How can we change the gender balance in traditionally male dominated fields?
The tech industry is one that's been known to be male dominated. I have a lot of clients in the tech industry, and some of them feel very daunted by this problem, often wondering if they'll ever get a chance to get the recognition they deserve.
So I'm so excited to have this conversation with a leader in tech that's been a change agent in this way, and to learn more about what's happened to help her be more successful in her career.

Mid-career women often have an allergic reaction to how to build their network.
They don't want to feel cheesy, sleazy, or like they're only out for themselves. They've seen others doing this and they don't want to be perceived in the same way.
But the problem with this is it holds them back in their careers because your network is more important the higher your rise.
In this episode, Jill shares how you can balance giving and taking so you can build a strategic network with people you enjoy spending time with. She’ll share how she’s created a reputation as someone people can count on and who they turn to when they need an expert.
So if you've been resisting the whole idea of networking or feel lost on how to do it in a way that doesn’t just feel like you’re taking, taking, taking, this episode's for you!
Tune in to hear:
01:48 — Givers vs. Takers: How to find the right balance when networking
02:50 — What to do when it feels like you don’t have anything to offer others
09:26 — Who you want to focus on networking with

You’ve likely heard the saying, “you can’t control the situation, but you can control how you react to the situation.”
That can be easier said than done, but that’s exactly the skill great leaders are able to develop.
Our client, Wendy, was initially a little resistant to the mindset work, but when she was laid off from a role she didn’t enjoy, she used that time to reflect on her unique strengths and skills that helped her land the new role she’s in now.
As she transitioned into the new role, she focused on three mindsets that have helped her not only succeed in her role even when there’s conflict and challenges, but also enjoy it because her emotional response is much more balanced.
If you find yourself feeling frustrated by challenges or situations in your role, tune in to hear the mindsets Wendy has developed and how they’ve supported her!
02:20 — The mindset shift Wendy had after losing her job that helped her turn a setback into an opportunity to create a career she loves
10:28 — The importance of choosing an aligned coaching program so you’re surrounded the right types of leader to build your network
12:48 — One of the most important things you need to embrace if you want to evolve as a leader
15:49 — How practicing this one skill with yourself supports you in leading others more effectively

Everyone's heard the phrase, your network is your net worth. Then why do so few mid-career women have the robust network that will get them into senior management?
According to McKinsey, even female CEOs have networks that are several times smaller than their male colleagues and the numbers get even worse the farther down the ladder you go. So if men have this all figured out, why is this still something that women shy away from?
In this episode, Jill explores the misconceptions that women have about networking and why a personal board of directors can accelerate the path for every woman who wants to rise up into senior management.
She shares about the essential mindset shifts that you need to take to be able to go from nay to yay when it comes to this important work and she will help you design your own personal board of directors to save you from going to networking events and having to talk to a room full of strangers or tooting your horn around the company.
02:39 — Your "good work" isn't enough to secure a promotion into senior management
05:12 — How to design your personal advisory board so you know what seats you'd like to fill
06:57 — The types of people you can consider having on your personal board of directors

What happens when you have a failure? Like when you make a mistake at work — big or small — or you get rejected for something that you thought was a sure thing.
It’s tempting to hide away or play small after a failure has happened. Sometimes people let it derail them or even end their career.
But what happens when you use failure to propel you forward?
That’s what Jessica Bacall, editor of two top 10 books, Mistakes I Made at Work and The Rejection That Changed My Life, explored in her books and her work as the director of Reflective Journaling at Smith College, in Northampton, Massachusetts
To be a successful leader doesn’t mean avoiding mistakes or failures, but rather to expect them, prepare for them, and use them to build your resiliency. Tune in to hear how you can apply Jessica’s research to your own life and career.
01:25 — How recognizing that failure or rejection is inevitable helps you neutralize your thoughts around it
04:14 — How recognizing that failure or rejection is inevitable helps you neutralize your thoughts around it
07:12 — How to navigate a recent failure or rejection without getting caught up in it
10:59 — Understand the differences between how men and women handle mistakes and failures
16:05 — How you can increase your resilience ahead of having a failure so that you’re prepared when it inevitably happens

