What if instead of feeling guilty about self-investment and self-care, we reframe the decision as, 'self-care and self investment is necessary and vital for me and my loved ones.' And what if we owned this, 'learning to advocate for ourselves and confidently spending on our growth is the building block for self-worth.' And then started investing in ourselves. Would we feel worthy? Powerful even? And what if shared our stories? Of self-investment. Of growth. Of success. Hearing stories from people who have successfully invested in themselves can empower countless others. Would those 'others' then have the necessary horsepower to overcome the reluctance to prioritize themselves? And could we then create a ripple effect? Impact thousands? A generation? and then another? Let's start today! Tune in to get some actionable tips.

"What if I'm not as effective in a different company culture?" "I might not have the same level of authority or respect elsewhere." "I might not find a team as good as the one I currently have." These are common things I have heard executive women say, when they are stuck in a unfulfilling role.  If this is you, it's possible that social or corporate programming is preventing you from taking action. Listen to this episode to learn more about the common beliefs that keep us stagnant. And here's your reminder service - if you are stuck in stagnation, try reframing - here are some ideas "I am adaptable and can succeed anywhere I go." "Every new environment is a chance to grow professionally and personally." "I'm excited to bring my expertise to new teams and projects." Sometimes, taking small steps can lead to big, empowering moments. Making that change we fear so much can actually lead to fulfillment, inspiration and empowerment.   Brand confidently on LinkedIn: Free Linkedin Profile Optimization Secure an extra $10,000 - $50,000 in yearly compensation with this free training!  Salary Negotiation Training (It's Free!)

I am talking to the wonderful Kim Nicol in this episode. Kim is a life coach, mindfulness teacher, and host of The New Manager Podcast. We focus on providing practical tips for self-advocacy and speaking up for oneself. Speaking up for yourself or self-advocacy is a muscle we must develop in order to negotiate for our worth. So, our call to action is this - use every opportunity to practice this muscle.  Need a home office allowance? Ask.  Participate in volunteer work? Ask.  Want to be part of a high visibility project? Ask. Equally important in advocating for yourself is the courage and ability to say "no." While many of us are aware of this, very few of us have the practice of saying 'no.' We often get inundated with to-do lists that end up blockading our progress.  Until we master these skills, we will continue to under-earn. Tune into this episode for some actionable tips that can make a real difference. Enjoy! Links: If you want to ask for a pay raise, use this script. (It's Free!).
