Career Strategies for Women that Work – Details, episodes & analysis

I'm thrilled to share with you a new chapter in my journey. After years of chasing external achievements, I've realized that real growth comes from within. Despite my accomplishments in the tech industry, authoring books, and researching women in the workplace, I found myself yearning for something more profound, more meaningful.

I hit a personal wall, and it led me to a path of self-discovery and seeking. This journey has been so transformative that I've penned down my experiences and key findings in a new book. One of the most significant revelations was the "I should" mindset. It's a trap that many of us fall into, but the real magic happens when we align our time and actions with our true goals.

And now, I'm excited to announce my new podcast and community, "Together We Seek." It's a space where we can continue this journey of self-discovery together, learning from each other's experiences and growing as a collective.

I'm incredibly grateful for your support and would love to personally chat with anyone interested in discussing this further. So, come join me, let's seek together.

You can find me at www.TogetherWeSeek.Online where I hope you join the live discussions and community!

Are you feeling guilty about taking time off from work? In this episode of 'Career Strategies for Women that Work,' JJ DiGeronimo dives into the challenges women face when it comes to taking Personal Time Off (PTO) and shares valuable strategies for creating boundaries and making the most of your time off.

JJ understands the guilt that many women experience, even when they have earned their vacation days. She emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and creating space for yourself to disconnect and recharge. Drawing from her own personal experience, JJ shares how she had to ask for permission and ended up working during her vacation. But she reminds us that we are worth taking time for ourselves and deserve to enjoy our vacation guilt-free.

And if you are looking for some adventure with other women, JJ shares the idea of an exciting bike tour with women in her network, where traveling together can create space for themselves to take time off.

Happy Holidays. Today is a really special episode because it reflects back on 30 years ago when I gained some insight into my life's work.

So hopefully this story from chapter 20 and Chapter 21 of Seeking will give you a glimpse of your life's work. Have a wonderful holiday season and I'll see you in 2023.

It is good to have perspective so when things do not unfold as planned you have some reserve energy!

Can you think of the last time you were told no or can you think of a project or initiative where every door was closed? It’s not easy, as many of us are told NO, so often, whether it's at home in our communities, or even at work. 

No, seems to be such a popular thing, and it comes in so many ways, and oftentimes it can really deplete us and kick off our stories that say, I'm not ready. Who am I? What was I thinking? These self-reflecting questions can really slow us down or even cause us to create a detour or a workaround. 

I am looking forward to sharing some of the strategies I used to create my own Yes!

She believes that feminine leadership is what the world needs right now, and having previously led a team of engineers to create an award-winning culture, she knows a thing or two about it.

When nudged by the Universe to write this book, my initial response was I’m not ready. That was followed with I still have more to learn. Yet after each women’s event where I was invited to present, I would share some of these insights and exercises, and the noticeable interest was reassuring, validating that women were ready to talk more about their self-doubts and fears. They were ready to be more vulnerable and more vocal about what they needed and what they desired. I saw this engagement as permission to share my journey, even if it expanded beyond career books, skill assessments, and emotional intelligence tests. 

The conversations and experiences in these pages go beyond the professional and corporate strategies I have previously shared with my readers and communities. So, if you are familiar with my work, you may initially be surprised, yet I have found that I needed to go beyond the traditional methods of leadership for women to understand my internal barriers and gain new levels of insight.
