Although corporate America suits my personality quite well, I’m not a fan of the masculine approach. It shows up in so many obvious and subtle ways that for many it becomes too much and they exit out. From dealing with the good old boys’ club, having to dress and show up in certain ways, and working in a boring and stuffy environment, it’s easy to question whether the sacrifices are worth it. In today’s episode, I’m exploring ideas of how to shake things up, push boundaries, and start to make corporate America more enjoyable for everyone. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: Why it’s so hard for many of us to show up as our authentic selves in corporate environments How working in Biglaw affected my own identity and sense of self – and what happened when I left that environment The main reasons we water down who we really are in the workplace and the mindset that’s holding us back How adopting an unCorporate Manifesto can help reclaim what corporate America looks like so it’s more equal and enjoyable

If you’re a woman or minority, you’ve probably been added to a pitch team at the last minute. Whether expressly stated, you know you’ve been brought in as the “diversity add.” While you might be grateful for the opportunity, it’s difficult to stand out and shine when you’re given less time to prepare and not included in developing the initial strategy. In today’s episode, I’m sharing my best tips on how to handle these situations. Things you will learn in this episode: • Practical tips for making the most of an opportunity even when you’re a “diversity add” • Ways to be proactive so you can gain pitch opportunities as an integral part of the team (rather than as a token member) • How to communicate your expectations, and options to consider if you don’t get what you need • Why you need to be in control of your career and decide what’s best for you This episode was inspired by a listener question. You know who you are – thank you for reaching out! If you have a question or topic that you’d like me to consider

We often talk about the fear of failure, but we rarely consider the fear of success, which can be just as paralyzing. When a podcast listener asked if I’d address this, I wanted to know more. She shared that she’s been using the Life & Law PlannerTM and is now on track to reach her goals. Which is great, right? But the thought of reaching her goals is scaring her.

Things you’ll learn in this episode: • Why we feel uncomfortable with too much happiness and success and start to assume something bad is about to happen • What it means to hit an upper limit and the ways in which we self-sabotage our growth • How success can create tension in our relationships or otherwise require us to show up in a new way • What to do when you feel fear and anxiety related to your growth and success potential LINKS: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks Year Of Yes by Shonda Rhimes Alter Ego Effect by Todd Herman Episode #1 of Hustle and
