How can you reclaim your power in a job that's just “good enough”?It turns out The Perfect Job isn't nearly as common as the LinkedIn posts would have us believe. Most of us spend our working hours in a job that's okay but far from perfect. The good news is that you can thrive in a just-okay career if you embrace the art of “leading yourself.” In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Lotardo to talk about this very concept, which doubles as the title of her new book, Leading Yourself. Elizabeth has spent years helping people at all different stages of their careers discover the potential that awaits when they stop pursuing perfection and begin taking charge of the job they're already in.Learn to maximize the job you already have by uncovering:The reason we feel like we're failing if we aren't holding out for the perfect job;Why it can be empowering to “give up on the dream” of getting a paycheck from our passionHow small changes in your day-to-day can make a huge difference;And when you might need to phone it in before you fall apart.Related Links:Leading Yourself: Find More Joy, Meaning, and Opportunities in the Job You Already Have (Despite Imperfect Bosses, Weird Economies, Lethargic Coworkers, Annoying Systems, and Too Many Deliverables) - https://bookshop.org/p/books/leading-yourself-elizabeth-lotardo/20999467?ean=9781394238705&next=tElizabeth's website - https://www.elizabethlotardo.com/Follow Elizabeth on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethlotardoDrop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less by Tiffany Dufu - https://bookshop.org/p/books/drop-the-ball-achieving-more-by-doing-less-tiffany-dufu/8440970LEVEL UP: a Leadership Accelerator for Women on the Rise - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

This is the second episode of a two part series where I'm sharing the top 13 self-leadership books that have changed my life and the trajectory of my business. If you haven't already, go back and listen to last week's episode! It's linked below. Now, I talk about this a lot, but as coaches who are truly committed to our own craft, we can only go and grow with clients to the degree that we are willing to evolve with ourselves first. I understand that if I haven't had an insight or a breakthrough in my own personal journey in a specific area, then I will never see or be able to reflect that same gap in a client. In this episode, I'm sharing some of the top books that have helped me unlock new insights, deeper learnings and levels of self awareness and spiritual development in the realm of relationships, overcoming resistance, and money mindset. Again, if you pick up one of these books, I'd love to hear from you! I truly believe that these books have the possibility to change your life, and I hope you enjoy them.    Topics: The reminder that it doesn't require anyone else in our lives to be different in order for us to create a different experience of life Why shifting your relationship to habits is the number one key that will support you in creating consistency and other lessons from Atomic Habits  Learning to recognize the synchronicities and similarities of your desires and how they are aligned to connect the why with the want using insights from Worthy Knowing that we continually upper limit when we're committed to our own growth and how to overcome them using resources from The Big Leap Why The Four Agreements is one of Catherine's favorite, most highly recommended books and the importance of not taking everything and everyone so darn personally  How Drop the Ball teaches us to (re)design the partnership/marriage that we want, that works for both parties  The necessity of tuning into your body's knowing and internal wisdom to increase trust in yourself for easier decision making from The Body Keeps the Score How Living Nonviolent Communication shows us that we have to first connect with ourselves and our own tragically unmet needs to create authentic intimacy in our relationships   Episode Resources: Listen: 13 Self-Leadership Books that Changed My Life (Part 1) Listen: Dreaming and Manifesting for Sensitive Empaths Living in a Loud World Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear Worthy: Boost Your Self-Worth to Grow Your Net Worth by Nancy Levin The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay Hendricks The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less by Tiffany Dufu The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. Living Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg   Connect with Catherine: Apply to join the free Unbounded community, a vibrant group of empathpreneurs who are passionate about supporting each other on our entrepreneurial journeys.  Website LinkedIn Instagram YouTube Sign up to receive my weekly digest on empathic entrepreneurship and hear from voices committed to spreading this message, sent straight to your inbox every Friday since 2016, here.    Work with Catherine: Interested in working 1:1 with a certified coach on Catherine's team, or joining her in one of her premium mastermind programs?

