Are you resisting opportunities for success? Here's how to overcome that

I notice that many women are resistant to seeking out or saying yes to opportunities that will take them to the next level of success. I hear them say things like, "I'm not ready" and "Let me get another certification first." They also are often reluctant to accept offers to increase visibility such as board positions, media interviews, and other leadership opportunities, yet I notice they say YES to more work without more pay, more responsibilities without recognition, and "

Permission to Begin

I've been getting a lot of "Who said you could do that..." questions from women recently. For example, I was speaking at an author's conference recently to an audience of readers and book lovers. A woman raised her hand tentatively during the question and answer session. We made eye contact and I could see how hesitant she was feeling. She began by sharing that she had earned a degree in journalism followed by a master's degree in creative writing, and then she began to stam

Having trouble saying no? Here's how I overcame the YES syndrome.

WARNING: Learning to say no to the things that don't serve you may result in unfamiliar peaceful feelings as well as an acceleration in productivity. There was a time in my life when I said yes to almost everything. Not because I felt obligated, but because I enjoyed being involved, active, and needed. I was very proud of my busy life, my jammed calendar, and my "importance" to others. When others depended on my expertise, energy, and enthusiasm it made me feel worthwhile and

Let's not be scattered, frantic or hectic this week.

If you have my book Women Lead, you already know that chapter nine is entirely dedicated to how to shift yourself out of frantic, hectic, and drama-filled to enjoying a life filled with intention. In that chapter, I share seven tips for intentional leadership. In this week's episode, we discuss tip #7, learning how to trust yourself AND trust your team. This is a leadership challenge for many women. If you struggle with overwhelm, have an over-booked calendar, experience Sund

It's time to take back control of conversations and meetings. Here's how.

Last week I got to be with two different groups of women, one in Atlanta, Georgia, and one in Ohio. I was teaching one of my most popular presentations, Confident Communication. Women continually tell me that the list of phrases I give them to use when they get interrupted, talked over, or conversationally bullied has become one of their favorite success tools. I've spent years of my life sitting in meetings as a social worker and community leader listening and watching as pe

Beware of this sneaky trick that keeps you from enjoying success

Have you ever found yourself excited about a really good idea and then notice that you talk yourself right out of it? This is called RESISTANCE, Self-Sabotage or being "BLOCKED". It's a way that the brain attempts to keep you safe from things like exposure, not fitting in, criticism, judgment, risk, etc. If you're not careful, resistance can rob you of success. I've noticed the women I work with often resist ideas by saying things like this: "That will be really hard work." "

Goodbye Inner Critic

Goodbye Inner Critic

The interesting thing about your inner critic is that it says things to you and about you that you would NEVER say to someone else. One of my favorite quotes of all time and some of the best advice I've ever given about this topic is this: I wrote this little love note to myself more than ten years ago and had it on my bedroom mirror for a long long time. If you struggle with constantly criticizing yourself, please print this photo (link below) and remind yourself of this tru

Someone pushed me right out of my comfort zone and look what happened!

Each week I have the pleasure of helping women step out of their comfort zones. These women want to grow their business, be seen, and make a difference but many of them are stuck and struggling with resistance, hesitation, perfectionism, and the constant worry of what others will think. Guess what? I used to be the same! I kept myself small and safe until a family friend volunteered me for a community leadership position leadership with the neighborhood athletic association.

Would You Like Help Learning to Say NO? Here's How I Did It.

Do you keep saying YES to people who ask you for your time and talent even though you have no time to help them? Do you feel exhausted and depleted but still allow yourself to volunteer for more work or additional responsibilities? Do you continue to do work, homework, housekeeping, and errands for people who should be doing these things themselves? This will NEVER contribute to your abundance. For most of my life, I said yes to every request. Let's face it, high-functioning

Going through a rough time? I made this video for you to watch.

These past months have been stressful for most, incredibly challenging for many, and really difficult for others. Some people wonder if things will ever get easy again. They will. Your life challenges will vary from cloudy days to full-on hurricanes. Over an entire lifetime, most of us will have many more sunny days than stormy ones, but when you are grieving or struggling with the challenges and disappointments in life it doesn't seem that way. During my life I have had a fe

Do you need to be on social media more than you already are? MAYBE NOT!

When it comes to visibility, I prefer you be more in-demand than more visible. If you are like some of my clients and have been saying things like this: Should I be on Tick-Tok? I need to do more Insta-Reels and Stories! I don't have a clubhouse following, HELP! My Facebook page needs more followers. I need to create a business page on LinkedIn I should blog more often. then please watch this week's episode of Monday Morning Mastermind before you "should" yourself with anythi

What to do When Someone COPIES or STEALS Your Ideas

Having your work or ideas copied is very frustrating. When this happens (it will), you will find yourself feeling surprised, hurt, betrayed, even embarrassed and upset with yourself. Whether it's your original creative works or an idea stolen by a coworker, being betrayed in this way can derail a woman emotionally for days or weeks. This has happened to me a number of times and that glib saying "Well, you must be worth copying" never makes me feel better. Since YOU would nev

I'm DONE With Meditation Shame

I'm SO OVER meditation shaming! That's when women say things like, "I meditate for 30 minutes each morning at 5 am", and then her friend says, "Well, I meditate for 20 minutes TWICE a day, seven days a week." A third person chimes in and says "I do guided meditations twice a week with a guru from India." And everyone around them feels like a loser. The truth is that forcing an active woman to silence her brain is like asking her not to breathe. Quieting your mind, though, is
