journalist formerly for the Washington Post, where she was part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize. She is also the director of the Better Life Lab, the work-family justice and gender equity program at New America. She lives in Alexandria, Virginia, with her husband and two children.   Over Work Talking Points: ●      Redesigning Work to have Time for Quality of life. How to more deliberately prioritize quality of life in our hectic day to day lives, focusing on meaningful work, caring for and connecting with others, and time to rest and play? That’s why it’s so critical we create smart and effective work cultures. Drawing from the change agents featured in the book, Brigid can show that, while they use different methods to redesign work for more quality of life, there are key strategies that are universal. The first is articulating a vision of a different future and believing it’s possible. The second is recognizing that change happens in a variety of ways, and that individuals, organizations, and policymakers all play a role. (With key takeaways for each) ●      Defining what “Good Work” is - a combination of meaning, fairness, and cooperation - and why it’s better for everyone – including businesses and the economy. The U.S., the richest country in the world, ranks 5th among advanced economies in the share of low-wage workers in the workforce – 44 percent. Americans are working harder and harder and feeling like they’re falling farther and farther behind. And far from the lazy worker trope, 70 percent of those who receive Medicaid or SNAP benefits work full time. How we can make all jobs good jobs. How one venture capitalist will only invest in companies that provide good jobs. And why, beyond human wellbeing, our economy – and our democracy -  depend on it. ●      Why Americans work such long hours, what it’s costing us and how we can change. Are short work hours the answer?   Knowledge workers work around the clock - even on vacation - in one job and low-wage and hourly workers are taking on multiple jobs and side hustles to survive. U.S. laws and policies that make it hard for workers to organize and demand better reinforce the overwork culture. Surveys show Americans choose more work and money over time off, and that we’d work even if we didn’t have to.  Brigid can share what she’s learned from reporting on efforts to change Japan’s work-til-you-die or “karoshi” culture, and how Iceland improved both gender equality and wellbeing - and productivity - with shorter work hours. (Hint: long hours don’t make work more productive, time off does.)   ●      How addressing 10 psychosocial stressors at work - like long work hours, work-life conflict, and toxic work cultures - will make work and life better for employees and employers alike. Work stress is the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S. and something we all need to be taking more seriously.   Brigid can talk about how short work hours movements are operational excellence missions in disguise and can boost productivity as well as wellbeing and gender equality., and how organizations and the entire country of Iceland have transformed as a result of working shorter, smarter hours.   ●      Real Wellbeing at Work, and why it matters. Why workplace wellness programs that focus on the individual as both the problem and the solution aren’t working, and why the solution to the burnout epidemic isn’t lunchtime yoga or a meditation app, but managers and organizations rethinking the way we work and acknowledging that those “right sizing” layoffs are part of the problem.   Real wellbeing is about systems-level solutions like reasonable workloads, having more choice, control, and autonomy over time, and being rewarded fairly

She started her career in finance where she learned about numbers, strategy, and leadership. After ten years in the corporate world, she completed a psychology degree – she wanted to understand why some of her bosses were brilliant and others were dismal.

Pryce-Jones divides her time between France and the UK, but works all over the world. Do you want speedier decisions? Better outcomes? And avoid costly mistakes? Your gut can help you. In fact, intuition is an essential tool that all leaders use to get to the top. If you’ve ever made a choice that looked illogical but proved to be right or had a sixth sense about something, your intuition was at work. Those hunches play a critical role in everything from deciding which job to take, who to hire and what to focus on. Which means that summoning intuition on demand and listening to what it’s telling you are vital at a time of radical change and instability. This ground-breaking book draws on the latest science, eye-opening anecdotes from senior leaders and the author’s own insights gained over 25 years’ coaching. It will show you that intuition is a practical, learnable, and immediately applicable skill that will accelerate your career.