Denise Woodard is the Founder and CEO of Partake Foods, the allergy-friendly company that was inspired by her daughter's experience with food allergies.   Created in 2016, Denise started the business by self-distributing (selling cookies out of her car around NYC) and self-funding (depleting her 401K and selling her engagement ring). To date, the company has raised more than $20M from investors including HER, Rihanna, Circle Up Growth Partners, FF2032 and Marcy Venture Partners (Jay-Z's venture capital firm).   Partake was named #45 on the Inc 5000 list in 2022. Denise was the first Black woman to raise more than $1 Million publicly for a CPG food startup.   As a Black woman, Denise is passionate about raising awareness of Black and female entrepreneurship and increasing opportunities for underrepresented people seeking careers in the food and beverage industry. In 2020, Denise founded Black Futures in Food & Beverage, an annual fellowship program that mentors HBCU students and helps them secure internships and jobs at the program's end.   Prior to launching Partake, Denise spent a decade in consumer-packaged goods at various Fortune 100 companies. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Jeremy, and daughter, Vivienne. She graduated with her BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and an MBA from Arizona State University. In this episode of Takin' Care of Lady Business®, Jennifer Justice interviews Tiffany Dufu, the founder and CEO of The Cru. They discuss the importance of community and sharing knowledge among women in business and in life. Tiffany explains her mission to advance women and girls and introduces The Cru, a platform that matches women in accountability circles to help them achieve their life goals.

Quotes: “It took a long time to build the relationship, and I think that's something that I've learned across my corporate career, but that's also served me well in this role… And so just having patience and remaining consistent has been such a constant theme.” – Denise Woodward “I try not to speak in the jargon, but I catch myself doing it and I think it's one of those mechanisms that makes people feel like they don't belong or that it's so complicated and none of it's like rocket science.” – Denise Woodward “We're really focused on doing good in the world, particularly around eradicating childhood food insecurity and increasing diversity in the food industry.” – Denise Woodward   This episode is sponsored by Medjet.

Are you the “default parent”? Do you find you feel guilty for taking time for yourself away from the kids? Are you struggling with the invisible load in motherhood? My guest, Amy Kiefer, joins me in this week's episode as we discuss the emotional, mental and physical labor it takes to keep a family and household. Amy Kiefer's purpose in life is simple yet transformative — to help and empower others. A multi-passionate entrepreneur, small business owner, and mom of three, she got her start by launching a blog and later developing the pregnancy and postpartum workout app, Expecting and Empowered.  In her mission to give women the confidence and care they deserve, Amy has since gone on to create numerous outlets for her purpose-driven mindset. Drawing from her exercise science education, a nursing career in oncology, and her daily challenges as a mom, her endeavors have grown into a vibrant and supportive community – prompting the collaborative development of Amy's two other online businesses: Pursuing Her Purpose and the top-rated HERself Podcast, with over 2.5 million downloads. Acclaimed for empowering women through some of their most difficult seasons, Amy is proud to help her community move past stress, guilt, and common obstacles to lead happier, healthier lives that are more aligned with their dreams.Amy provides resources as well as practical tips that will challenge and encourage you to ask yourself how you can make visible some of your load.

We've been told too many times that the goal of motherhood is to be a superwoman—to juggle all the things, and to do it with a smile. But the more we expect ourselves to reach that impossibility, the more we set ourselves up for failure. So maybe instead of trying to be perfect in every area, we need to change our expectations. In today's throwback episode, Tiffany Dufu gives us a hall pass to drop a ball, or two, or three, in order to make us more productive and fulfilled.

