“When asked about success, I do think I've followed teachers', bosses', parents', friends' views of what success was, versus ‘what would make me feel really good about myself?' And it has to do with people and creating harmony for them, andthis thing that outlives me.”– Kaley NicholWe know that the Women Who Work crew is in the midst of our busiest and most full season of life and career. And we are here to talk about it! One of the greatest aspects of gathering women together is normalizing those experiences and feelings that we are facing. This episode does just that.

What's something that you're doing that pulls a ton of your time? Can you systemize it? Can you automate it?In order to answer your questions about what I automate in my business, I was challenged to think about my business and what automation systems I have outside of my automated emails.It is my goal that what I share in this episode will help you think of an automation that you are going to try in your business to buy back your time, make something easier for you, or make your communication more streamlined.  I find that hearing what other people do, even if it doesn't directly apply to my business, gives me ideas and I can take that idea and run with it. So I hope that this episode can do that for you!TAKEAWAYS:Use Many Chat to automate or start DM conversations. Many Chat allows auto responses and links to be sent in real time so the conversion rate is higher. It also gives amazing market research and frees up my time by not making me feel like I have to be on Instagram all the time. Use a bundle auto responder. To be a part of my bundles, people must send in an application. What I was doing was a very timely process so I added Zapier to connect my Google Forms to my ConvertKit, and automate my process. This allowed for the application form to be filled out and then automatically put it in my email marketing software for me, which made a huge difference in gaining back time. Every single day I use Meta Ad. Yes, this is an investment, but it is producing sales and leads every single day. I can choose to lower ad spend or ramp it up, but it buys back time and produces sales, so it's worth it to me!RESOURCES:Check out the blog post that goes along with this episode for additional resourcesListen to the 3 email automations all coaches and experts need episodeListen to the Pinned posts and Many chat episodeListen to the My Meta Ads strategy episodeSnag a seat in the Sell on Autopilot Masterclass, and learn how to use email marketing to sell while you sleep!CONNECT WITH ALLISON:Follow Allison on InstagramDID YOU HAVE AN 'AH-HA MOMENT' WHILE LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE?If you found value and are ready to take action from listening to this episode, head to Apple Podcasts and help us reach new audiences by giving the podcast a rating and a review.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: why do we want multiple people with different perspectives at the table? Because we know the value in that. How many blind spots are you able to see when you have people looking at it from different directions? But if they don't feel like they belong, they cannot bring those perspectives forward in a safe space.”   -  Chelsea Burns   In this episode, we are talking about in-office culture. You know, cubicle locations, thermostat wars, the smell of tuna lingering in the post-lunch hallways… Do you remember these times with rose colored glasses? Or are you filled with dread at the idea of returning to the office space? We are seeing a clear trend to get employees back to the office full time. We talk about the pros and cons of this as well as a way to be proactive in your workplace situation. We also have an interview with Chelsea Burns, applied psychologist and marketer with a passion for elevating women. In her graduate thesis "A Sense of Belonging: Understanding the Female Entrepreneur's Connection to Self and Others," she uncovers unexplored and impactful findings about the power of belonging. The combination of her psychological insights and research findings empower other women with a framework for how to enhance their holistic selves through belonging. Chelsea has a Master of Science in Applied Psychology from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Media from Baker University. She is currently the Director of Marketing and Branding at HFG Architecture in Wichita, KS, serves as the Community and Belonging Lead for FutureWomenX and volunteers as a mentor for RALLY sponsored by The Mom Project.

“Find joy in the imperfection of it all. People talk about the enigma of work-life balance; it does not exist. It's more like work-life integration.”   -  Susan Thomas   In this episode, we are talking about the often controversial concept, “Leaning In”…and discussing how, today, we just as often hear women use the phrase, “Lean Out”. When Sheryl Sandberg wrote the book Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead in 2013, it was received as the working woman's Bible. It challenged women to do more. But by 2018, the concept and author faced a major fallout as women said: that just doesn't work.   What does all this mean? How are we seeing women demonstrate leaning in and leaning out today?   We also have an interview with the indelible Susan Thomas, Managing Director of Health Plan Growth at Express Scripts, who shares about perspective, boundaries, and how she balances a thriving career with a full personal life - friends, children, and aging parents. In this conversation, you will hear: What is leaning in and leaning out, and do these phrases hold water in 2023?

