The year is 2277 and women have finally achieved pay equality.

Startling fact? Absolutely.

In fact, I would say that it is a stunning fact recognizing that in the last year, we have actually increased what was reported in the Global Gender Gap report of 2019. The year 2277 is actually 55 more years than estimated in the previous report.

As a high achiever in pursuit of fulfilling your executive ambitions, this topic deserves your unwavering attention for 3 reasons:     

1. ) be an informed voter 
2. ) be an informed and engaged employee
3. ) continuously develop your negotiation talents

I believe that high achieving professionals can achieve their executive ambitions when they create a plan for generating their inner-well of positivity. 

When you are working to advance your career within large organizations, challenging situations are commonplace.

A toxic colleague who seems to undermine your good work every chance they get.

A boss who plays favorites and seems to only issue praise to others on your team.

Or you may feel a general lack of respect for all that you do within your organization.

When situations like these arise, you want to know how to be the best version of you and generate the inner-well of positivity within you.

In today’s podcast, I am speaking with Laura Masters, Life Coach with AbunDance Enterprises who shares with me her professional wisdom on the science of positivity.

Consider this, if you are progressing on the typical timeline, by the time your 22 years old, you have officially launched your full-time career.

As you look ahead, you can expect to spend the next 40 years on your career journey. And in general, there is a significant possibility that you will have 10 different jobs during this time.

Whether prompted by some external factor that you have no control over or by a choice you make, how prepared are you to navigate this time of change?

What I have come to discover is that people generally hate the thought of looking for a job. 

It is uncomfortable. It’s filled with disappointment. It takes a great deal of time and you work in a ‘fog’ of not knowing when it all comes to an end by landing the next opportunity.

In today’s podcast, I am thrilled to speak with Kimberly...

Displaying confidence seems to be an unwritten rule for getting ahead within large organizations. Those we see as displaying a outgoing personality, head held high, and they know how to say all the right things at the right time. But, is this true? 

I believe that high-achieving professionals can achieve their executive ambitions by appropriately building and applying their confidence. 

Consider two perspectives: first from Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, Professor of business psychology at the University College London, and author of the book Confidence, and second from my experience coaching high achieving professionals. 

Professor Tomas describes two extremes of self-evaluation. On one end is overconfidence. On the other end is humility, and possibly even insecurity.

What I found particularly interesting in the book is the...

Today’s podcast is about the community and you.

As we have witnessed in recent weeks, people taking to the streets and amplifying calls for policy reform is just one example of how this generation of young people insist that change happens.

When deciding what company to work for, you place a premium on their social responsibility and expect that their values will be in alignment with your values.

In today’s podcast I interview Dwayne Bryant, CEO and Founder of Inner Vision International Inc. Recognized as an EBONY Power 100 2018 Honoree, Dwayne is a dynamic motivational speaker who is committed to empowering individuals to recognize their value as societal contributors and global citizens.

The corporate perspective on race is changing.

Have you, or someone you know, experienced the reality that the corporation where you worked somehow operated under a vail of inequity and unfairness? Those who were steadily advancing within the corporation looked different from you. 

If so, you are like the hundreds of clients I serve; high achieving women, people of color and LGBTQ people.

For more than 10 years now, I have provided executive coaching services to high-achievers who have worked hard to get the education and skills in pursuit of fulfilling their executive ambitions.

The parallel existence of two pandemics, one health and one racism, have shifted us into a state of disruption to what was once certain in our everyday life. 

 While in this disruptive state, many of us are searching for answers. Because somehow, someway having answers, whether good or bad, tends to reduce the anxiousness we feel when facing ambiguity.   

In today's podcast Uncertainty: Charting your Path to a New Normal, I am joined by Ampersand CEO and founder, my friend Holly O'Driscoll, who’s firm is a design thinking and human centered innovation strategy consultancy. 

Holly’s work focuses on how groups and teams maximize the diversity of their human capital and unleash the conditions for deriving solutions to complex problems for purposes of achieving business success.
