How to Overcome Impostor Syndrome in 30 Days23 Aug 202200:37:43

In theory, we understand that channeling your inner superhero will help you get ahead both professionally and personally. However, in practice, confidence can sometimes elude the strongest of us. There’s a lot of advice about “not being afraid to ask for what you want” but how do you actually do that? How does one build the confidence to ask for what you want especially among uncertainty when you really don’t have control of an outcome? That’s why I invited career and life coach, Leigha May, to give us actionable takeaways for not letting impostor syndrome rule our days.

What a Year of WFH Has Done to Our Relationships at Work19 Apr 202200:31:02

Do you remember a time when work included informal social interactions? There’s an official name for these interactions—social capital—or the benefits you get because of the people you know. Turns out workplaces thrive on it and can lead to lower turnover, increased performance, and an easier flow of information. So what does this mean for all us in the working world including hybrid, full-time, remote work, and returning back to the office? We’re thrilled to welcome back to the podcast Tess Vigeland to discuss the changes in work relationships and some advice for what to do.

How to Build Better Bosses11 Jan 202200:34:45

One thing we hear a lot about is how hard it is to be a boss—and how much people don’t like their bosses.

Enter today’s guest: Melissa Nightingale, now the co-founder of Raw Signal Group and co-author with Jonathan Nightingale on a new book called Unmanageable: Leadership Lessons From an Impossible Year. Melissa isn’t one of those fluffy leadership experts—she really freaking gets it and you’ll agree as you listen to this interview and her incredible advice on how we can build better bosses today—and in the future.

The Argument for the "Good Enough" Job21 Dec 202100:26:48

On today’s episode we’re discussing the argument for the  “good enough” job including 4 reasons you should seek out a job that is good enough rather than a “dream job” that you feel pressured into. And a quick listener note, this is a recycled episode from January 2021 back when our show was called The Femails. We’re replaying this episode because it was both a listener favorite and because it is full of great lessons we can take with us into 2022.

Quitting Your Job with No Plan B14 Dec 202100:42:39

On today’s episode we are re-sharing one of our favorite interviews with Tess Vigeland, author of Leap: Leaving a Job with No Plan B to Find the Career and Life You Really Want. Listen in for an honest conversation with Tess about leaving high status jobs without something impressive lined up. Seeing as many people are thinking about what’s next for them in their career, this conversation seemed timely to re-share.  I also think it’s very timely to re-share this conversation as so many people are thinking about what’s next for them in their career. Maybe that means no job. Maybe that means pursuing the good enough job. Or maybe that means staying where you are but working on your attachment between your job title and self-worth.