Are you afraid of taking risks because you don’t know how to bounce back from failure?
You’re likely nervous that if you fail, you’ll be “marked” forever or side-tracked for a promotion because of it.
This is a common fear that women can hold, and for good reason. Women are criticized for not taking enough risks and being held back from further success because of it. A lot of this has to do with the way that we are raised, because there can be little latitude for anything besides perfection.
This follows us into our careers, creating more caution than we need. But it's not true. Women can fail and recover from it.
This episode, we are talking about how to prepare for the inevitable failure that you will face if you're going to be a senior leader and we'll talk about how to bounce back once you've had a failure.
Maybe you've had a failure that you're still recovering from, or maybe you've kept yourself safely secure until now. Either way, you're going to want to listen to develop this skill set.
02:34 — How to socialize the risk you're considering taking so you have allies in case a failure happens
04:42 — Why it's important to not hide failures
05:38 — Take a no excuses, 100% ownership approach to cover yourself politically

Your mental skills are likely what’s holding you back from being a senior leader.
Our inner emotional life is like a governor for our success, and we need to work through our mindset limitations to avoid getting stuck behind outdated ways of thinking. Our growth gets stunted and our potential gets cut off unless we work to expand our mindset into new territory.
The mental game is every bit as important as being good at your technical skills when it comes to moving up the ladder, and it gets more important the higher you go.
In this episode, Jill shares the 3 areas of mental skills you need to develop in order to earn a senior-level position and thrive in it without burnout or overwhelm.
02:24 — Uncover your limiting self-beliefs and learn how to rework your neural pathways
07:50 — How your imposter syndrome is self-sabotaging your career and how to feel worthy of your next step just as you are right now
12:00 — How to let go of rumination and worry so you can lead with a clear mind

Senior and executive leadership roles bring more responsibility, but that doesn’t have to mean taking on more work and sacrificing your personal time or well-being in the process.
In fact, prioritizing work-life balance and self-care becomes more critical as you rise through the ranks because you need the capacity to navigate more challenging situations, lead more people, and make more prominent decisions.
When Nadia joined the Sisters In Leadership program, she wanted to gain clarity on where she wanted to be 3 roles from now and what opportunities she would need to take to bring that vision to life.
Throughout her time in the program, she learned that it was not only possible for her to continue rising in her career without sacrificing balance — but required.
If you’ve been working hard to prove yourself, sacrificing family time or time off to get to the next level, tune into this episode to hear:
03:34 — Why you need to be the one actively shaping the trajectory of your career to end up in senior or executive roles you want
06:19 — Using a personal strategy retreat to prioritize self-care as a way to further her career
10:08 — How Nadia used her 360 feedback from her company to shift her way of working to align more with her family life
14:27 — The differences between your corporate program vs. private coaching
19:18 — How to gain clarity on where you want to be 3 roles from now and how to get there
33:37 — Where to find mentors and sponsors and how to be a great mentee

As women, we easily fall into the mentality of “we have to do it all.”
But we can’t rise up without the right support. (Or if you somehow muster up the determination to do so, you’ll end up burned out and unsatisfied pretty quickly juggling all those responsibilities).
In this episode, Chumi Khurana, vice president of sales and marketing at J& J Oncology, joins Jill to share how she leaned on support systems from getting started in her career all the way up into senior leadership.
She shares insights about how our workforce is changing to benefit different working styles, the importance of support and the different shapes it can take, and how you don’t have to fit the mold to earn a promotion.
04:48 — How one woman's encouragement inspired Chumi to go into pharmaceutical sales
10:05 — How you can find your own authentic leadership approach without feeling like you have to conform to a mold
13:44 — Why making the decision to go part-time to start a family children doesn’t have to be a career setback and how we as leaders can find solutions for ourselves or our team
16:44 — How you can build the support to raise your family and thrive in your career without having to “do it all”

