DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE IT TAKES TO SPEAK UP?

updated on

I’ve been contemplating how difficult it is to speak up and be heard as a woman and was pondering why. I did a little research on two women who found their voices and spoke up. I discovered that they both were able to do this despite some very intriguing circumstances. Let’s take a peek behind the curtain… Let’s begin with Eleanor Roosevelt. One of my favorite quotes from her is: “Speak your mind, even though your voice shakes.” When we think of Eleanor Roosevelt we think “Strong, Smart Woman;” after all she even has US stamps with her image on them. Yet everything …

ARE YOU THE ALPHA OR THE OMEGA IN YOUR CAREER?

updated on

Are you familiar with Alpha and Omega energies? If you are like me, perhaps you have ‘heard’ of it but may not know a whole lot about it. When I began to explore this topic – it blew my mind. In work life and in wildlife, there is a “status” and a pecking order whether we realize it or not. In the wild, whether it be wolves or lions or other packs of animals, there is an “Alpha” who is the leader of the pack. All the way at the end of the line there is an “Omega” who is …

BE AWARE OF YOUR THOUGHTS…THEY ARE A PREDICTION OF YOUR FUTURE

updated on

Did you know that when we have a thought; just a mere though in our minds, that we have already created it?  It already exists and it is our job to take action to bring it to fruition. Wallace Wattles in “The Science of Being Great” (which was written in 1910 – I find it fascinating that this was written over a 100 years ago and it is so simple) says, “If you desire a thing, picture it clearly and hold the picture steadily in the mind until it becomes a definite thought form…the thing you want will come to …

ARE YOU A POWERFUL FEMALE LEADER OR A MAN IN A SKIRT?

updated on

March is Women’s History Month. You probably want to stick a needle in my eye after reading the headline, but let me expand upon what I mean. I have spent nearly 20 years in the corporate landscape and what I have observed time and time again is that many women, when they step into a Leadership role, begin acting like a man. They make decisions like their male predecessors. They heartlessly restructure departments and entire companies; and they seem to be void of feelings. It is as if they checked their emotions at the door before entering the building. Shamefully, …

HOW BEING BANNED FROM TINDER (FOR LIFE!) BECAME A LESSON IN LEADERSHIP

updated on

Who knew that Sharon Stone and I would have so much in common? Back in December, 2019 Sharon Stone’s profile on the dating app, Bumble, was shut down due to reports of it being a fake. Just a few weeks prior, I had been on Tinder for fewer than 24 hours and was banned for LIFE. What?? At least Sharon got her profile back up and running again – no such luck for me. Tinder was never my “thing” – the profiles are too short and people have the attention span of a flea. But when I heard that my …

DITCH YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION AND DO THIS INSTEAD

updated on

It’s that time of year when people start to take stock of what they accomplished throughout the past year. Upon reflecting on the year, many realize that they didn’t achieve their goals and dreams for yet ANOTHER year. So, what happens? People will make the same or very similar New Year’s Resolutions year after year – which NEVER come to fruition. What is a New Year’s Resolution anyway? According to the Cambridge Dictionary it is a promise that you make to yourself to start doing something good or stop doing something bad on the first day of the year. And that usually lasts, how long? A week, a month, tops? …

TRANSITION FROM “PEOPLE PLEASER” TO “LEADER” IN 6 EASY STEPS

updated on

“If you want to make everyone happy don’t be a leader – Sell Ice Cream.” – Steve Jobs I love Steve Jobs and he wasn’t always liked – in fact the company he started fired him. He wasn’t portrayed as a very “nice” person in the movie about his life. So why do I like a person who wasn’t very nice? Well, he had courage and he was a Leader and he didn’t worry if people liked him or not. Lots of people love reading inspirational quotes and imagine themselves stepping into their leadership potential and being powerful. But making that …

YOUR SUPERPOWER IS YOUR GREATEST WEAKNESS

updated on

I used to think I had this really special skill. I had a Superpower, I could go Invisible – not literally but in a sense I could fade into the background and become the fly on the wall, the listener. I could take in everyone around me and know all their strengths and weaknesses while never revealing my own. I thought this was powerful. I thought: “I have a Superpower they don’t know about. I can do this thing. I can be Invisible.” While some of these aspects are good skills to possess, (like being an excellent listener) the overall …

10 Tips to Nail Your Job Interview

updated on

Enjoy my “expert” advice included in this article with OppLoans! Are you prepared for interviewers to throw you a curveball? Do you have questions of your own ready about the role and the company? How should you dress? Applying for jobs in 2019 is like sitting on a desert island, writing a message, putting that message into a bottle, and then throwing that bottle directly into a black hole. Unless you know someone who works at the company you’re applying to, you’re probably applying through some sort of online portal in exchange for an automated confirmation email. Odds are you’ll …
