Kathryn Sollmann is the author of Ambition Redefined: Why the Corner Office Doesn’t Work for Every Woman & What to Do Instead (2019). She commissioned a new survey during the ‘stay at home’ orders entitled “WOMEN IN 2020: Choosing to Move Up the Ladder—Or Not?” It reveals that few women at the mid-level—the pipeline for senior leaders—currently have these career aspirations in the C-Suite. The majority of women in the 35 to 44 age demographic, say they have reached their career goals and do not intend to advance further. Though these women are committed to their careers (even after the Covid-19 crisis that has been a stressful convergence of work and family), they admit that higher titles and compensation are secondary to having the personal bandwidth to care for family and overall work-life balance.Survey data also emphasizes that upper-level management women (not yet in the C-Suite) and women in the 45 to 55 age demographic also largely say that they have reached their career goals. Though these women who are closer to C-Suite or other top management posts would seem to be well-positioned for further advancement, they also say that they don’t want to increase the hours they devote to work or invite more stress.kathryn@kathrynsollmann.comSupport the show (http://www.hownottothink.com)

Today we’re chatting with Kathryn Sollmann, who is a career coach, author and speaker on a mission to help current and returning professional women always stay in the workforce and find the work that fits their lives. Kathryn has created and led hundreds of conferences and workshops to help women sustain and advance careers through every age and life stage. Kathryn is recognized as a thought leader in the women and work space. Her book—Ambition Redefined: Why the Corner Office Doesn’t Work for Every Woman & What to Do Instead—is the everyday woman’s guide to developing her own brand of ambition and success and finding many lucrative ways to lean “in-between” alongside caregiving for children and aging parents. A mother of two adult daughters, Kathryn has worked non-stop since the age of 16. She coaches women with insights from her own flexible work experience—as a full-time and part-time employee, a business owner, a marketing consultant, a telecommuter, a freelancer and a recruiter. A lot of what Kathryn talks about in her book on this show today relates to women and mothers, but so much of what we discussed applies equally to men. Statistically, there are more women struggling to get back into the workforce after a break, but as more men are staying home and downshifting in their careers, I think all of the insights and wisdom Kathryn shares in this episode will be an important reminder for you men out there as well.

What is your cash flow going to look like post-divorce? This is a common question that most women going through divorce have. Whether you are going back into the workforce or if you need/want to make changes in your career, Kathryn Sollman of 9 Lives for Women discusses the 6 different types of flexwork that can better blend your professional and family life. You have many options to work. You can define what success is. You have a voice in what you want to be doing in your next chapter. The six different types of flexwork are: Professional full-time – today these can be flexible in terms of where you work and what your schedule is Flexible part-time – you can also work in a more mid-to-senior level in a professional way Telecommuting – working from home or even a co-working space Job Shares – less frequent than other options but are still growing, you share a job with someone who has complementary skills and together you share the responsibility of one full-time employee Freelance – independent work, on your schedule, you get to choose what you want to do Independent Consultant – usually set up an LLC, this occurs typically when you want to have a specialty (i.e., marketing), a business built on your own terms It is important to realize that you need to give yourself a break and not feel that you must aim for the C-Suite and become this ultra-career person. You get to define how you want to work, what success means to you, what your ambition is. This should all be in the context of your long-term financial security. There are many ways to get to long-term financial security and they do not all involve being the head of the department. So how and where do you find flexwork opportunities whether you are currently working or heading back into the workforce? Well…it is all about being able to ask. 80% of companies now have some sort of flexibility even if you cannot see it. If you are returning to work, the important thing is to know what you want. It is important to ask during the interview about the opportunity to have some flexibility in the job. It creates a dialog and lets the future employer know that you are interested in flexwork. If you are already working a job and now want it to be flexible, you need to do your ask in a more professional pitch method. You need to really lay out how it will benefit the company. Kathryn outlines how to put together a professional pitch in her book as well as providing coaching services to help you through this. In this episode, we discuss: The six different kinds of flexwork How to ask for flexibility in a current job or find it elsewhere The fact that today there is no hard stop to work at age 65 Women who return to work in their 40s or 50s still have a long runway for work – and the ability to build financial security “A Man is Not a Financial Plan” – tagline for WIFE.org RESOURCES: Ambition Redefined: Why the Corner Office Doesn’t Work for Every Woman & What to Do Instead Kathryn Sollmann Career Coach, Speaker and Author 9 Lives for Women, LLC (203) 423-9251 Facebook | LinkedIn | Instagram | Twitter Visit the Women’s Financial Wellness Center for a full directory listing of experts.

Kathryn interviews Director of Research for Buckingham Strategic Wealth and The BAM Alliance Larry Swedroe, co-author of the book “Your Complete Guide to a Successful and Secure Retirement.” As we get older, most of us look forward to a life free from work. But the truth is that retirement can be highly stressful and complex - and all too many Americans fail to plan for it. Swedroe has been featured and interviewed in The WSJ, CBS Moneywatch, and Forbes.com. Kathryn also interviews coach and speaker Kathryn Sollmann, author of the book “AMBITION REDEFINED: Why the Corner Office Doesn't Work For Every Woman and What to Do Instead.” When we reframe what it means to be ambitious, we acknowledge that challenging, lucrative work can be found in many ways that favor personal satisfaction over public applause. Sollmann, a recognized leader in helping women navigate work and life, is a frequent media resource for The Today Show, NPR, The WSJ, The NYTimes, Money, and CNBC.

My guest today believes it's time to acknowledge that not all working women are interested in climbing the corporate ladder or securing the corner office. In fact, most women want and need flexible, less life-consuming work to accommodate their real lives. And it's not weak, lacking ambition or letting down the sisterhood to pursue professional fulfillment and financial security through less lofty, or headline-making ways. Kathryn Sollmann has created and led hundreds of conferences and workshops that help women sustain and advance careers as they blend work and life. She's a regular feature in the press, talking and writing about women's work vs. family issues, challenging the status quo, debunking work-life myths, and helping women work around corporate obstacles. Recognized as a thought leader in the women and work space, her book—Ambition Redefined: Why the Corner Office Doesn’t Work for Every Woman & What to Do Instead—is the everyday woman’s guide to developing her own brand of ambition and success and finding many lucrative ways to lean “in-between” alongside caregiving for children and aging parents. In the book, Kathryn calls it like it is; everyday women want and need flexible work that allows them to unapologetically pursue their own brand of ambition and success. She shows them how without sacrificing themselves, their careers or their families.

I always say that getting financially fit is just like getting physically fit - they both require that you do two things. To get physically fit, you need to eat less and work out more. To get financially fit, you need to spend less and make more. It sounds easy, but if it were that easy, we would have a bunch of skinny millionaires running around. We joke at The Gym, where are the skinny millionaires at? It is hard work to get physically and financially fit, but today we’re talking about one of those areas of financial fitness, and that’s making more money, specifically for women. Women frequently feel torn between caring for their loved ones, whether it is kids or parents, and trying to make money. Today I am talking to Kathryn Sollman, Career Coach and author of the new book Ambition Redefined, Why the Corner Office Doesn’t Work for Everyone and What to Do Instead.
