Episode #59 - Leaving a Legacy: How Executives & Senior Leaders Can Fix the Leaking Pipeline for The Next Generation of Female Leadership

 

Not only are there not enough talented, skilled, early-career professional women making it to the next leadership level, but we also saw the most significant drop in the percentage of women going from mid- to senior-level positions than we've seen in years. So when organizations can't even hold on to the female leaders they have, what does that say about the women following behind? And what impact on an organization's bottom lines and competitiveness in the open marketplace? Today on the podcast, I'm sharing highlights from my International Women's Day talk with some female executive leaders, focusing on the key steps leaders must take to create and leave a legacy.

 

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

 

  • Why creating a legacy matters.
  • Why it’s a “check engine” light moment for organizations
  • What organizations need to stop doing and why
  • Steps can take to fix the pipeline and create a legacy.
  • How to overcome objections to taking innovative action

You can be a leader in many ways without having a formal leadership title, particularly if you're more concerned about the impact you can make in your organization or the world than your title.

Fixing the "Broken Rung:" Replacing the Career Ladder with a Career Lattice to Advance Career Mobility - Episode #5609 Mar 202300:17:26

Episode #56 - Fixing the "Broken Rung:" Replacing the Career Ladder with a Career Lattice to Advance Career Mobility

 

In traditional organizations, career advancement has often followed a linear path that resembles a ladder. It was created out of a need for standardized career paths and structured career development programs. But let's face it, the career ladder has worked better for men than it ever has for women, and since it's clear that for women, there's always been a "broken rung" on that latter, it's time for a new approach…the career lattice. On the podcast today, we'll talk about why the career lattice is the best choice to advance the career mobility of women in the workplace.

 

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

 

  • Where the career ladder came from.
  • What's a career lattice, and how does it work.
  • The theoretical origins of the career lattice.
  • The benefits of a career lattice for organizations and women.
  • How to implement a career lattice approach to career mobility.
  • Potential obstacles and strategies to overcome them.
  • The impact of this approach.

Why Organizational Leaders Need to Tap into The Power of Executive Masterminds - Episode #5502 Mar 202300:19:11

Episode #55 - Why Organizations Need to Tap into The Power of Executive Masterminds

I LOVE supporting professional women in midlife, fearlessly navigating or reinventing their careers, and gaining unstoppable confidence in the process. I also love when our company gets the chance to work within organizations committed to creating cultures of trust, safety, and inclusive leadership for their clients and stakeholders and the women and women of color within those organizations because it's at that intersection of authentic trust, sustainable accountability, and inclusive leadership that organizations can unlock innovation and drive creativity that always yields greater productivity and profit. In today's episode, I'm sharing more about our corporate work and why executive masterminds can provide a solution to the current pipeline and talent development challenges organizations face around women and women of color leaders.

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

  • The significant challenges organizations are currently facing around women in the workplace.
  • The "check engine light" warning signs leaders are dealing with right now.
  • The typical solutions organizations are using that need to be fixed.
  • Why organizations can't handle these issues and why using the "big" consulting firms won't really give them the results they seek.
  • What it takes to build a sustainable pipeline: Masterminds.
  • The massive costs of waiting or ignoring the problem.

Is Coaching For You? - Episode #4715 Dec 202200:18:11

Episode #47 - Is Coaching For You?

 

Coaching has evolved over the years. In the past, hiring a career coach meant that your performance was deficient and needed some improvement, so the focus was all on rehabilitation. Over time, executive coaches became popular as a developmental tool to help high-potential leaders earmarked for promotion fine-tune their skills and position themselves for success. While people still use career coaches to land their next job and update their resumes, today, smart, savvy careerists seek the support of an executive or life coach. Today on the podcast, I'm discussing whether coaching is right for you.

 

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

 

  • The evolution of coaching.
  • Ways you can use coaching.
  • What coaching is not.
  • How coaching can enhance your career.
  • What to look for in a coach.
  • The frameworks I use in my coaching practice.