In our 172nd episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Naomi. Naomi is a postpartum doula and she talks to us all about returning to work after having bub and how to make the transition that little bit easier. We hope you enjoy!!! How can we be motivated to go back to work when over half our salary is going to go straight towards childcare?  Currently what are parents entitled to in terms of maternity and paternity leave after having a baby? If you were working full time before you went on maternity leave but after 12 months you decide to go back part time, is the employer obliged to accept that or not? What are ways to make a workplace more flexible? What are some examples of things we can request? How to have those discussions and set those boundaries so that part time is actually part time? Returning to work and being ignored for promotions while others that are less qualified and experienced are moving up the ranks! What to do? What happens if you're returning to work but want to have another baby soon? If we are in the position to choose when to go back to work, how do we know when is the right time? How do we find passion in our work when all we want to do is be home with our kid/s? How do we juggle the mental load when returning to work? Tips for getting out of the house in the mornings? How to deal with mum guilt when returning to work? How do we navigate pumping and/or feeding when returning to work?  How on earth can we get a job done when we're constantly having to pick up our sick kid/s from daycare? If we feel like we have baby brain/brain fog, how on earth do we return to work?

How can we elevate women by connecting and engaging with each other and holding ourselves accountable to our intentions? How can companies who want to attract and retain top talent do the same? I had a great time talking with my guest today, Tiffany Dufu, about her mission to support and elevate women. Tiffany shares her personal story and the mantra her mother used to tell her every day that she hopes to whisper into other women's ears. We discuss The Cru's mission and business model - and how they help women and companies achieve success through support, connection, and accountability. We also talk about why connection is so important to achieving goals (what The Cru calls intentions) and why empathy ensures successful engagement.Tiffany shares how the pandemic has affected women's career goals and why employers and leaders need to understand this new reality and respond accordingly. And she shares 3 tips for connecting across diverse backgrounds that could transform the way your teams get work done. Key Takeaways:If you want something you've never had before, you have to do something you've never done before. Women in the middle (whatever middle means for you in your life) tend to be looking for meaning, advancement, and integration. Limiting choices for women also limits choices for men, which then also trickles down and affects the children in the home. The intention of “finding a new job” doesn't mean leaving an organization. Leaders and employers need to bet on their teams, especially their women, and make clear the opportunities that they have in the organization, within and without their teams.  "We are the most powerful change agents in our own journey." —  Tiffany Dufu  About Tiffany Dufu, Founder & CEO, The CruTiffany Dufu is founder and CEO of The Cru.

As I shared in last week's solo episode, Free Time isn't about time management or productivity, or even simply doing work more efficiently. It is about setting time free.  If our time is trapped like a bird in a cage, unless we break free of shoulds and obligations, there it will remain. We achieve this through smarter systems, and that includes getting better at saying no.  My own tendency to say yes — in an effort to be liked, to please others, to be accommodating, or even to continue trying to “do right” by my work in promoting it — leads to burnout and resentment when to many “yeses” create time confetti and tiredness. In this episode, I'm sharing strategies that I've picked up along the way for doing the very hard thing of disappointing others by saying no. 

As I share in Free Time, nowhere is entropy more visually evident than in older homes or ones in nature. I remember staying at a cabin in the Catskills, where I could see right before my eyes all forms of plants and animals encroaching on the once-pristine house.  Without upkeep, a dead tree teetered precariously toward the roof, weeds started overtaking the grass, spiders made themselves comfortable in bathroom corners, giant carpenter ants traversed the kitchen counters, and we spotted a garden snake crawling into the crevices of the outdoor hot tub. Entropy, defined as a gradual decline into disorder, is intrinsic to all organic systems, and it's happening in your business, too. In this episode, I'm talking about entropic bloat and why we need to actively decide to do less, giving our business regular “haircuts” along the way.

For as long as there has been a world, men have ruled it. I am going to just say this, without apology, ‘how is that working out for us so far?'To kick off the New Year, we aren't going to be talking about resolutions, sticking to your goals or creating a plan. We aren't going to be talking about word of the year or how to pick your North Star.Instead, we are kicking off the very first episode of 2023 differently. Listen up as we explore the world, how it is today and what it could look like if women, or shall I say, Gen X Woman, ruled the world. Are you underpaid? Is your lack of visibility hurting your ability to ask for the money you deserve? You can now stand out, be seen and unapologetically ask for what you're worth. Save your spot for our free Self Promote + Negotiate Webinar. It's happening on Tuesday, January 17 at 1pm EST. Go to www.moderngenxwoman.com/negotiation In this episode we're talking about…Why retrofitting the world of work from women doesn't work How responsibilities would really be equally divided at home and women wouldn't have to be the spine of the family How the professional world would benefitStudies show women-run businesses outperform male-run businesses Companies run by women tend to be 25% more profitableMore equality, emotional intelligence and what the ripple effect could look like How products and the way things are designed would change What operating on a more feminine cycle could look like What can we imagine would change if women were the ones calling the shots? Would midlife be midlife? Would we need to redefine aging? Would we redefine 50? Such a fun topic. Mentioned in this episode: Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less by Tiffany Dufu Episode: 91I don't want to work for a woman Are you a Modern Gen X Woman?