They break down what is most notable from the report, a couple surprises, as well as the things that feel like they never change. As always, they cover the SO WHAT of it all - what you can do to keep advancing as a woman who works.   To get another perspective on the report, you will also hear reflections from Sally Schott, CEO of SOAR.   “I believe in the persistence of women.”   - Mandy Learn   In this conversation, you will hear: The five key takeaways from the report.

In this episode, we are talking about transparency in communication. It's a leadership touchstone, but it's one that feels more challenging than it should to navigate and get right. But the payoffs of transparency are trust, and trust goes a long way for teams and organizations! Our featured guest is Allison Shank. Allison joined Ashland in 2015, and is currently leading the global pharmaceutical coatings business. Prior to Ashland, Allison was a finance leader within the legacy Merchant Gases Business Unit of Air Products and Chemicals. She started her career with Bank of America in the Consumer Real Estate group prior to pursuing an MBA from Purdue University. “What I've found is that if I have that transparent communication with a team it allows me to build trust. And by building that trust with a team it allows them to feel safe speaking up. We can open the doors to sharing and experimenting. And knowing it's okay to try new things. To take some risks sometimes, and come to a point where you do something that you didn't think was achievable, and actually get it accomplished.” - Allison Shank From this episode's conversation, you will hear: Why transparency is so important for trust.

In this episode, we are talking about executive presence and meeting management. We tackle how to rise to leadership heights through credibility, presence, and time management.   Tierah Lothbrok (AKA Bob), Co-Founder of ConveneLabs and SOAR facilitator extraordinaire, gives us facilitation tools to make every meeting matter. Ms. Lothbrok has developed methodologies, interventions, and courses to leverage the strengths resident within an organization. The results she uncovers are sustainable, scalable, and meaningful growth in individuals, and elevated performance throughout the organization.   “Leadership isn't about knowing the answers; it's about working with your team to come to them. I think the most powerful part of facilitation is that when it's your idea, people resist it. When it's their idea, they execute on it. In every way possible, make it ‘our problem' and ‘our solution'. Let them put it into action. Let them get messy with their ideas and plans. Then they will really see it through to the end."   From this episode's conversation, you will hear: The three components of Executive Presence and how bias creeps into this ratio. How to increase your Executive Presence through seven steps.Tools for managing your calendar to avoid the pitfalls of ‘meeting culture'.

Workplace burnout…it's not a new phrase, and it's also not going away. Burnout is a WHO-recognized state in which there is a chronic imbalance between your job demands and resources. What's the solution? We propose: an intentional focus on wellbeing at work. For scalable impact, leaders must take responsibility for creating psychologically safe environments, thriving cultures, and a sense of belonging for employees. We connect the dots between wellbeing and what will be 75% of our workforce by 2025: millennials. Elisa Torres joins us to talk about how millennials are leading the way in taking stock of values, setting boundaries, and destigmatizing mental health in the workplace. Elisa is a marketing professional and a leader in the healthcare industry. As a Director for Global Strategic Marketing at Johnson & Johnson, she has excelled in her career, while also making an impact as a philanthropist and speaker. She has addressed audiences from TEDx stages to corporate settings to mission fields about the potential power we all have as leaders and change agents. “I stopped and took inventory of everything I've accomplished, and I thought, ‘I have every right to be in this room, I have every right to have a seat at this table.' Is that arrogance? No. I reframe it to say, [if I don't] I'm robbing them of my perspective.That's the beauty of diversity. My company will be better off if I communicate. So have the confidence to show up, speak up, and advocate for the ideas you have.” From this episode's conversation, you will hear: ● How burnout is driving companies to shift from wellness to wellbeing ● The five key elements of wellbeing and why career is a #1 priority ● Specific strategies for managers to focus on wellbeing, building resilience, and creating belonging in the workplace ● Millennials are teaching us about mental health and setting boundaries in the workplace ● How Elisa has integrated her personal human rights passions with her role at work Don't miss our ONE THING TO TRY and WHAT YOU GOT IN THAT BAG prompts at the end!

