In this episode, let's take a peek at a topic that's both challenging and crucial in our careers: adapting to change in client partnerships.
We often view our work as building lasting relationships, but the dynamic nature of business means changes are inevitable. I share my personal experiences, including ending a contract with a long-term client for growth, and dealing with the sudden sale of another client's business.
These stories aren't just about dealing with loss and uncertainty; they're about embracing change as an opportunity for professional and personal development.This episode is packed with practical advice on staying informed, diversifying skills, and building a financial cushion to navigate these transitions smoothly.
Plus, I'll give you a sneak peek into my exciting new project with thought leaders, showcasing how change can lead to thrilling new opportunities.
Join me as we explore how to 'woman up' and turn these challenging moments into stepping stones for growth and success. Let's embrace change together and thrive in our ever-evolving journey! -
In this episode, I'm exploring a realm that many of us find daunting: the art of negotiation. Inspired by the game-changing insights from "Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss and Tahl Raz, I share my transformation from someone who shied away from negotiation to someone who embraces it as a powerful tool for personal and professional growth.
This episode isn't just about striking deals; it's about reshaping our approach to communication, empathy, and understanding in our professional journeys. If you're eager to turn your negotiation challenges into opportunities for discovery and meaningful connections, this is one episode you won't want to miss!
