Podcast appearances and mentions of Tara Moore

We were soooo close to wrapping this season, but we'll always change the schedule for a doping story. The news of Iga Swiatek testing positive for a banned substance provoked shock, confusion, and even resignation among tennis watchers who are, by the day, becoming more versed on the fine details of doping cases. Our immediate questions were: Is the story plausible? Why is the suspension broken into pieces? When should news like this be made public? As always, we like to dive into the report itself, making sure we've got the facts straight before offering any hot takes. Later, we try to answer a few of our own questions, touching on player reactions and the danger of comparing one case to another.  1:35 GoFundMe Update 3:25 Iga Swiatek tests positive for trimetazidine in Cincinnati, gets a 1-month non-consecutive suspension 9:05 A timeline to make sense of things 13:10 Iga's team sends a boatload of evidence to the ITIA 17:30 What's the difference between No Fault or Negligence and No Significant Fault of Negligence? 31:30 Public disclosure: balancing a player's privacy with building transparency and trust  36:05 Tara Moore has a more legitimate beef than most  42:30 Simona said this case is identical to hers (it is not)

2022 Wimbledon prep had been dominated by the ban of Russian and Belarusian players, and then Serena Williams stopped the world by announcing her return to competitive tennis, first in Eastbourne doubles (OnsRena 4ever) and ultimately the Wimbledon singles draw. She joins a crowded field with no clear favorite, with Iga, Ons, Angie, Coco, a few Karolinas, and Petra all in with a shot. The men's side sees Rafa and Djokovic on opposite sides, with Rafa attempting to continue his 14-match Slam win streak and Djokovic trying to upend the year's narrative and further complicate the best-ever conversation.    1:10 Stop the world; world, stop: the birth of OnsRena and Rena's surprising return to Wimbledon 11:55 Another unlikely return to Wimbledon: Rafa's foot procedure allows him to play SW19 14:40 Tara Moore popped for alleged doping 19:50 Women's draw: RG was a sure thing for Iga, but not so at Wimbledon 27:05 The Serena quarter (well, technically the Badosa quarter): LOADED 36:50 The women's bottom half offers huge opportunity (*whispers* but it should be Ons) 46:40 Men's draw top half: Djokovic, Alcaraz, and a few seeds who've never won a match here 52:05 Bottom half: Berrettini, Fritz, and Tsitsipas rounding into form at the right time

The pandemic has been difficult for the entire tennis community, and has been well documented. But when @annak4ever posted a graphic this week about the lack of "Challenger level" opportunities for women (just 3 tournaments in the 60-100K prize range from January through March!), it really opened Mike's eyes to the incredible lack of upward mobility available right now on the women's side. There's no one better qualified to talk about it than Tara Moore. The 28 year old Brit is a member of the ITF Player Panel, and with a current ranking around 200, is one of the players directly impacted by a lack of tournaments with sufficient points to improve her rankings. She walks us through some of the challengers both personally, and globally, for women outside the top 75 in the world. As always, a huge thank you to our patreon sponsors.

What it means to be happy and successful doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. In today's world, we fall victim to the crippling and undisciplined pursuit of more.

Tara Moore and her husband Matt are the Owners of Tara Moore Real Estate and have committed to pulling back on the "more lever". Now, they are making a conscious choice to focus on what they want their lives and business to truly look like. Instead of focusing solely on growth, they are aiming their sights on working less and spending more time with their family. Tara is on a mission to help all of us see that there isn't shame in not wanting to scale and grow, but to rather break the mold in business.

Nowadays our Christmas stories are mainly warm and cozy. They’re about reunions and homecomings. Romances and magical journeys and visits from St. Nicholas. But not so very long ago, and especially for the Victorians, Christmas stories could also send chills down your spine and make you think twice about things that go bump in the night.  In this episode, professor Tara Moore tells Brian about this creepy part of Christmas history. Plus, Brian reads the ghost story, The Strange Christmas Game.

