If you're SUPER strategic, you're always thinking three steps ahead of everyone else which can be extremely useful but NOT if you're losing everyone along the way.  How would I define someone who is SUPER Strategic?Your brain will work quickly and be filled with ideas and ways to connect all those different ideasYou'll be solving problems people haven't even thought of yetThe people around you might not see the 'problems' you're outlining as being 'problems' at all You may have difficulty prioritising or communicating your thoughts so that you are understoodBeing SUPER strategic can be frustrating - for you and your team! In this episode I am sharing 5 tips to help SUPER Strategists make the most of their super power whilst still engaging and influencing others as they go!Something I said today:"From Neuro-science we know that people compute information differently, deleting and retaining different pieces of any communication based on their own preferences, experiences and bias. Even if you think your communication is clear, it still might not be understood in the way you intend. And if you want to influence others, you need first to seek understanding and engagement before you persuade."

Save yourself months, if not YEARS, on the wrong path by taking an objective step back to review your career. Coaching is the ideal partnership to help you become more strategic and chase down only THE BEST opportunities for you and your career.Too often people are lost in their careers, working extremely hard and delivering phenomenal results - but without getting the return for themselves. It can leave you feeling empty, unfulfilled and unrecognised.Making the time to think about where you are and what you REALLY want can be absolutely game changing. That objective review will take you out of the weeds and the DOING of your career... and into the strategic control seat. And then - AND ONLY THEN - will you start getting the promotions and opportunities you deserve!Something I said today:"A coach is skilled to hold space for you and help you challenge whether what you're doing right now is indeed the right path to be on."

Who said career 'success' is only about climbing the career ladder and going UP? Today I am exploring the metaphor of your career being a 'jungle gym' instead full of rich, lateral experiences.In her book Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg references the metaphor of a 'career jungle gym' which she credits to Forbes' journalist Pattie Sellers. It's the idea that 'success' doesn't have to be a linear path. And you don't even need to know your ultimate destination. In all the years I have been a specialist career coach for women, I have seen that people who diversify their experiences are better off in the long term (certainly if they are chasing a leadership role).In this episode I am exploring some ways to help you determine your own career path so that it feels like you're making good decisions... and are having a lot of fun along the way!Something I said today:"Where the career gym metaphor really excites me is it's based on chasing OPPORTUNITY rather than chasing job titles. This is hugely liberating and can lead to you making some really good decisions for your career."

A number of my clients have said this exact thing to me about the career strategies they learn in my program... let's dive into why getting a coach earlier - even today - will set you up for success.In this ep, I am exploring how to find out if you'd benefit from working with a coach, like me (or otherwise!)...We are talking ambition, goals, (as well as having neither)...We are talking about feeling stuck, lacking visibility and support...What to expect from an initial call with a coach...And the 3 very tangible reasons why you must NOT wait another month, another week, another day before reaching out to a coach and getting the support you need to succeed!Something I said today:"My coaching niche is two-fold. It's about career strategy first and foremost. What's in it for you? What do you want from the next 12 months or 5 years?

Affinity bias - the reason why many male leaders hire more men with similar experiences and backgrounds as them2. Loyalty bias - the assumption that women will remain loyal to their organisations, even if they are continuously overlooked for promotion3. Common assumptions made about women's needs and career aspirations, that are often wrongSomething I said today:"Bias occurs throughout the entire lifecycle of a women's career: from recruitment, professional development opportunities to promotion, mentoring advice and compensation discussions - at every career transaction, qualified women can be side-lined."

Do you tend to over-catastrophise situations, or feel guilt too easily with setbacks? You might layer on 'meaning' to all sorts of situations but there's a much simpler way! Stay in control, feel better and more free with this strategy today!I went to my yoga class last night… it was heaven. My yoga studio overlooks the beach, the sun was still low in the sky and I could hear the waves lapping the beach as I stretched and relaxed at the end of my class.My yoga instructor, Annie, was whispering deep and meaningful suggestions to the room and then she said, "Sometimes a thing is not good; it's not bad; it just is."And despite the fact I wasn't supposed to get distracted, I did. What a thoughtful idea. If you know you tend to layer on meaning to difficult situations (or your interactions with other people perhaps) and it can have a detrimental impact on your emotions and wellbeing, you will LOVE this discussion. xLinks:*** Watch my FREE masterclass right now and learn the steps and strategies to get promoted to leadership in 2025Listen to all podcast eps Follow our Show on Apple Podcasts:Also, if you haven't done so already, follow the podcast.

Are you ASSUMING or ABDICATING your own authority? It's the difference between backing yourself and believing in your value (and right) to be there... and abandoning all hope. I know which strategy I would rather adopt! In my business I focus a lot of energy with clients on the concept of assuming your authority. When you crack this idea you make huge shifts in how you view yourself, how you start to show up and critically, how you are seen by the senior stakeholders around you.Today I am sharing 3 significant ways in which you could be abdicating - or abandoning - your own authority. These 3 actions - or inactions - will be having a significant negative impact on your career right now and your ability to realise your true potential. That's how important this strategy is.So buckle up! We are going to be covering a lot today.Something important I said today:"So until you start assuming your authority, backing yourself and showing up with a heightened sense of your value proposition to your organisation, you are likely doing something else entirely: you are likely abdicating, or abandoning, your authority and missing all the best opportunities in your career."

So if you're looking for a fresh conversation at your next International Women's Day event, conference or panel discussion this could be the ideal practical speech to enrich and empower your audience.Women who are struggling to get promoted to leadership are often told they have a confidence 'problem' and just need to learn to be more assertive and speak up more.

Consistent overachievement inevitably learns to burnout - take new action today to get back in control of your workload - and your life.We are talking about:Why do so many women have a relentless need to overachieve?How peer pressure, from other high achievers, can impact your need to competeWhat society 'expects' of women and putting pressure on yourselfSetting expectations on ourselves, that we would never put on othersTaking control back with the 3 prioritiesHaving adult children at home can have a huge impact on youQuick fixes, like stepping out for a coffee, having a 'big sleep' and even going on holiday, don't shift the addiction to working at a level of 110% - bigger change is neededThe benefits of overachieving include personal satisfaction, intellectual stimulation and building self worthSomething Sally said that I wanted to share here:"If you choose to do less, you actually feel like you have more control.

When we build a career we have choices. One choice is to dig deep into a specific areas of expertise and become a total domain expert, and another is to have a broader reach with varied experiences.

We are talking today about:Going after a broad career - the floodlight (multiple sectors) versus the torchlight approach (subject matter expert in one sector)Thriving beyond your comfort zoneThe power of a clear vision to galvanise teams during crises Meg's Career Toolbelt analogy : how to expand your 'toolbelt' and look for new experiences and opportunities to broaden your skills and experiences throughout your careerSomething Meg said:"If I am not uncomfortable, I am not growing and I am not learning. I have chosen to become a a strategic operations and customer experience expert globally, but I am always learning a new sector, whether its management consulting, tech with Apple, electric cars or FMCG. The investment I have to put in early-on in a role is to learn the sector, as well as the pain points of the customer.