Jon Kabat Zinn says, "Overwhelm means life is unfolding at a rate that neither my psyche or my nervous system can handle.” Sometimes life (and work) is like a yummy buffet: it all looks delicious, but our eyes are bigger than our stomach. Today I'm sharing a few reasons our perceived capacity can be misaligned with our actual capacity: invisible roles, poor role fit, taking on new exciting projects without first cutting back elsewhere, and broader contextual seasons and collective influences.

As important as it is to strive for work-life balance, the act of trying to achieve that can get you into a toxic trap of scarcity (especially if you try to constantly "check-out" between those hours of 9-5).Yikes!

She helps rein us in, providing check-in points to see if we're actually getting what we need out of our professional and personal relationships.

On this re-released episode, we talk about a slightly controversial topic, namely, the value of a wife. Lately we've read several articles about the benefits for husbands to have a wife at home or at least in a position where she is still primarily responsible for childcare and the emotional labor that takes place in families. As feminists and entrepreneurs, we felt that it was important to invite this conversation into our community because there still is not enough change happening in this area. Don't you also need a wife, someone to take care of all the details and homework so that you can focus on your career and on building your business? The first article we're discussing is “70% of Top Male Earners in the US Have a Spouse Who Stays Home”. Another article we'd like to talk about is titled “What ‘Good' Dads Get Away With”, which is the other side of the coin. You might have a husband who does a lot more than most husbands and fathers, yet you still find yourself being the primary caretaker and filling in all the gaps in your family's day-to-day life. Either way, women are still marginalized by gender roles and these seem to be emphasized when we become mothers. This conversation affects almost all of us and it has to be acknowledged that it is still largely an unequal playing field. Something's got to change!Here's a peek at what else you can expect: Examples of the silent labor we as women do that we're not always aware of.  How men still have a higher earning capacity in the existing economic structures.    Women's level of education and ambition take a back seat in modern-day society.  The unequal playing field where men have a different set of opportunities than women.  The double pressure on women to be home with the kids while also doing a job.  Why many women choose to hold back on their own ideals.  The gender pay gap as a root cause of women staying home with the kids.  Drop the Ball and what women can do to change the patterns of unequal burden. Why women often don't ask for help. Buying your way out of these part-time family responsibilities as a possible solution. And much more!Resources 70% of Top Male Earners in the US Have a Spouse Who Stays Home What ‘Good' Dads Get Away With Tiffany Dufu's Website Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less by Tiffany Dufu Soma System This week's Joy: Soma System, a tool for stressed-out moms.This week's Hustle: 70% of Top Male Earners in the US Have a Spouse Who Stays Home and What ‘Good' Dads Get Away WithThis podcast is brought to you by the Marvelous online teaching platform.Marvelous is an easy-to-use platform that helps you build and sell your own courses memberships and live-streamed programs.

Figure out what matters most to you and let go of the rest. EPISODE NOTES Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by all of the things you need to juggle in order to be a good... anything? A good partner, a good parent, a good worker, a good friend? And in the end, it feels like you never have enough time and energy to focus on what really matters to YOU? In this final episode of Season 7, Tiffany Dufu invites you to stop being "good" and drop the ball. Tiffany is the author of Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less https://www.blinkist.com/en/nc/browse/books/drop-the-ball-en [1], and for her, dropping the ball means letting go of unrealistic expectations of doing it all, and engaging others in the process, so that you can live a life that you're passionate about. Tiffany explains the repercussions of juggling too much, helps you find out why all these balls ended up in your hands in the first place, and finally, how to know what you can start to let go of. She also talks about the importance of having people in your life who hold you accountable for living your best life and being your best self—an idea she's bringing to life in her project The Cru https://www.thecru.com/ [2].