Nothing feels worse than having a piece of writing you’ve worked hard on rejected or criticized. But, it’s part of the academic life, so I’m teaching you how to deal with it in a healthy and positive way that will improve your writing and help get your message out there.  On this episode we’re going to talk about 3 different types of feedback you might receive, how to spot the differences between them and how to respond. I’ll also tell you about an excellent resource to help with your mindset, and why you should consider disconnecting from both praise and criticism.    3 Types of Writing Criticism and How to Respond   1. Posturing  It should come as no surprise to anyone that there is a lot (I mean A LOT) of posturing in academia. The pressure is always on to sound smart, to respond to other people’s work in a way that shows what you’ve read and where you situate your work in the world. That’s not necessarily bad and it’s certainly part of the job. But sometimes that pressure to posture seeps into everything, including writing criticism.   Here’s how it might look in a written review: The reviewer’s criticism does not actually engage with what you wrote, but rather shows off how much he/she knows about the topic (this is the defining characteristic of posturing). The reviewer suggests you cite a completely different body of literature than the one your work relies on (likely a body of literature that he knows better than the one you cited). The reviewer calls you out for not citing one very particular article and implies that you can’t possibly write scholarship in this field without citing it. How to Respond: I suggest you make a table with two columns, detailing the specific criticism or recommendation on the left side, and how you addressed it on the right when preparing to respond to any feedback. To deal with posturing, you might note on your chart: “while I appreciate the reviewers suggestion to include ____  in my article, for ____ reasons I decided not to cite that here.” What this does is make the posturing of the reviewers apparent, and shows the editor that you’ll have none of it. “Remember: it’s your work, and you can decide who to cite.” -Cathy Mazak   2. Silencing The end goal of this type of criticism is to block or revoke publication. What silencing might look like:   A reviewer nitpicking small details of your work.  A reviewer grasping at straws for reasons why your work shouldn’t be published at all, or should be retracted.  Little to no evidence against your piece given other than disagreement with the main idea   I experienced this recently (from a colleague at my own university!) in response to this article I wrote for The Chronicle of Higher Education on what the role of university communities should be in the face of devastating circumstances in our communities.    How to Respond: Like posturing, you need to see through this kind of criticism (good editors help). Silencing can put you on the defensive, but once you recognize it, you’ll see that the critiques have no basis or are not related to your main point. If your piece has an editor, be sure to get in contact with him or her and call out the silencing. Don’t get into an internet fight with the person—be above that!—and let your work speak for itself. “If you let yourself become enraged or beaten down, then the silencer will win.” -Cathy Mazak   3. Constructive Criticism This is the kind of feedback we want! Even though it might hurt, most criticism should be heard and addressed. The review process is there for a reason, and it is not to torture you! We are often so close to our own work that we can’t take a step back and see it from another perspective. The job of the reviewer is to show us our blind spots, see connections we missed, to call us out before publication so that we aren’t called out after.   That said, too many academics give up after receiving reviews. They put the reviews away and give up on the paper. Don’t do this! Remember: your unique, once-only-on-earth perspective on your field needs to be out there changing the world. DON’T let criticism relegate your writing to a drawer.    Here is a step-by-step plan for how to deal with the review process: Make sure you are in a good mental state before opening and reading reviews. After reading the reviews, wait 24 hours before you do anything. Re-read the reviews (after waiting 24 hours) and make a list of all the positive feedback. (We often gloss over this part, draw some attention to it!) Read through again and make a chart with one column detailing each criticism and a second column noting how you will address it. Take a first pass at planning how you will address each item on the chart. Note things that will be quick to fix, and things that will take longer to address. Start picking off the easy-to-fix items on the list. Schedule harder or more time consuming tasks onto your calendar, for example: adding additional literature, re-analyzing data, etc. “Breaking down the revisions into smaller steps helps alleviate feelings of overwhelm and makes sure that you get your revisions done.” -Cathy Mazak Disconnecting From Praise and Criticism  While accepting and dealing with writing criticism is all part of the job in academia, it is certainly not always easy. I want to recommend a great resource for helping you disconnect from both praise and criticism. Playing Big by Tara Moore has a wealth of helpful information on how and why you should do this. A few of the things she discusses:   Feedback often tells you more about the person giving the feedback than it does about your work, or certainly about you as a person.  If you are putting yourself and your work out there in the world as a woman, you are going to get criticized. Criticism hurts more when it mirrors beliefs we already hold about ourselves. Why should we disconnect from praise? Ask yourself: what do I want in life more than I want praise?   “Women who play big get criticized. Period.” -Cathy Mazak, referencing Playing Big by Tara Moore Do you want to be part of a community of academic women who support each other, offer helpful advice and know where you’re coming from because they’ve been there too?