Whether you received your promotion recently or you want one in the next few months, have you ever felt like you didn't really deserve it?
This is a common feeling that leaders have,
While men certainly feel this way at times, the problem tends to be bigger for women and underrepresented groups because this feeling of being an imposter can come from feeling like an outsider.
Plus, women often have to raise their hand to be considered for leadership positions, feel like they shouldn't need to do that, especially when their male counterparts might be selected without having to speak up at all.
In this episode, Jill and SisterSmart coach, Sarah, talk about psychological hacks that you can use to overcome this feeling of not being good enough. This is something that almost every leader faces at some point in their career and it’s important to learn how to feel secure in your role and like you deserve the step up.
01:21 — What the "upper limit" phenomenon is and how it self-sabotage us in our careers
03:19 — The 4 feelings or mental stories you might have when you're hitting your upper limit
08:03 — How to bring awareness to which saboteurs are at play in this situation and how to learn from them instead of feeling controlled by them

Do you ever feel like all the eyes are on you and you have more and more fear of making mistakes as a leader and pressure to work harder?
The higher you go, the higher this pressure becomes, especially for women due to gender bias and socialization.
Many leaders in this situation just work harder and harder, without it ever feeling like enough.
This might get you to the director level because of your performance, but it won’t help you get into leadership levels.
That’s because the best leaders know that one person can only do so much and there's a time when we have to let go. But how do you find that line where you can confidently feel like you've done enough without overextending to try to get everything right?
Tune in to learn:
01:52 — 5 influences that lead women to take on more work and put more pressure on themselves to “get it all right”
05:00 — The 3 habits women leaders tend to fall into that sabotage their ability to rise into the leadership levels
09:46 — How you can identify and practice letting go of your work so you can embrace less, more meaningful contributions

As ambitious leaders rising up in our careers, it’s inevitable to encounter career setbacks along the way.
Sometimes you have to restart your career because you had kids or you moved to another country. Or maybe you've done everything right and that promotion you were looking for doesn't pan out or you get laid off right on your way up the ladder.
Many leaders let these kinds of situations get them down.
But if you can learn how to use your career setback to your advantage, you might find it to be more beneficial than the linear path you originally envisioned.
Our client, Sally, immigrated from China to the U.S. and had to restart her career with no connections, and with English being her second language. She was also laid off at a role she loved.
But by seeing the silver lining in getting laid off, she landed a role at a prominent tech company, increased her salary substantially, and earned benefits she didn’t have previously.
Whether you're facing a setback right now or wanna be prepared for the time when the inevitable happens, you'll find inspiration in her story.
01:51 — What it was like to immigrate from China to the U.S. and start from zero in her career
09:57 — Getting promoted isn't just about performance and what you also need to think about
17:36 — How Sally handled getting laid off and used it to land a new, more aligned role with a major salary increase, additional benefits, and more room to grow

An employee is only as good as their team.
There have been studies that show this.
So why is the team dynamic so important?
No one gets to the top alone. Even in roles that might seem like they're solo endeavors like sales.
We feed off one another and we have a human need to belong to a larger group. And when these interpersonal dynamics are missing, we simply cannot be our best selves.
In this episode, you’ll discover the most overlooked element of leadership and how you can use it to create a high-performing team. You’ll also learn how it can go wrong so you can avoid common pitfalls.
01:39 — Why leaders aren't creating as much psychological safety as they think they are
02:26 — How psychological safety improves your team's performance
05:34 — Why you need psychological safety in both high risk and routine situations
08:17 — How do you develop psychological safety?
10:53 — Signs that your team doesn't have as much psychological safety as you think