Quiet Quitting, the Great Breakup, and What it Means for Women Leaders - Episode #4424 Nov 202200:21:40

Episode #44 - Quiet Quitting, the Great Breakup, and What it Means for Women Leaders

 

Quiet quitting is a term that became popular in late summer to describe folks who have decided to do the bare minimum to get by without any extra effort. But what are the causes of quiet quitting? How is it related to the Great Breakup, where women leaders are increasingly leaving their jobs because they're not getting what they need from their employers? Is inclusivity an illusion? There's a call for organizations to not only provide space and opportunity but to create cultures that speak to the values and needs of women in the workplace. Today on the podcast, we're discussing all of these issues and what women leaders can do to position themselves for what they want and/or their organizations to create true and lasting change. 

 

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

 

  • What quiet quitting is and why it's not really a new phenomenon.
  • What the Great Breakup is all about and its impact on women leaders and organizations.
  • Dealing with the duality of both when they're both at play.
  • Four things women leaders can do if personally dealing with either of these issues.
  • Three new approaches employers can consider to counter the effects of quiet quitting and the Great Breakup.

Client Spotlight: How Dr. Jae Sevelius Went From Stuck & Comfortable to Making an Empowered Career Move - Episode #3822 Sep 202200:41:03

Episode #38 - Client Spotlight: How Dr. Jae Sevelius Went From Stuck & Comfortable to Making an Empowered Career Move

 

We’ve been raised to follow prescribed ideas of our career paths. Go to a good school, get your degree, get in with a great organization, climb that ladder to its highest heights and then retire. But like so many who follow that path, they often abandon any ideas of doing worth that expands their mind, fuels their passion, positions their authority, aligns with their life and values, and brings genuine fulfillment and happiness. Today on the podcast, my client Dr. Jae Sevelius shares how they took control of their career and made an empowered career move.

 

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

 

  • Why trying to find “career distractions” won’t get you career fulfillment.
  • Why repeating your old success formula won’t get you what you want.
  • How the self-discovery process opened Jae up to greater opportunities.
  • How they found an aligned position that valued all they had to offer.
  • How the Career Rebel Academy gave them the tools and courage to say yes when the universe opened doors for them.
  • Why having a coach is so critical to growing and developing in your career.
  • That leveling up requires you to move out of your comfort zone.
  • Advice for those considering the Career Rebel Academy.

How Vanessa Murphy Went from the Royal Navy to Building a Multipassionate Coaching Career - Episode #3425 Aug 202200:47:29

Episode #34 - How Vanessa Murphy Went from the Royal Navy to a Multipassionate Coach and Consultant

The more I listen to other people talk about their career paths and journeys to the work they're doing today, the more I see familiar themes integral to success. That includes taking the time to figure out what's right for you; it's by no means a rush job. You need to gain a deeper awareness of who you are outside of the noise and messages around you, and then you must build self-confidence to achieve what you want. You also need to learn how to do two critical things: (a) ignore the haters and naysayers (even if they're in your own head) and (b) do what's right for you! In today's podcast, our guest Vanessa Murphy shares her journey from the Royal Navy to embracing her multiple career interests in designing her career.

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

  • Vanessa's journey to the her current career.
  • What she learned about herself through her career experiences.
  • How she leverages her experience in the military to inform her work today.
  • That career happiness does not have to be found in ONE job or career.
  • What it takes to go after what you want for your life and career.

About Our Guest:

Vanessa Murphy is the Founder of VM Coaching and the Women in Confidence Podcast, where she enables women to be their truly brilliant and confident selves at work. In addition to running her own confidence coaching practice, Vanessa also offers HR and Organization Development Consulting to corporations.

Dump Your Degree & Get to the Career You Want with Zakiya Akerele - Episode #3211 Aug 202200:31:20

Episode #32 - Dump Your Degree & Transition to the Career You Want with Dr. Zakiya Akerele

I often talk about the "sunk cost fallacy." It's a term from behavioral economics that describes our tendency to follow through on or stick with something that we've already invested a perceived large amount of time, effort, or money into it, whether or not we're still receiving a return on that investment. This stems from a loss aversion or the belief that everything you worked for will be lost. It's the thing that keeps us trapped in careers we no longer love. So, for example, if you've spent years, time, and money getting your law, medical, doctorate, MBA, MPH, or engineering degrees, it becomes very challenging for you to believe or even entertain the idea that you can do something else outside of those degrees. In today's podcast, our guest Dr. Zakyia Akerele shares how you don't have to be held captive by or defined by the degrees you've earned and how you can leverage that education and experience to figure out the right career for you. 