In episode 86 of the podcast, I share the recording of my conversation with the author of our March #WorkYourPlan book club selection, Jo Saxton. Jo Saxton is an author, speaker, podcast host, and leadership coach. She has dedicated her career to growing leadership teams around the world and empowering women to find their purpose in their personal lives and in leadership. Born in London to parents who immigrated from Nigeria, Jo credits her family’s unrelenting work ethic and the grace of God for the bold, tenacious approach she takes to sharing her wisdom on identity, influence, and living an authentic life. She is characterized by her effervescent honesty and warm approachability, leaving audiences with practical next steps in areas that are usually a bit ambiguous. In addition to work as an author, Jo has also spearheaded an initiative aimed to help women grow their leadership skills.  Jo lives in Minneapolis with her husband, Chris, and their two daughters. Jo's book, Ready to Rise, is one of the few I've seen that addresses the intersection of your identity as a leader, a Black woman and a Christian and provides a Biblical context for talking about leadership and calling. **** Show Notes Keep up with Jo: Watch the video of our conversation on Facebook @JoSaxton on Instagram JoSaxton.com *** Have you ever dropped the ball? I want to invite you to join me for the #WorkYourPlan Book Club. For May I wanted a book that speaks to the pressure moms and women, in general, feel to do it all. So, we are reading Tiffany Dufu’s book, Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less, as our May book selection. I often joke that this book should be in the marriage and family section of the book store, rather than the business section. In Drop the Ball, Tiffany shows women how to cultivate the single skill they really need in order to thrive: the ability to let go. She recounts how she learned to reevaluate expectations, shrink her to-do list, and meaningfully engage the assistance of others - freeing the space she needed to flourish at work and to develop deeper, more meaningful relationships at home. Did you know? Even though women are half the workforce, they still represent only 18 percent of the highest level leaders. The reasons are obvious: Just as women reach middle management, they are also starting families. Mounting responsibilities at work and home leave them with no bandwidth to do what will most lead to their success. Drop the Ball urges women to embrace imperfection and to expect less of themselves and more from others - only then can they focus on what they truly care about, devote the necessary energy to achieving their real goals, and create the type of rich, rewarding life we all desire.

To minimize the possibility of offense when engaging in a courageous conversation: Pray in advance so that you have God's wisdom and his heart for the interaction. State the facts first. Then share your story (how it impacted you; FYI your story is not a fact. It’s how you see it.) Now switch to listening. Ask for their perspective. Remember the reason/purpose for the conversation. Your goal is not to convince, compel or control. You want to move towards understanding and accountability. *** Mentioned in this episode: Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan and Al Switzler *** Have you ever dropped the ball?

In this Women In Technology interview, I sit down with Marchelle Klippenstein where we discuss her journey to becoming Vice President of Customer Improvement at SAP Concur. Marchelle shares some amazing advice and career tips along the way! About Marchelle: Marchelle Klippenstein is a 10 year SAP Concur veteran, moving from the Retail space as a Concur customer prior. She's a valuable experience-focused leader, supporting the next generation of selling motions in technology. Having a very nontraditional career path, she pushed through barriers, focused on what is important to her, and landed in her current role; a role she believes is the perfect fit. Outside of the career, there are more important elements in her life, her family. She's a mother and a wife. A sister and a friend. She's here to tell her story of how to persevere, jump hurdles, show the world that women are powerful. She resides with her family outside of the Seattle area, is a small business owner of a mobile food company and Seattle sports bar, is a basketball mom, and a soon to be an empty nester. Who knows what the next steps in her journey are…she'll figure it out.

