Hey everyone! 👋 I've been on quite the journey behind the scenes, and I'm thrilled to share my latest project with you. 🌟

Introducing "Leadership Beyond Technical" - my very first digital training course! 🎉

In this course, I've poured my heart and soul into equipping you with the skills you need to not only understand yourself better but also engage with the right people in the right way. 🤝

Ever been in a situation where you're not sure if the problem you're facing is technical or adaptive? 🤔 I've been there too! And some work environments want to treat everything as a technical problem that can be solved on a timeline.

This course will help you identify those distinctions and give you the tools to tackle them head-on. (Hint: That one ugly problem that keeps coming back to the surface every few years.....that's not a technical problem) 😉

One of the most powerful aspects of this course is learning how to communicate effectively across multiple personality types. 🗣️

We'll explore strategies to ensure your message resonates with everyone, making you a more effective leader in any context.

I've poured countless hours into this project, and I can't wait to share it with you all. It's a labor of love, and I truly believe it will make a difference in your professional journey.

Stay tuned for more updates, including the course launch date! 📆 I can't wait to embark on this learning journey with all of you.

Thank you for your support and stay tuned for more details! Let's take our leadership skills to the next level.

Cheers!

I hate hustle-culture, and yet, here I am!

Life has thrown me quite the juggling act lately, and I'm sure many of you can relate. 🤹‍♂️

Between coordinating my kids' field trips, cheering on their sports games, recording a podcast 🎙️, preparing a workshop, staying on top of social media trends, preparing for an exam, and job-hunting for that all-important benefits package, it's been a whirlwind!

But, you know what? In the midst of this chaos, I'm being reminded of a few things (that I'm still trying to do well):

1️⃣ Prioritize and Schedule: A solid schedule is my lifeline! Plan your day, allocate time to what matters most, and stick to it.

2️⃣ Good enough is good: Not everything needs to be perfect, so choose what can be good enough

3️⃣ Lean on Your Support System: Whether it's a partner, a friend, or a support group, don't hesitate to ask for help or lean on others when you need it.

4️⃣ Self-Care is Non-Negotiable: Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. 🍵 Take some time for self-care to recharge your batteries.

5️⃣ Keep Your Eye on the Prize: While it may be challenging now, remember why you're doing all of this. Benefits, opportunities, and making sure my kids know they're my top priority!

So, to all my fellow super-parents and multitaskers out there, keep your chin up! We're in this together, and we're unstoppable. 💪

Guess what I did?!?

I finally finished recording, editing and listing my podcast on all channels!

Well, I'm still waiting for Apple to finish their "process" but I decided I'm not waiting for them just to share my happy news.

Mind you, I didn't just make a podcast.

I overcame some SERIOUS self-doubt and negative internal dialogue for this to happen.

In the end, it was fun (except the editing part) and I'm looking forward to many more episodes.

Who knew I loved talking and sharing my strong opinions so much ;)

I talk about the , about , about , and all things that come with being in male-dominated spaces.

The podcast that sheds light on women's remarkable stories and struggles in male-dominated industries from tech to welding, science to politics and beyond.

This project was SO intimidating! I've knitted and crocheted for 17 years and it's been a long time since there was something new for me to learn.
This yarn was so different that I had to Google how to even get started.
It's a reminder to never get cozy in our knowledge.

Happy International Women's Day!

If you think this is something nice to send to your team....

please don't!

We're not adorable (that's insulting and demeaning)

And we're not always seen as nice when we have to make tough decisions.

I actually know a manager who sent this to his whole team on this day many years ago.

I wasn't on his team but it made it's way to me because everyone knew what my reaction would be.

Don't be that person 🛑

Enjoy this day and celebrate the powerful women on your team.🎉

And hopefully you didn't make them do all the planning, prep, and baking for a their own event today. 😏
