    307 | How to get buy-in from your stakeholders (persuasive assertiveness 101)

    As you transition into leadership, you’ll be expected to get things done without necessarily doing them yourself.  This means your persuasion skills will have to be really top-notch so you can create impact by influencing others to support and buy into your ideas.  The good news is, you don’t need to be super aggressive or inauthentic to get good at this, and in today’s episode, I’m showing you how to get buy-in for your ideas WITHOUT being forceful or domineering.  In this episode, I’ll teach you one of my signature frameworks that’ll help you persuade in a way that’s graceful and classy (but also highly effective).

    304 | How to get credit for your work so you can get recognized + promoted

    Success in Corporate America is NOT just about hard work - it’s also about being strategic in the way you communicate the value of the work you do.  The more skilled you are at selling yourself, your work, and the impact you’re creating, the more people will see you as a leader.  If you feel like you’re at a plateau and people aren’t recognizing the impact you’re having, today’s episode is for you.  I’ll help you understand why this is happening, and most importantly, what steps you can take to undo this pattern and build a powerful reputation that gets you noticed and promoted.

    303 | Getting past the fear of doing your job “wrong”

    303 | Getting past the fear of doing your job “wrong”

    If you’re someone who cares deeply about doing your job right, today’s episode is for you.  Sometimes in our quest to do our job “correctly,” we unintentionally spend a lot of time overthinking every little decision.  This can slow down our execution and make it difficult for us to lead effectively.  In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful reframe that’ll help you stop trying to do things the “correct” way, and start focusing instead on being a LEADER (which is much less about doing it “right” and much more about just having the courage to DO it, period!)
     
    My hope is that this episode will inspire to leave behind perfectionism and replace it with unapologetic confidence in your leadership, execution, & decision-making.