The Cru founder Tiffany Dufu has dedicated her life to “advancing women and girls,” harnessing their ingenuity and talent for global benefit. The Cru matches circles of women who collaborate, both online and in person, to meet their life goals. Tiffany was lucky to have her own crew of supportive women around her and she wanted to create this kind of network for fellow women entrepreneurs.“At the end of the day,” says Tiffany, “the most important part of my journey was a crew. It was recognizing that I couldn't do this by myself.” She explains that although women have family, friends, and coworkers all around them, they often view their “personal and professional journeys as if it’s a solo endeavor, not a team sport.”Listen to Tiffany’s story about overcoming the odds of being a Woman of Color startup founder, the valuable lessons in her book, “Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less,” and how Cru members want a platform that fosters intentionality, accountability, and commitment.Follow Tiffany Dufu on Twitter: @tdufu Follow The Cru on Twitter: @findyourcru Follow Jenny Fielding on Twitter: @jefielding Techstars personnel and/or guests who speak in this podcast express their own opinions, and not the opinion of either Techstars or any company discussed in this podcast.

BOSS! People who manage to get a lot accomplished each day aren’t superhuman, they simply have a system... The power of productivity is essentially connected to both our motivation and mental energy, both of which can easily flex and change. According to Psychology Today, high productivity results from a mix of factors: motivation, personality, natural talent, training or education. Physical elements also play a role in fostering productivity: Exercise, healthy eating, and sleep can boost efficiency both in the short- and long-term. As you listen to today's episode, consider what you can do to mix and match your elements for a more productive life.

#028 — Learning to Drop the Ball with Author and Activist Tiffany Dufu If you’re still trying to figure out how to do it all—to be great mom, a great wife, and a great employee—and you’re starting to realize that it just isn’t possible, it may be time to drop a ball or two. Tiffany Dufu had a reckoning on her first day back at work from maternity leave. After a hectic day running from meeting to meeting, she realized she had forgotten to stop and pump. And the reality of being a working mom hit her as the milk seeped through her blouse. Resentment and anger showed up that evening as she listened to her husband come home from work, and she thought through all of the things she had done to make his life easier and more predictable that day, from picking up the dry cleaning to putting a dinner plate in the refrigerator for him. It didn’t take long for Tiffany to realize that she had to renegotiate the terms of her marriage and redefine what it means to be a ‘good’ wife and mother. Tiffany took the time to get clear on what matters most to her and what she does really well, using that intelligence to decide which items on the to-do list were really necessary and which balls could be dropped. Today she explains the social conditioning that makes women think they have to do it all, what you can do in that moment of overwhelm, and how to determine your mission. I ask her how she initiated conversation about equity with her husband and why she has eliminated to-do lists from her life. Listen in for Tiffany’s insight around the urgency of having women in leadership and the value of investing in community.

Good wife, good mother, good daughter, good sister, good friend, good worker. Isn't enough enough already? Tiffany Dufu, author of, "Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less," says yes. She talks about letting go of those unrealistic expectations and balancing your best self. In Mailbag, credit score changes and when to see a financial planner.

How many of you try to be everything to everyone? If you struggle with saying No, (like I used to), or feel guilty when you do, then you’ll love this episode. Today I share how making conscious decisions will allow you to respond, rather than react, to the opportunities that are presented to you.  IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:  For every Yes, there is at least one No   You need to give yourself permission to make better choices and decisions  There’s only a finite amount of time in each day, yet an infinite amount of ways to fill it   How when it comes to our time, there is ALWAYS a trade-off   How your self-care time, even it’s just watching TV, matters…  Where do you start when trying to gain awareness, and how does it relate to mindfulness?   What happens when you’re not engaged in, or passionate about, volunteering  A way to gracefully say No, all while giving someone else a chance to do something   Why I very rarely accept lunch invitations for the middle of the day   Never say Yes on the spot!    And much more!   LINKS:   Episode #3: How to Take Back Your Day   Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand In the Sun and Be Your Own Person by Shonda Rhimes  Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less by Tiffany Dufu Get full show notes and more information here: http://www.hustleandflowpodcast.com/8
