Tune in to learn a different way, and how you can ACTUALLY speed up the time it will take to secure that next big promotion or pay raise you want at work!

The difference between a $10k and a $100k career

Are you stuck in a $10k career, wondering how to break through to the next level? In this episode, we explore the difference between a $10k and a $100k career and the mindset shift required to make the leap.

4 years ago, I had no idea that making $100k was possible - and not just possible, but something that I could do and help other women achieve!

Join me in this episode as I talk about

• How to overcome limiting beliefs that may be holding you back. It's so much more than just becoming more visible or having a chat with your boss about your pay...
• How to stop saying yes to everything and start standing out, and
• The importance of embracing your authentic self to unlock your full potential.

If you're ready to take your career to the next level, tune in now!

How to step into your cultural power as a black woman at work

Do you see your culture as a liability or an asset when it comes to climbing the corporate ladder?

It takes courage to embrace your cultural identity, especially in workplaces where you can't see people in leadership who look like you.

I only recently started to say my full name out loud in meetings for fear of the immediate biases it would trigger...

But when I stepped into my true self and embraced that this was part of who I was bringing to the table, I felt so liberated, and it reflected in my confidence and the perception others had of me.

And even though I had to deal with the biases of being black, wearing my God-given hair or speaking English in my African accent, I found people who wanted to support black women like me at work.

 

In this episode you will learn about:

• The consequences of not being authentic at work
• The importance of owning your cultural identity and educating others about
• The role your cultural identity plays in the personal brand and allies you can create
• What to do when someone labels you as the token diversity hire

From Someday to Now: Closing the gap between your thoughts, feelings and actions

If you are a frequent listener, by now you have been inspired to start thinking and dreaming big. But those big goals can often create gaps - gaps that you didn't even know existed.

 

In this episode, which is straight out of a Monday Mindset Session from the Elevate Collective, we discuss the importance of aligning your mindset with the feelings you would have if you achieved the goal.

 

I am a big believer that you are never alone in the process of creating your goals, and so I share my experience of the power of co-creation and leaning on your higher power for inspiration and intuition to take the next step toward your career goal.

 

If you have the book, listen to Think and GRow Rich - chapters 3 & 4 after listening to the episode.

3 Ways To Powerfully Lean Into Your Introvert Strengths As A Leader At Work

When you’re an introvert navigating the corporate world, it can be easy to feel as though your introversion is a weakness.

People constantly say that to be seen as a leader, you need to start speaking up more. You need to take charge. But when you’re an introvert, these things simply don’t come easily to you…and it can quickly begin to feel like leadership is entirely out of reach.

Luckily, this isn’t true.

I’m a leadership coach. My job is to teach people how to be great leaders…and guess what? I’m a proud member of the introvert club.

Introversion is not a weakness…in fact, it comes with many strengths that lend themselves well to leadership, if you let yourself lean into them. And I’m here today to tell you how.

5 Powerful Ways to Shamelessly Self-Promote at Work

I had a big misconception about shameless self-promotion when I was first beginning my career. And today I'm sharing what I learned, how to use self-promotion to advance your own career, and what that actually looks like in the workplace. 

I'm excited to be sharing a recording from my Elevate Live Wednesday show. I go live and interact and talk about topics on LinkedIn and Instagram to be able to really connect with the audience. And this topic was too good not to share!

Becoming The Designer of Your Financial Future ft. Tsitsi Mutiti

I am thrilled to welcome a new guest onto the podcast this week–please welcome Tsitsi Mutiti, a Wealth Coach, award-winning Investment Manager, and Insuring Women’s Futures Ambassador, as well as the host of The Wealth Conversation Podcast. 

If you’re anything like me and Tsitsi, you might not have had in-depth financial conversations with your parents. You might not be thinking past the “now” of your financial situation, but it’s important to shift that outlook…which is why Tsitsi openly shares her personal journey of overcoming debt and financial fear so she could redesign her financial future. 

As much as we like to pretend we’re invincible, we need to think about what happens AFTER us if we want to begin to build generational wealth.Tsitsi and I decided to have that hard conversation…and to share it with you.

Radical Goals, Radical Results

When we grow up, we have a bad habit of setting aside ALL childish things…even the things that would serve us in our careers.

As children, we set goals without concern for reason, limitation, or achievability. When we set goals, we set them without worrying about the “odds” of us being able to complete them. 

As adults, we tend to lose that ability to dream without limits…and we need to find a way to change that.

It’s time to give yourself permission to set radical goals for yourself, because that is the only way you will reach incredible heights in your career. 

If you missed out on joining the Elevate Collective, good news–even though our doors are now closed until July, I’m giving you an inside look at one of our coaching calls in this episode of elevateHER!

Setting Goals With Intention: A Discussion Between Career Coaches

A couple weeks ago, in Episode 72 of elevateHER, I talked about setting good goals for the year. This week, I’ve invited a guest on the podcast to talk a little more about how to set goals with intention as you’re going through a transitionary period. 

Please welcome Audrey Kusambiza Bolo, who works with clients navigating change and transition, needing to make big, bold decisions in the pursuit of balance, clarity, passion, or purpose. Her mission is to support people to make decisions aligned with their truth, and I cannot wait for you all to hear what she has to say.

Intention is everything if you want to set goals you’ll actually achieve. Excitement is good, but it fades over time…and you need something more permanent to fuel yourself through your next transition!
