Podcasts about every woman what

Women in Business need to support one another!  We are on the same team and Kathryn Sollmann, founder of The 4 Jobs Club, an online community of women assists women in navigating their many roles as moms, caregivers, and career women.  Kathryn, quoted in the NY Times,  is  the author of the book “Ambition Redefined: Why the Corner of Office is Not for Every Woman & What to Do Instead”.  If you are a woman with any type of job and other responsibilities (who isn't?!!) this episode is for you! 

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.

When mothers give up work they don't just lose their current salary, but their future earnings growth and the benefits they would've accrued over their career. Kathryn Sollmann is a US-based career coach and author of Ambition Redefined,  Why the Corner Office Doesn't Work for Every Woman & What to Do Instead.  She advocates for staying in work once you've had children even if you think childcare expenses mean you think you can't.   Kathryn recognises that the examples of women in leadership roles are not appealing or realistic for most women's lives. The huge job managing hundreds of people on a vast salary will invariably mean you have little time for other things - like children and family. But as she explains in her book success isn't about a certain job title, it's about finding the flexibility that means you can be home nursing a sick child or ageing parent at 2pm or in the office to lead a big meeting at 7am.  She says women can have substantial careers but they have to do a professional pitch for flexibility. Doing this works 80% of the time. Not doing it, often results in rejection.

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.
