  • Does your imposter 'voice' stop you from being as successful (and happy) as you could be? What if, you welcomed those thoughts in - would it actually make you a more effective leader?

    In this ep I am talking about...

    - What’s keeping you stuck in your career and locked in a cycle of self-doubt, constantly feeling like you’re less talented than other people

    - The ONE new strategy to help you sidestep your limiting thoughts so you can finally step up in your career

    - 3 questions to help you shift your mindset away from feeling 'not good enough'... to help you fully recognise your own value

    Here's something valuable I said today:

    "Imposter thoughts step in to shield you from making a mistake. You might subconsciously be saying to yourself, "If I don’t speak up, then I can’t be ridiculed", or "If I don’t go for the opportunity, then I can’t fail" and although you might really loathe talking to yourself this way, having that balanced perspective - where you don't believe you know everything - can actually make you a more insightful leader."

  • Are you overworked but still not getting the recognition you want?

    In this ep I am sharing:

    - What’s keeping you stuck in the cycle of 'just working harder' (and losing self-confidence as you go)

    - The ONE new strategy that will help you become more strategic about your career

    - 3 questions to help you step up your game and get the recognition you deserve

    If you’re ready to show up as you really intend... and get more strategic about your career... and be CONFIDENT in your impact...

    This is the episode for you!

    Here's something valuable I said today:

    "Just working harder is no strategy. If you're delivering great results, but not getting the recognition, you probably think the solution is just to work harder. But let me guess.... just delivering more GREAT results.... isn't a solution. Certainly not a solution that will help you create new opportunities in your career (or get the recognition you deserve)." (Rebecca Allen, host Her Ambitious Career)

  • Today we are talking about creating balance in your relaxed state (Yin) and active state (Yang), with my guest Olivia Shurdova. Join us!

    This is a really insightful discussion about energy, how easy it is to over-extend yourself and how to find the balance:

    Today we are learning that whilst your Yin energies are cooling, passive, contemplative and dark, Yang is active and about light and warming the bodyWe see this balance in everything around us in natureYin and Yang can both deplete us AND fill us up!When depleting us, 'False' Yin would make you feel stuck, heavy, fearful and insecure whilst 'False' Yang can lead to aggressiveness or narcissism


    Olivia says:

    "Part of Yin and Yang is to go with your challenges: yin is about being adaptable and yang is about being creative. You need both together to support you and fuel the demands you place on yourself." (Olivia Shurdova, guest on Her Ambitious Career podcast)

  • A network is only as good as your ability to do the networking. What's really stopping you from having a really powerful network?

    00:00
    Let's talk about the fears that are stopping you from networking more effectively.

    07:00
    I explore the 3 myths of building a powerful network:

    Myth 1: For my network to be valuable, it needs to be big

    Myth 2: For my network to be valuable, my network needs to full of A-lister C-suite types

    Myth 3: For my network to be valuable, I need to have been more proactive and have been in touch with them recently

    If you're putting this kind of pressure on yourself, it's probably not surprising you're finding building a powerful network hard...

    Let me help you learn how to build a network around you much more easily.



    Here's something valuable I said today:

    "If you're doubting if you know what that steps need to be to reach out to the influential people in your network, you're in the right place!" (Rebecca Allen, host Her Ambitious Career)

  • Here’s how you can sharpen up your strategic thinking to elevate your positioning in your organisation

    Today, in this latest 'shorty' episode, we’re talking about the 3 steps you can take, right now, to become a more strategic thinker.

    It's no value to you being pigeonholed as an operational player in your org if you are ready to stretch beyond it.

    Thinking more strategically is the start and then sharing that thinking, with real conviction and confidence, will help you build instant credibility as a leader.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    · 02:05 Must Do #1 Think about the objectives of your organisation and talk to those objectives all the time
    · 02:45 Must Do #2 Think critically about our current processes and do we have the resources to do it
    · 03:15 Must Do #3 How to be more strategic in the moment... here's my secret sauce! Say you're in a meeting and want to bring everyone back to the big picture... help people get out of the operational detail by posing the meeting with the question, "Why?".

    In longer form: "Why are we meeting here right now?"; "What is the purpose of this team? Or organisation?!" "What is the purpose of this project?"

    Building your brand and credibility rely a lot on sharing your strategic thinking... how could you be more strategic today?

    What's the cost to you right now... by avoiding having this conversation?

    Does it cost your career?

    Here's something valuable I said today:

    "There are a few reasons people avoid having difficult conversations: the #1 reason is FEAR. What could go wrong if I challenge them? What will the repercussions on me be? How might they judge me? If you work out how to overcome your fear, a lot of these issues evaporate." (Rebecca Allen, host Her Ambitious Career)