Rachel Lightfoot was flying high at Google and YouTube where she learned digital marketing from the ground up and taught it to Nike and Coca-Cola, even to celebrities like Will Smith. “I was living this fantastic life. I was on the fast track. I had a beautiful home, a husband. Before I had kids I thought, ‘My God, I’ve done it!’”  Once her children turned one and three, however, the feeling wasn’t joy and excitement, but “deep sorrow” because Lightfoot says her mind was "always on the job and the company’s clients.” Lightfoot , the family breadwinner, "decided what I needed was a reset.” Lightfoot speaks with CoveyClub founder Lesley Jane Seymour about how she prepared (by saving six months of living expenses and putting a moratorium on shopping) and took the leap into Catchfoot + Run (https://www.catchfootandrun.com/) , a brand-building consulting company.  One year later she is “100% more present in my life” and has "almost replaced my corporate salary.”   Episode notes: Lightfoot’s top inspirational tips: 1) Start before you’re ready. 2) Create a mailing list—even if you have nothing to sell. 3) Read. Her most inspirational book: Playing Big by Tara Moore (https://amzn.to/2tdVOl8)  “which discusses two types of fear. One is true fear but another is excitement or awe when you go outside your comfort zone. I was excited and scared."

We're breaking down the draws for Roland Garros 2017, perhaps the most unpredictable women's major in memory. We talk about the overarching themes (La Decima, Novak-Andre, notable absences, and the 10+ female contenders) but we also go in-depth with the draws. After that, we devote a long time to addressing Margaret Court's continued and unprovoked attacks on the lgbt community. We consider what exactly free speech means, the responsibility that comes with it, and the necessity to push back when our queer personhoods and families are under attack.   1:30 The themes of the Roland Garros draw: the wiiiide open women's draw 4:45 Some surprising favorites: Svitolina, Mladenovic, Stosur? 14:00 Going through the draw - which quarterfinals are most likely to happen? 24:00 Our bold and probably wrong predictions for the women's draw 27:15 Men's draw storylines: La Decima, Djokovic-Agassi, Thiem hopes to put a bow on his clay season 37:00 Men's draw analysis: follow along at home! 47:30 Men's bottom half: Nadal, Djokovic, Thiem, and? 50:45 The Rant: Margaret Court gets personal with her bigotry 57:50 The meaning of free speech: why "Everyone is entitled to an opinion" falls short 1:01:00 Why we need to fight back 1:09:00 Finishing on a happier note: WTA players Tara Moore and Conny Perrin are engaged!

Episode 42: The Power Pose  It’s been a great first year of the Women Rocking Wall Street, and I’ve had the pleasure of following up with Tracy Bagli Hooper, who was my very first guest when I first launched WRW. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to episode two, Confidence is Contagious, Tracy is the creator of The Confidence Project, an organization dedicated to help others build confidence in their lives. As she likes to say, “the Confidence Project is an equal opportunity endeavor.” According to Tracy, confidence may have a genetic component, and even though some people may have a slight genetic advantage, it’s possible to build confidence through training our brain for a confidence mindset.  Have you ever heard of the Power Pose? It’s a technique for building confidence for a meeting, interview or any event where you want to build and demonstrate your best self.  It changes the hormones in your brain and help you reduce Cortisol and increase Testosterone.  It’ll not only affect how you feel, but how others feel about you. Studies indicated the people who were perceived as smarter and more competent are the ones who do the Power Pose.  It’s free, takes 2 minutes a day! Watch the TED Talk with Amy Cuddy here.  Tracy sees a great value in momentum, and is sharing her services to as wide a range of people as possible.  She learned that narrowing focus too quickly can adversely affect momentum. There is certainly a value in developing a niche and a focus, but be careful not to niche down too quickly. She also reminds us to be aware of the skills and talents we possess, we might be fluent in areas that others find completely baffling. The knowledge we take for granted might be the crucial knowledge that others need, and this gives us the opportunity to help others move forward too.  Remember: What we know, others might not know.  There are some great books for growth and development that Tracy recommends, including: “The Confidence Code” by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman; “The Defining Decade” by Meg Jay; “Key Person of Influence” by Daniel Priestly; and “Playing Big” by Tara Moore. If you’d like to get in touch with Tracy and learn more about the The Confidence Project, visit her site at confidenceproject.com, or visit her on Facebook or send her a quick email.  If you liked this episode, be sure to share it with others and head over to iTunes and write a review. Also, thanks for listening!