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover… 

  • Why a degree won't guarantee you career success, and what can.
  • How experimenting with different jobs can get you clarity on the career you really want.
  • How midlife (mid-career) professionals can repurpose their education.
  • Why "who you know" is as important as "what you know to have career success.
  • Why you need a support system and should not try to do this alone.
  • How to manage fears and doubts when going after the career and life you really want. 

Featured On the Show: 

 About Our Guest: 

Dr. Zakiya Akerele is an Atlanta-based educator, author, and speaker who found an early passion in academic pursuits hoping to use them to improve herself and the world around her. She sought higher education with full force, obtaining degrees from Florida A&M University (B.A.), Columbia University (Ed.M.), and Fordham University(M.A. and Ph.D.) in International Education, Philosophy, and Religious Studies. Dr. Akerele has served in various capacities at higher education institutions and at social justice, political, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) both in the U.S. and abroad.

Her new book, Dump Your Degree, is a timely and invaluable resource for anyone seeking guidance on navigating higher education, developing their career, and having financial security.

How to Open Yourself Up to New & Exciting Career Opportunities with Casey Hasten - Episode #3104 Aug 202200:50:37

Episode #31 - How to Open Yourself Up to New & Exciting Career Options with Guest Casey Hasten

Over the years of my work in this space, I’ve found four levels of careerists: Drifter, Hustler, Established. and Rebel. Unfortunately, many people are caught at the Hustler level (running on autopilot, blindly following a societal career ladder) or Established (working hard to maintain everything achieved after years of hustling). At both of these levels, what keeps women stuck are two things: (1) believing there’s no other path to pursue and (2) “settling for good enough.” In today’s podcast, our guest Casey Hasten shares how she broke out of that Hustler/Established level and opened up a new and exciting world that has allowed her to continue growing and evolving in her career.

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

  • Casey’s midlife career pivot journey.
  • Why knowing yourself is an essential component of finding career fulfillment.
  • The power of having people to support you and your career decisions.
  • The importance of testing out career options and what it can do for you.
  • How the job search process has changed in the new world of work.
  • The best way to work with recruiters.
  • Why now is a good time for a midlife career change.
  • How to figure out the best career path for you.

Featured On the Show:

Quotables From the Show:

  • “Being ‘at choice’ means being present and in the moment, open to the opportunities that may come your way.”
  • “Say goodbye to times that no longer serve you.”
  • “Enjoy the journey, not just the destination.”
  • “What people think about you is not your business.”

About Our Guest:

Casey Hasten is the Director of Recruiting and Coaching with VIP, Podcast Host of the We Are VIP Podcast and soon-to-be-published author.   After being in the accounting world for over twenty years, she made the leap to recruiting those with similar backgrounds.  It is her goal to help others find their career passion using all the skills and networking outlets she has gathered. Additionally, her mission is to help raise the consciousness of the world by helping those she touches learn to be at choice.  To accomplish this mission, she focuses on the importance of mindset first and foremost and teaches her clients how to live “at choice” and how to co-create their own reality through managing perceptions.  This has led to her most recent passion and project, the Awaken: Your Potential journal.

When considering a career transition or pivot, the best way to ensure you land exactly where you want is to run a career pilot study. A career pilot allows you to gather data to help you determine if you're on the right track with your career change or reinvention or if you need to chart a new course. In this episode, I'm going to teach you to conduct a career pilot study before jumping into something new. It's another way to regret-proof your career decision.

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

  •  What’s a career pilot study
  •  Why they’re a great approach to figuring out what you want
  •  The 3-step process to conduct a career pilot study
  •  Why some choose not to do a career pilot study
  •  Where to get support to conduct your own career pilot study

How to Regret-Proof Your Decisions - Episode #2823 Jun 202200:24:57

Episode 27 - How to Regret-Proof Your Decisions

Research has found there are two types of regret: regret for what you didn't do or missed opportunities or experiences and regret for what you did. While, over time, people get over the things they've done, those who regret what they didn't do have a lingering regret because they imagine what they missed as being better than what they have. Letting go of regret is admittedly easier said than done, but living in regret is far worse damaging to your health and your ability to trust yourself. This week on the podcast, I'm talking about the connection between fear, decision-making, and regret and how you can manage it.