Understanding how to develop your conversation skills for work is one of the skills that will allow you to confidently navigate any situation you encounter as a leader.
So many conversations don't go anywhere or worse — they create a negative situation between two people or different factions. These types of situations are exactly what can get your team stuck or underperforming.
In this episode, you'll learn how to create teams that are fast, innovative, and interdependent. You’ll discover the five conversation killers that you'll want to stay away from and three secrets that are key to building teams with true collaboration and co-creation.
Through your conversation skills, you can create collaborations where people open up with their ideas and concerns, and they're motivated to reach their goals.
This allows your team to perform better when working independently and with other departments, which is an essential leadership skill you’ll need to rise into your next role.
03:24 — Subtle ways we can unintentionally make other people feel threatened and what to notice to tell if someone is in that state
05:20 — How to switch from convincing to collaborating to get buy in on ideas
06:51 — How to best ensure everyone feels heard and valued when they interact with you

Setting SMART goals can lead you to feel like you’re on a “goal treadmill.”
Set a goal. Check it off. Set another one. Repeat.
This usually results in goals that are good for the company, but not necessarily good for you. Many women we’ve talked to who set SMART goals share they end up feeling unfulfilled and not in alignment with their purpose.
In this episode, Jill and SisterSmart Coach Lisa Kollish, guide you through how to think differently about setting goals so they’re both in alignment with your organization and your own desires in order for you to feel motivated to do what it takes to accomplish them.
We want you to set goals, not just for your work, but for your whole life.
02:07 — How to find your intersection between personal and professional fulfillment
05:26 — The crucial piece that's missing from the SMART goals
10:13 — What Means Goals are and why they're "SMARTER" goals
14:46 — Who do you need to become to accomplish your goals?
15:54 — Envisioning your future self
19:44 — How to create new habits to support your goals

It's been proven that companies prosper more when diversity increases and we improve gender balance.
Yet the workplace is the same experience for all women.
In fact, white women are at a distinct advantage in terms of promotions, pay, and dealing with microaggressions.
When we can understand how our experience is similar and different from women of color, we can work together towards a future where all women can rise to create a truly diverse workplace that creates prosperity for all.
Jill is joined in this episode by Mariah Johnson, who is an equity consultant with an emphasis on intersectionality of gender and race, and Ashley Cisneros Ritter, who is the Practice Director at Chicago Career Consulting and also the Associate Dean at the School of Business at North Park University, where she has also taught gender studies.
Together they explore how women leaders can recognize and reflect on the intersections of gender, race, class, language, education and more to spot opportunities to lead in new ways that create new norms in the workplace so all women have more opportunities to rise up and find fulfillment at every level.
05:25 — How women carry the burden of unpaid labor and how to spot it to prevent it
09:25 — How to identify where patriarchal norms are at play and begin to shift the standard away from those working styles
20:32 — How women can let go of the mental burden we tend to carry so we can be present for ourselves and our family
27:27 — What intersectionality is, how it can create additional imbalances in the workplace, and how we can recognize and address it (especially if you're a white woman)

It can feel difficult to set boundaries with your coworkers, but learning how to say no at work without making enemies is the very thing that will make you more successful — not saying “yes” to everything.
When you set boundaries at work, the way you spend your time, your money, your energy will all become in line with what you really want and you’ll experience how saying “no” helped you go farther and faster towards your goals.
If you're tired of always bumping up against burnout, feeling anxious, tired, and stressed, and maybe even a little resentful because you never get time for yourself, you are going to want to stay tuned.
Sandy Reynolds, who is an expert in leadership development, joins us in this episode to share how to say no in a way that's freeing rather than detrimental to your career.
By the end of the episode, you’ll have several structures in place to help you put careful consideration to the things that are going onto your plate and how you can be comfortable with disappointing others, without sabotaging your career.
When you get this piece right, your career will take off.
03:25 — The outside influences that make it challenging for women to say no
12:24 — Why disagreeing doesn’t affect your relationships with others as much as you think it does
14:32 — The costs we pay when we "want to be liked"
17:37 — How to build the habit of saying "no" when you need to
20:48 — Example scenarios and phrasing you can use to say no in a way that will be well-received
