PERSONAL BRANDING AND WHY YOU SHOULD CARE.

The question is no longer if you have a personal brand, but whether you choose to guide and cultivate the brand yourself or to let it be defined on your behalf.

Building your own personal brand correctly is important.

✅ It allows you to effectively articulate the value you bring to the marketplace helping you to stand out in a sea of other contenders.

✅ It makes you the logical choice for the role on offer as you distinguish your qualities over other various employment candidates.

✅ It keeps you visible as more and more companies are using search engines and social media tools to seek out future employees.

So how do you build a personal brand?

Your personal brand is an amalgamation of multiple daily actions, as well as your connection to other people and organisations. It's about defining your strongest attributes and selling yourself confidently to companies and to your network.

So how are you articulating and expressing your uniqueness and value? Does this come easily or do you need some help?

The foundations for this is an area I teach inside the pre-work and the strategic 1:1 day in my private intensives.

If you are a professional woman with ambitious career goals and want to define your personal brand and communicate your value with ease and flow - send me a DM and we can have a quick chat about how I can help.

𝐈𝐟 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐞, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞? 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞.

As a female leader, my career like so many other women I know has been riddled with bias, bullying and inequality. Unfortunately, it's an all too familiar story.

As time went on in my career, I found my voice and I started to say enough is enough and speak up. Not only for me but for the next generation of women to come.

Then I was labelled emotional, bossy and too direct.

I saw it as being passionate, compelled to ensure the bias against women stops. And I will continue to speak up and if that makes you uncomfortable then help be part of the solution for meaningful change.

Please watch this powerful video that reaffirms that it's time that ALL women and children enjoy safety, respect and equity!

𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭?

The problem with job searching is it's not something we were ever actually taught how to do. Most of us wing it, some of us talk to friends or networks about how they do it, and others hire someone to help.

The key is to be strategic about your job search not just tactical! You need a plan and accountability and that's where I can help.

Sure you can do all the usual stuff - updating your CV, refreshing your LinkedIn profile and reaching out to networks but that will only get you so far.

Chances are you'll get a job but will it be aligned to your needs and wants right now?

And will the new role fast track your career and move you towards your 5+ year career goals?

I am committed to helping you have the knowledge and tools to have a successful career. In my VIP Career Confidence Intensive we focus on 3 key areas for a fulfilling and rewarding career:

💥 Building your foundation;
💥 Defining your direction; and
💥 Finding your fit

This gets you complete clarity over your career and next steps. Which in turn enables you to confidently position yourself in the market to reach your career goals. You have a clear strategy to accelerate your career from where you are now to where you want to be.

Don't leave your career to chance take control today. You and you alone are responsible for your career progression at every stage.

I'm opening up just TWO spots for new VIP clients in March.

If you are a highly ambitious, professional woman wanting to make confident career choices by aligning values, lifestyle needs and networks. And move away from burnout and unfulfilling roles - Send me a DM.

And let me know what you’d like to achieve from your career in the next 6-12 months.

Speak soon!

Are holidays an escape or a reward?

How you perceive holiday time will be a direct reflection of how aligned and fulfilled you are at work.

Women that are not aligned see holidays as a short escape from reality. Their current day to day is getting them down.

They feel overworked, overwhelmed and unmotivated. A holiday is a chance to get away from all that and relax and unwind.

For those women in full alignment, holidays are a reward. A reward for your hard work, great results and an acknowledgement of your successes so far.

You use holidays as a reward for your results and the people you were able to help.

So tell me how do you perceive your holidays?

Escape 🏃‍♀️

OR

Reward 👏

If you want to feel more happiness and joy at work that comes through the alignment of values, purpose and skills with the role and company you chose to work in.

This is just one of the areas I focus on with new clients inside my private 1:1 intensive program.

Send me a DM.

And we can have a brief chat about what this could look like along with next steps😊

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU (FINALLY) HAVE FULL ALIGNMENT IN YOUR CAREER?

When you tell your new boss you are pregnant only a month into a brand new role and it is ok.