 

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

  •  What is regret?
  •  The types of regret people struggle with.
  •  What regret does to us and our ability to trust ourselves.
  •  The underlying assumptions of regret.
  •  Why it's important to let go of the binary idea of right or wrong decisions.
  •  How to deal with regret.
  •  Accept that life is 50/50 and redefine failure.

It's Time to Slay Imposter Syndrome - Episode #2716 Jun 202200:29:30

Episode 27 - It’s Time to Slay Imposter Syndrome

Some of the most successful people in the world have suffered from a fraud complex or a secret fear that they'll be exposed or found out that they're terrible at what they do. In fact, studies show that over 70% of people are dealing with this. This affliction is commonly known as imposter syndrome. Amy Cuddy has described it as "the deep and sometimes paralyzing belief we have been given something we didn't earn and don't deserve and that at some point we'll be exposed." This week on the podcast, I'm sharing how we fall victim to the effects of imposter syndrome and walk you through the five types of imposter syndrome women commonly struggle with.

 

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

  •  Where imposter syndrome comes from and why women are its primary victims.
  •  The various thought errors that occur with imposter syndrome.
  •  The different types of imposter syndrome.
  •  Ways to overcome your version of imposter syndrome.
  •  The importance of having cellular level confidence in yourself and your abilities. 
  •  How to slay imposter syndrome.

  •  Michelangelo: "If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful after all." 
  •  Mike Myers: "I still believe that at any time, the No-Talent Police will come and arrest me."
  •  Les Brown: "Ask for help. Not because you're weak. But because you want to remain strong."

Why You Need to Negotiate Your Salary...Always Episode #2502 Jun 202200:24:28

Episode 25 - Why You Need to Negotiate Your Salary…Always

 After years of negotiating employment contracts, settlements for discrimination lawsuits, and multi-million dollar labor/bargaining unit agreements as an attorney, I've learned firsthand the power of negotiating. Women who regularly negotiate are likely to get higher salary offers and more raises. Negotiating also allows you to shape your job to suit your interests and talents, ensuring you're working in your zone of genius, leading to greater satisfaction at work. But it's no secret that women and women of color in the US experience the gender wage gap most severely making it imperative that women learn how and when to negotiate. On the podcast today, I’m sharing some essential information to help give you the confidence to negotiate successfully.

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

  • The societal and economic context surrounding women and salary negotiations.
  • Why you need to know when you have the most leverage in the job search process.
  • Why you need to do your research before the interview process.
  • Where to find the information you need to negotiate.
  • What you need to know about what the employer is thinking during this process.
  • Why you need to be clear on what you want and what you have to offer to be successful.

Unmasking Patriarchy & Internalized Oppression Episode #2319 May 202200:34:06

Episode 23 - Unmasking Patriarchy & Internalized Oppression

It's not uncommon for high-achieving women to look successful and accomplished on paper while still secretly feeling like an imposter or trapped by their own success. As a result, they're often unable to fully appreciate their accomplishments, realize their power, show up authentically, or feel free and fulfilled. Along with other competing narratives, the effects of living in a patriarchal system and the trauma of internalized oppression are potent contributors. On the podcast today, we're having a conversation about these issues and providing suggested acts of liberation to break free and rise above these limiting systems so you can have the career and life you want.

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

  • What patriarchy and internalized oppression is and how it manifests.
  • Why you struggle with feeling successful despite your achievements.
  • How to spot when it's playing out in your life and what you can do about it.
  • How to identify and reject the myths developed by the patriarchy.
  • Why create a safe space to do this work in the Career Rebel Academy.

Episode 22: Finding Power When You Feel Powerless w/Deepa Purushothaman

 What happens when you're in a leadership position or a position of power, but you struggle with owning that title, that authority? How do you feel, find, and forge it when you've been conditioned not to? In midlife, most women go through an honest reckoning, a fundamental questioning of self and what's important to them and how they want to be in the world but rarely have the tools and process to discover the answers to those critical questions. Today on the podcast, my guest shares her research with other 500 women of color in unique and influential positions in corporate America but still struggle to find their full authentic voice. Women of color who have muted themselves or conformed to external expectations are now in search of not only redefining power but securing their own.

