Build Your Brave Career for Women in Tech – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Can you love your colleagues enough to let them experience the consequences of their behavior?

Women in tech are great at solving problems. But sometimes we leap in to protect others from their errors and shoulder burdens that aren’t ours. It slows down our careers and increases our stress. 

This episode unpacks how stepping back, setting boundaries, and trusting others to handle their responsibilities empowers not just your colleagues but also yourself. You’ll hear real-world strategies to navigate these situations with courage, kindness, and clarity.

Key Takeaways:

• How societal conditioning impacts women in tech.
• Why rescuing others is not the same as being a team player or leader.
• The power of discomfort as a catalyst for growth.
• How respecting others’ growth creates space for your own.

You matter. 
Especially during difficult events: 

• Choosing to bravely recognize and believe in your inherent worth is brave. 
• Deciding that your voice deserves to be heard, that your dreams, goals, career, relationships, and money matter is brave. 
• Getting and staying involved in building the community, career, life, and world you desire is brave.

This week I address the emotional fallout after the most recent US elections. This is a dedicated brave space for women in tech who are grappling with emotions ranging from sadness to anger, fear, and betrayal. Wherever you are, know that your feelings are valid and that you matter.

I share some of two of the quotes helping me through this time: 

• “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.” -Star Trek
•  “I never lose. I either win or I learn.” -Nelson Mandela

I also share a small slice of how my family's past drives my commitment to making brave choices for a better future.

This episode is a powerful reminder to embrace your inherent worth, your right to feel, and your right to take up space in the world. 

Remember: you matter.

Listener Question: I'm in a "safe job" but this "safe job" is so boring. What do I do? 
Let’s work through a career dilemma: feeling bored at a "safe" job right in a time of mass lay-offs. In this episode I share actionable strategies to navigate boredom and rediscover engagement in your career.

• First, I urge a reevaluation to ensure your current situation is as secure as you think. 
• Then, we examine the root of your boredom. It might not be what you think it is: it is essential to differentiate between genuine disengagement and your unexpected response to reduced stress.
• Finally, I explore practical ways to stay stimulated, both in and outside of your job.

Listeners Question: Nicole answers a listener question: how to deal with unspecific feedback. The listener shared the following information:

“My manager told me to be strategic. I’ve asked a number of times what he means because I already think I am strategic in my role. He agrees every time I share an example of what I think is strategic that I’m already doing. But his feedback doesn’t change and he also doesn’t raise my salary or support my promotion. What do I do in this situation?”