This is exactly what happened to a recent client of mine. This client came to me completely exhausted and burnt out. She had been in a previous role that had just taken so much from her and was struggling to see what was next.

Through my private 1:1 intensives, we mapped out a clear career strategy and targeted her next best role that was completely aligned to her needs and values.

Within weeks she landed a new role, gained a $25k salary uplift, started in a new industry, and found a manager and company environment that supported her specific values.

So when she feel pregnant unexpectedly we worked together on the best way to communicate the news.

We mapped out a process to inform her manager and stakeholders in a positive way whilst she was delivering great results in her role.

They saw the value she was creating from day one (my clients are great hires!) so when it was time to tell people about the news they were accepting and supportive.

If creating alignment in your career is important and you are ready to take action now DM me.

WHEN WOMEN SUPPORT EACH OTHER INCREDIBLE THINGS HAPPEN.
....But what happens when they don't?

What I'm seeing, in my world are two things, either:

❌ a lot of women going it alone, afraid to share their inner demons, not wanting to be a burden, and therefore not having the energy to be supportive to others; or

❌ women tearing other successful women down, gossiping and criticising probably due to their own insecurities and frankly this is just not cool.

In day to day life, are we holding one another up? Are we celebrating one another's successes?

When we see another woman tapping into her own personal power and purpose, how do we feel about ourselves? Are these feelings keeping you from being truly supportive?

If you're suffering a scarcity in the fulfilment department, seeing others thriving can sometimes create a twinge of jealousy. Rather than tear someone down use these feelings as a reminder that it's time to search out more purpose in your life.

If you see a woman that is doing great things, celebrate them, and use them as inspiration for yourself, instead of as a means for self-judgment.

So how can you raise up the women in your network:

✔️ highlight a woman's accomplishments
✔️ don't let women undermine themselves
✔️ give someone your time
✔️ celebrate their achievements with them
✔️ offer practical help

When women support each other, great things happen. Together, we are smarter, funnier, more ambitious. We are braver and bolder.

It's magical when we stop pointing fingers and start opening our hands to one another, to link together, to raise each other up, to high five in support. So what are you waiting for tag some of your favourite women and show them your support!

REDISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE IN 30 DAYS (OR LESS).

With the environment constantly changing for employees it is now critical more than ever to maintain and update your skills for career success. I'm not talking about beefing up your resume to align with whatever employers are looking for when you are job hunting - this goes deeper than that.

The more you can understand yourself and what drives you the more you will be fulfilled at work.

But how do you get that true understanding and how can you make sure you set the right goals for where you want to be.

You need to know where you’re going in order to reach the destination - right?

But figuring out your destination has never been more complicated.

Job descriptions are fluid, career paths aren’t linear, new technologies are changing our day-to-day work and the role we aspire to today may look entirely different once we’re ready to step into it.

Reframing the way you think about your career can help you gain clarity. And this is exactly what I help my clients do in my 30 day VIP Intensives.

You get your very own VIP day, in the Boardroom with me, personally designed, potently delivered, creating a deep transformational learning experience. You come away with complete clarity and confidence on the next steps in your career and a strategy to take action to achieve your specific goals.

If you want to experience your next level of success reach out in the DM's. My boardroom is ready for you!

⭐️ Devise a Career Strategy where you can map out and execute your career plan of aligned roles perfect for you for the next 3-5 years.

⭐️ Increase your confidence so you can have powerful conversations that open doors to new opportunities.

This process has helped my clients consistently land their dream roles with $20k+ salary increases.

If you want to feel more empowered about your career and are looking to achieve new levels of success, reach out via DM and let me know how I can help.

If you are no longer enjoying your current role maybe it's time you considered what's next for you.

You don't want to be that employee who is always negative and cynical or is cranky and defensive. Because frankly that just really isn't you but something isn't right and you are just not feeling yourself.

Often when our needs aren't being met we may also be on the path to burnout and no one wants to end up there!

Maybe it's time to get some support and start setting clear action steps to enjoy your work again. Sometimes it's as simple as getting confident about having the conversations that matter to you. Putting yourself first for once.

