Even if you're killing it in your career in consulting or finance & collecting all the 'gold stars' - the prestigious job, the multiple six-figure salary, the best projects or deals - how do you FEEL every day at work?

How do you talk to yourself when you make a mistake? How hard are you on yourself as you work towards your goals?

Most of us are not nice to ourselves at work (or in life).

But the truth is, we can achieve success in our careers in one of two ways: through pressure & internal beatdowns (i.e. the drill sergeant) OR through self-love & by having our own back (i.e. the cheerleader).

Tune into this week's episode featuring Certified Life Coach & Self-love & Confidence expert Leslie Randolph to talk about how you can achieve even MORE success in your career by being NICER to yourself in the grind at work.   

We're diving into discuss:
-What actually creates the feelings of self-love & self-confidence (hint: it's not the 'gold stars' we chase!) & how to start loving yourself more every day
-The simple steps to feel more confident in your consulting or finance career RIGHT NOW
-How to be your own cheerleader & best friend in the grind (no matter how much of a drill sergeant you've been in the past)

Thinking things will get better on the next project, next study or next deal...only to find yourself in the exact same place of burnout and frustration once again?

There are only two reasons why you don't feel better than you do at work right now.

Reason #2: you don't know how to stop overworking.

Overworking is a state of being where you're working more than is required to achieve the same results in your career that you have today. In order to stop overworking, you have to learn how to do 5 things:

1. Say no
2. Do less / simplify
3. Make decisions
4. Make mistakes (& move on)
5. Try new things

In this week's episode (Part II of a 2-part series), I'm diving in to discuss how to stop overworking, which is Step #2 of the simple, 2-step process I teach clients in my 1:1 Breaking Free from the Grind coaching program to help you feel better at work, right now.

There are only two reasons why you don't feel better than you do at work right now.

Reason #1: you don't know HOW to feel better.

Learning how to control, create & manage our feelings on the job is not something we're taught during our orientation & onboarding weeks, nor in our MBA or undergraduate programs. In fact, we're taught the opposite in finance & consulting - we're taught NOT to feel.

The new year / Q1 job shuffle is upon us.

If you find yourself making a career change - whether it's a promotion to a new role, a new job at a new firm in the same industry, or a pivot away from finance or consulting altogether, you're going to have thoughts like, "I have no idea what I'm doing" or "I'm the least experienced person on the team."

Feeling more confident & certain  - even when you're starting something brand new - doesn't happen because of what you DO in those first few days / weeks in your new role. It happens because of how you choose to THINK about the value, skills & experience you're bringing to the team.

In this week's episode, I'm diving in to talk about:
-How to feel more confident & certain when you're starting a brand new job or role
-How to second guess & doubt yourself LESS when making a career change
-How to feel less stressed & overwhelmed in your first days (& beyond) at a new firm

4o

It's that dreaded time of year in finance & consulting - the last few weeks of Q4. And this final push can feel like a f*cking nightmare.

But the constant stress, overwhelm & chaos we experience during the final weeks in December when the stakes are high, the hours are long & the last-minute client requests seem never-ending isn't always "just work" - it's often trauma.

In this week's episode, I'm talking about what trauma in the workplace is, how to know if you're experiencing trauma at work & what you can do to survive the final Q4 push. 

And to dive even deeper into the issue of trauma at work & give you more tools to survive these next few weeks, I'm sharing footage from a live collaboration I did earlier this year with my good friend, Trauma & Anxiety Coach Stephanny Perea of Holistic Psych Healing.

Your ability to create more money & wealth in your career depends on ONE thing.

And  (spoiler alert!) it's not the number of years you've worked in finance or consulting, the business courses you took in school, nor the fact that you can model & budget like the best of them.

It's your money mindset - meaning, your thoughts & beliefs about money, wealth & what's possible for you in your career.

On this week's episode, I'm diving in to talk about Getting What You Want in Your Career: Money, Wealth & a Job You Love with money mindset coach Natasha Tekeste.

In this episode, we cover:
-What money mindset actually is & why it's so important to understand
-Common money mindsets that hold us back in our careers
-Tools & strategies to feel more confident negotiating for raises, asking for promotions & going for bigger career opportunities
-How to create more money & wealth in your career while having a job you love

Feeling more confused & less fulfilled about your career post-MBA than you were going in?

Thinking about going back to school & getting an MBA but wondering if it's *really* worth it?

