    Ep 203 - Women's 7 Most Common Career Frustrations & 3 Steps to Get Unstuck

    Frustration leads to inertia and anger and can derail your career.  As a Career & Leadership Coach, clients share their frustrations with me daily and I'm here today to let you know you aren't alone in feeling frustrated... and that there is plenty you can do to regain control. In today's episode, I am exploring 7 of the most common FRUSTRATIONS clients come to me with surrounding their careers. We are talking about: Not getting ahead, despite achieving great results (and working so hard)Not making the impact you want to (either down to a lack of support or resource; or lacking purpose etc)A Values Mismatch between you and other people, or you and your organisationConstantly changing goal posts and KPIsMiscommunication (or just poor communication)Lacking visibility and a platformNot backing yourself, doubt, and frustration at your own lack of perceived progress Something Rebecca said today: " Frustration really comes from a feeling of helplessness: feeling as if making things happen, or creating change, are just beyond your control. In this place, you're imagining a positive outcome that just isn’t forthcoming - certainly not fast enough to meet your expectations. And that frustration intensifies the longer you remain stuck right? Regaining control and getting unstuck needs to be your first priority but how do you do that?“ (Rebecca Allen, host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast) Links: Listen to Rebecca's interview with Catherine Kennedy, MD of people2people recruitment: The Cost of Career Procrastination And this related episode: Ep 183 – STOP Playing in the Weeds & START Being Strategic About Your CareerGet Rebecca's free download: The 7 Habits of Female Execs Who Get PromotedBook a free 15-minute Career Strategy Call with Rebecca and build your credibility and visibility as a leader Rate, Review, & Follow our Show on Apple Podcasts: Also, if you haven’t done so already, follow the podcast.

    Ep 202 - The Mental Impact of Sexism on Women

    Today I am exploring the concepts of traditional and subtle sexism, based on research conducted by psychologists Michelle K. Ryan and Miriam K. Zehnter, the emotional impact sexism has on women and the impact it has on them at work.   Have you ever been on the receiving end of a sexist comment, or behaviour? One that left you feeling humiliated, angry or feeling like you’ve nowhere to go? Has there been a longer term emotional impact on you too?  In today's episode, we are talking about: Defining what 'sexism' isTraditional sexismHostile sexismSubtle sexismBenevolent sexismSomething Rebecca said today: " In this essay, Ryan and Zehnter discuss the various forms of sexism, which is a very tricky societal mechanism to explain because it can be so incredibly subtle and yet so incredibly damaging, as they state: 'Sexism is no single thing , but rather a constellation of attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that reinforce patriarchal systems of gender inequality in society…. And are tools brought out to keep women and gender minority groups ‘in their place‘ and to reinforce the status quo.' “ (Rebecca Allen, host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast) Links: Listen to this related episode: Ep 192 – Know What Constitutes ‘Sexual Harassment’ at Work & The Action Victims Can Take, with guest Sarah CappelloAnd this: Ep 175 (Part 1 of 3) - 3 Major Systemic Barriers to Women’s Progression: The Culture BarrierGet Rebecca's free download: The 7 Habits of Female Execs Who Get PromotedBook a free 15-minute Career Strategy Call with Rebecca and build your credibility and visibility as a leaderGet your copy of 'Not Now, Not Ever', a series of essays edited by ex-Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard Rate, Review, & Follow our Show on Apple Podcasts: Also, if you haven’t done so already, follow the podcast.

    Ep 199 - Leadership Fundamentals (Part 3): Adaptability & Resilience

    Leadership isn't always about setting big picture strategy and chairing Town Hall meetings: it's also about taking leadership micro-steps and getting the basics right.  In today’s episode, we are talking about the fact that adaptability and emotional resilience will be some of the most vital skills leaders will need this decade. We are talking about: The core of adaptability: having clear and flexible expectationsSupporting yourself and your team emotionally through changeLearning how to be 'light on your feet' to pivot and adapt more readilyMaking it psychologically safe for you and your team to have 'human' experiences like doubt or fearAnd so much more...! Something Rebecca said today: " In her book The Gift of Change, Marianne Williamson says, “The speed of change today is faster than the human psyche seems able to handle” and talks to feelings of overwhelm as we reconcile our personal lives with everything else going on all around us such as non-stop technological advancements; a 24-hour news cycle (with ever more extreme stories); and the 24/7 demands too of social media. 21st century change is rapid. The question is: can humans keep up? Not just practically speaking, but emotionally too? And maybe, critically, does everyone want to?"  (Rebecca Allen, host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast) Links: Listen to: Leadership Fundamentals: Integrity & Self-Awareness (Part 1 of this 3-part series)Listen to: Leadership Fundamentals: Communication & Accountability (Part 2 of this 3-part series)Listen to: Ep 195 – The Top 5 Skills Employers Want Most This Decade Are Human-Centric Get Rebecca's free download: The 7 Habits of Female Execs Who Get PromotedBook a free 15-minute Career Strategy Call with Rebecca Rate, Review, & Follow our Show on Apple Podcasts: Also, if you haven’t done so already, follow the podcast.

As a leader, it's critical to be regularly reviewing how you're seeing and doing things. What is your impact on others? Are you behaving consistently? Are you building, or eroding trust?

    Ep 196 - How to Confidently Make That Critical Shift to Strategic Leader, with guest Chris Lamb

    Have you been told you 'need to be more strategic' but don't really know what that means, or how to deliver it? My guest today is Chris Lamb, an accomplished Chief People Officer and board director. He has worked at the most senior levels in the public and private sectors in Asia Pacific, European and global roles.   In this episode, Chris explains: How to make the shift from operational deliverer to strategic leaderWhat stops people from becoming more strategicThe critical value of getting a breadth of experiences in your career Overcoming any doubts you might have about stepping up and becoming more strategicAnd how developing your strategic acumen can start boosting the opportunities you enjoy professionally Something Chris said: "[When you start thinking more strategically...] Firstly, you get out of the mindset of just what's happening in your team and area. You start to think instead about how your team impacts the whole organisation. Secondly, you start to think about the challenges other parts of the business are experiencing, irrespective of whether or not you have any direct contact or influence over them."  (Chris Lamb, guest - Her Ambitious Career Podcast) Links: Need a speaker for your next Women in Leadership event?