Ask yourself "What do I need?" then make a plan to make it happen.

My best clients understand how important career fulfillment is. They come to me to get an objective view of their circumstances, to challenge their thinking around what is possible, to explore what is missing and give them confidence around what actions to take next.

This sees them gaining internal promotions, $20k+ pay uplifts and venturing into roles and industries they had dreamed of but never thought was possible before.

So if you are feeling a bit down about your current situation and not sure what next steps to take send me a DM and lets chat.

The future is brighter than you may think!!

Another call today with a great client.

This client came to me initially for assistance in getting a new role. After working together she:

✔️ found the role she was aiming for
✔️ in her preferred industry
✔️ with a nice salary increase on top

She was really excited about the new opportunity.

Five months in and the reality is much different. The role that she is being asked to do is very different from the position she was offered.

She has done all the right things. A few months in she spoke to her manager about the disconnect and was told she needs to learn the business. Fast forward another 3 months with still no change she approached her manager again in the hopes to realign her day to day work with the position she applied for only to be told there is still a lot of groundwork to do.

This is not as uncommon as you may think and is definitely not her fault at all. She reviewed the job description, researched the company and asked the right questions at the interview. She then took positive steps to realign her role when it was not as expected.

We jumped on a call to discuss how I could help her move forward as she is "miserable."

We spoke about her current reality and what she would like it to be.

In order to move forward, she needs confirmation on whether it is possible to move her current role towards the original job description. What are the conversations needed to get that clarity and how can she position them in a positive and constructive way.

If no change was possible then the decision would be made to look for another role. Once again how can she position herself in the market in a positive and constructive way as she applies for a new role.

This is the power of my VIP Intensives. We work together on a tailored solution to address your most immediate challenges to get the clarity and results you need to continue to accelerate your career.

This is merely a small bump in the road for her that we will be able to fix fairly quickly with the right conversations and positioning.

If you are facing challenges in your career and it's holding you back from achieving what you want, send me a DM. My VIP Intensives may be just what you need to take back control of your career.

We spend a full day together, face to face, away from the office and home without distractions. This day is 100% focused on you. Together we design a career roadmap, with clear action steps you need to do to achieve the success you want. All the while you have my ongoing support. I'm here to guide you and advise you but ultimately this is your journey so I ensure you have the tools and techniques to continue with the success in your career in the long term.

If you are a highly ambitious, qualified professional woman looking to add $20k+ to your salary while leading a fulfilling & rewarding career, and want personalised career advice, reach out to see how I can help.

Just jumped off a call today where we were discussing how to confidently market your skills for your next-level role.

This particular woman knows exactly what she wants next in her career but is struggling with how to position her skills and expertise confidently to obtain that next step in her career.

She has been at the same level for a while and is completely bored and unchallenged so she knows it's time for something new. She has had the opportunity in her current company to take on a more senior role temporarily while her manager was on extended leave. She really enjoyed working in that capacity, even receiving amazing feedback from senior management for the work she delivered.

This has confirmed for her she can do a more senior role however with no options available internally she has approached the market in the hope to secure her next-level role.

But it's not quite going according to plan......

When applying for roles she is not confidently showcasing herself as a more senior leader and as a result, interviews have not been coming freely. Those interviews she has attended have not resulted in a job offer as her lack of confidence in talking to any gaps in skills started raising concerns for the hiring manager.

As we dug a little deeper we also talked about the application process she is using and how this also needs a revamp as there is the opportunity for her to utilise her networks more effectively.

Through my VIP Intensive we will focus on two key areas:

💥 Building a robust application process

💥 Positioning her as a senior leader and the candidate of choice

We will build a stronger application process to give her more opportunities to secure interviews whilst at the same time she will learn how to have confident conversations, positioning her unique skills and expertise to differentiate herself in the market to land that next level role.

This is the power of one to one mentorship. Tailored solutions designed specifically for your needs with ongoing support to ensure you get results.

If you are looking to step into a more senior role and need some help positioning yourself as the best candidate send me a DM I'd love to help.

Empowering women to level up their careers is what I do!
