    [BONUS] There Is More To Promotion than MONEY

    [BONUS] There Is More To Promotion than MONEY

    There Is More To Promotion than MONEY



    Money is a big part of promotion, but there is more value in getting promoted than money alone. Our prosperity is tied to how we thrive, so it's important to establish a healthy perspective and desire for promotion. That's right, it's important that we "stay hungry" and do not settle. When we understand the value of what's in it for us, we can find purpose and a compelling "why" for advancing and experiencing success.



    During this Winning Wednesday LIVE, I will shed some light on what's more important than money to encourage to pursue the success you want and desire at work.



    Join Me for my FREE 3-Day Get Promoted Challenge. It's time to GET SERIOUS about your success and I will help you with a plan and strategy to get the promotion you want and deserve.

Tonya BJ ,

Vulnerable Power

I listen to Denise frequently and she always hits home with incredible wisdom. But I just listened to the episode with Gabrielle Stephan and not only was the information powerful. Denise’s vulnerability in this episode was so pure and open…it displayed the true POWER that truly resides within her.

Thank you Denise! You always give the truth and I absolutely love walking away each time with something to ponder for power!!!

Térésa Scotland ,

So Powerful!

Straightforward wisdom, lovingly delivered. This is the type of messaging women really need, so we’re empowered to go everywhere we were told (and told ourselves) we couldn’t. Denise highlights so many inspiring women who show us what is possible when we truly embrace our power.

Chet.Pete ,

Must Listen!

If you want to be inspired, challenged, and hear new and fresh perspectives. This the podcast for you! I believe that regardless of your personal background this podcast will leave you refreshed and ready to take on the challenges life brings while embracing all its blessings as well!