Constantly comparing yourself (& your resume) to everyone in your Section, Cluster or Cohort & thinking you're not as good as all your other MBA classmates?

Whether you have an MBA, are getting your MBA right now or are considering going back to school, you don't want to miss this week's episode.

Join my good friends, fellow coaches & MBAs Michelle Yu (Duke 2016) and Sara Lim (INSEAD 2019) to talk about what it takes to break out of 'MBA brain' &  go after what you REALLY want.

We're sharing our own stories about what we had to learn & - more importantly - UNLEARN during our MBA journeys & as we left our highly sought-after post-MBA careers in banking, private equity, consulting & tech to create the careers & lives we truly wanted.

We also talk about how coaching played a vital role in helping each of us manage our 'MBA brains' to:
- Figure out what we want & develop the confidence to go after it
- Manage the fear of failure & judgment from others & do something that's different from "the norm"
- Overcome "compare & despair" syndrome with MBA classmates & colleagues
- Learn how to ditch self-doubt & Impostor Syndrome & let go of the things that were holding us back

Stuck trying to figure out what to do next in your career?

In this week's episode, I'm breaking down the 3 most common thoughts my clients in finance & consulting have that keep them stuck - living fire drill to fire drill  - in unfulfilling & frustrating roles.

Your brain is an incredible bullish*t detector.

And it's so easy to be highly skeptical & cynical that you could EVER feel better in the grind (helloooo, Litquidity, crazymgmtconsultants, et al. ) if your entire career has consisted of 80+ hour work works & the ubiquitous 'pls fix.'

In order to feel better in the grind & create new results in your career, you have to learn how to think & believe new things.

But chanting positive mantras & trying to 'force' yourself into believing something new isn't going to work. You actually have to BELIEVE what you are telling yourself - and this new mindset has to be stronger & more powerful than the old mindset that's been running your life & career in finance or consulting for years.

In this week's episode, I break down the simple process of how to 1) ACTUALLY believe new things, & 2) build & strengthen this new mindset so you can feel better in the grind & create new results in your career - without bullsh*tting your brain or deluding yourself into thinking everything at work will feel like rainbows & butterflies all of the time.

Your ability to break free from the grind of finance or consulting is determined by one thing that no undergrad degree, MBA program, nor orientation week has ever taught you - the ability to learn how to believe new things.

Learning how to believe new things - about your career, yourself & what's possible for you - is a skill.

And how good you are at developing this ONE skill will determine whether you actually break free from the grind of finance or consulting - regardless if that means finally leaving your job after months (or years...) of saying you would OR improving your relationship with your current job and deciding to stay.

In this week's episode, I'm breaking down the simple, 2-step process I teach my clients to develop the skill of learning how to believe new things  so that they can create the results they want in their careers and ACTUALLY break free from the grind of finance or consulting for good.

The ONLY thing you need to guarantee you'll create a successful career in finance or consulting (& beyond) isn't the bullets on your resume, glowing 360-reviews or who you know from the country club.

It's having a mindset of guaranteed success - the ultimate insurance policy for creating ANY result you want in your career.

And the first step to developing a mindset of guaranteed success is taking 100% responsibility for your own results.

In this week's episode, I explain the step-by-step process I use with my 1:1 clients to teach them how to develop a mindset of guaranteed success in their own careers in finance & consulting (& beyond). I also share the thoughts & behaviors I notice in my clients who consistently create the success & results they want in their careers (& lives), over and over again.

How often do you beat yourself at work when you make a mistake? How frequently do you compare yourself to others or feel competitive with your coworkers? How many lunch breaks, bio breaks, or dinners with family and friends have you skipped because something "urgent" came up at work? 

Here's a fun fact - high performers struggle to be nice to themselves at work. But the truth is, the NICER you are to yourself in your demanding corporate role, the more sustainable success you will create in your career (not to mention the better you will feel every day at work and the indispensable you'll be to your company, clients, and teams). 

🎙 This episode will help you shift from all the ways you're being mean to yourself at work (that are holding you back in your career) to being NICER to yourself every day in the office. 

In this episode:

• Stop beating yourself up and move on from mistakes on the job
• Stop comparing yourself to colleagues, putting yourself down, and discrediting or downplaying your abilities
• Start putting YOURSELF FIRST, before your job (so you actually take that bio break...)