 In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

  • What it means to hold positions of power as women of color.
  • How to identify the delusions that hold us back and how to overcome them. 
  • Why it’s critical to permit yourself to go after what you want. 
  • What to do when faced with naysayers.
  • Why it’s essential to be part of a community of support.
  • The questions to ask yourself to reclaim your voice and power.

Trusting Yourself - Episode #2105 May 202200:34:06

Episode 21: Trusting Yourself

Trusting yourself is the ability to listen to your own voice, intuition, and internal wisdom, make a decision, and then take action based upon that, trusting that whatever decision you make and action you take, it's the right action and decision for you. There is nothing more empowering than being confident in your decision-making abilities, but it's not something many of us are skilled at doing. Too often, we look to what others think. But when we look for others to tell us what to do, we inhibit our ability to learn how to trust ourselves. In the Career Rebel Academy, we don't tell you what to do; instead, we give you the tools you need to build your confidence in your ability to make the right decisions for you. In this episode, you'll learn why relying will get you the career and life you want. 

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

  • What it means to trust yourself.
  • What happens when you look to others to tell you what to do.

Trusting Yourself Through the Transition with Diane Halfman - Episode #1931 Mar 202200:33:43

Episode 19: Trusting Yourself Through the Transition with Diane Halfman 

According to the American Institute of Stress, changing careers is the top 20 most  stressful life events. So how do you handle a career change when it's unexpectedly  forced on you? First, you have to learn to trust yourself and know that all of your  experience and everything you've gone through has happened for a reason. It  happened to prepare you for what's next. And now it's time to trust that when we're  put on a new path, you owe it to yourself to explore what's showing up and discover  your unique purpose to be here in the world that no one else can do better than you.  That's exactly what my guest Diane Halfman had to do when she shattered her gun  hand after being an undercover police officer and began exploring a new career path  as a speaker, trainer, and consultant.  

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…  

  • Diane’s journey from undercover cop to productivity consultant.

Believing in What's Possible - Episode #1824 Mar 202200:16:00

Episode 18: Believing in What's Possible

How do you know what's possible for you in your life or career? How do you know it's achievable? I've found that the reason we struggle with believing what's possible is because of fear. More specifically, I think the culprit is that many of us suffer from having a victim mentality. What I mean by that is that we don't want to deal with our feelings of fear, take responsibility for ourselves or the outcome we want in our lives and careers. It's scary because what if it doesn't work? Who will we blame? And if we're to blame, what does that say about who we are and what we can achieve? However, there's a way to overcome victim mentality, to start believing and achieving what's possible, and we're unpacking that today on the podcast.

 In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

  •  Why we struggle with victim mentality.
  •  Where victim mentality comes from.
  •  How it keeps us stuck and unable to move forward.
  •  How managing our emotions can help us break through victim mentality.
  •  Why vulnerability and embracing imperfection is key to getting what you want.

Navigating Your Life and Career with Liz Bronson and Kathleen Troyer - Episode #1717 Mar 202200:54:24

Episode 17: Navigating Your Life and Career with Liz Bronson & Kathleen Troyer 

By the time you've reached midlife, you've taken a few twists and turns in your life and  career. Too often, we try to bifurcate our lives and jobs as if one has no impact upon  the other, but that's impossible. You can't completely separate the different areas of  your life. They are interconnected. Your job and career affect your personal life, and  the individual decisions you make in life will impact your job and career. Today, our  guests on the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, Liz Bronson and Kathleen Nelson Troyer,  hosts of the Real Job Talk Podcast, share their own life and career journeys and the  wisdom they gleaned along the way.  

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover… 

  •  Liz and Kathleen's career journeys.  
  •  The power of having clarity about what you want to do.  
  •  Why learning to say no helps you become clearer about what to say yes to. 
  •  How to embrace getting uncomfortable to get to what you want. 
  •  Why listening to your own voice is so important.  
  •  The magic that comes from women working together in community.