Happy Women's History Month! Mandy and Stephanie come together in this episode to explore the history of women who work. They focus on where we started, how far we've come, and why it matters. “Women add so much to the workplace. There is something irreplaceable about what a woman brings. We have leadership skills that cannot be replicated. We bring creativity and innovation, diversity of thought. We will continue to move the world forward, if we're there. So we have to keep being there. The work you do matters.” -Stephanie Keally In this episode, you will march through 1940 - 2023 as women redefine the workplace: ● In the 1940s, World War II brought women to the production lines; ● In the 1950s, women were sent back home and with the economy booming, a trophy housewife was the idyllic lifestyle; ● In the 1960s, the ideal was cracking; ● In the 1970s, legislation laid the foundation for women's rights; ● In the 1980s, women saw the highest participation in the workforce; ● In the 1990s we experienced the ‘mommy wars'; ● In the 2000s, we started going backwards while women said, we just can't do it all; ● In 2023, we still experience the push and pull of being a woman who works, but the future looks bright, and the march is worth it!

During the pandemic nearly 2.5 million women left the workforce and 1 in 3 mothers were considering leaving or downshifting their career. Being a working mom comes with penalties and biases, many subtle and easy to present as “concern” for the woman. With working moms making up 32% of all employed women in 2018, we need to take a closer look at the bias they experience in the workforce. Podcast guest, Erica Ballard, Life Coach for Women Who Work, walks us through the horrific stats of the uphill battle working moms face, including motherhood penalties and biases. Not only are working moms 100% less likely to be promoted but they earn $11,000 less than their childless peers and fathers. Erica offers a strategy to tease out bias and provides ways to be your own advocate at work. She also reveals the mental shift she made and how she decided she's playing a different game where she writes the rules. Key Highlights: 1 in 3 women are considering leaving or downshifting their career and 2 in 5 new moms will leave the workforce  Losing a mom within the first year of motherhood will cost a company $92,000. 75% of expectant mothers are excited to return to work but 43% of them end up leaving. Examples of “motherhood penalties” – 79% less likely to be hired, 100% less likely to be promoted, and make on average $11,000 less than their childless peers or fathers. Maternal wall bias: people believe you are less committed and as a result, less competent at work. Bias can be subtle such as assuming new mothers will check out when they come back to work or not offering them new projects (none of which is discussed directly with the woman). Maybe you don't want the promotion. What do you want your life to look like?  Ask for some reviews (even if it's off-cycle) to understand what your employer needs and/or expects from you. This can also help you understand where there is some bias. How women can be their own champions – determine what you want your like to look like, who do you have to be to be and show up as that person. You may have to switch jobs or careers (but do the internal work first). Do it your way and go have fun as you do it.

Ambitious women - this episode is for you.Sarah Penna is a digital media pioneer, serial entrepreneur, mom of 1 (90% OK with this choice at the time of the recording), wife to the one-time-number-6-most popular YouTube talent, and this week's FIA woman. Sarah had a goal to build and sell a company before she turned 30. And, she did it with 15 days to spare, while also expecting her first (and only - more on that, too) child.She's the kind of woman you look at in awe, saying, "wow, does she have it all?"Like anything, the answer is, "it depends."  This conversation spans ambition, the pressure of "peaking early," motherhood, mental health, reinvention, and why it's so important to have compassion for yourself every single day. Hit play, and remember who TF you are because, like Sarah says, at the end of the day, "at least I was a pioneer."X,KLG
