Backing yourself isnât arroganceâit's clarity about your value. A concept that becomes critical as you advance in your career. Particularly when self-leadership and confidence in your abilities are expected, but you may not have that same level of support you had earlier in your career.
In this episode, I'm exploring the powerful idea of backing yourself in your career. Inspired by a quote from Maya Angelou, I can't underestimate the importance of self-advocacy, especially in times of uncertainty and change.
Research shows that women who take ownership of their careers are more likely to be seen as leaders and promoted.
So, start small, but take control of your career today!

How to think strategically about a career transition. That's what I want to talk about today. Why? Because career transitions are tough. If you've experienced one, you know how hard it can be to simply reimagine a new role that's dramatically different from the one that you have. My guest today is John Tarnoff, a mid career transition expert.
John is the author of a bestselling book, Boomer Reinvention. He has a huge following on LinkedIn and you can also watch his very engaging and funny TEDx Talk.
In our conversation today, we discuss networking. I know it's that thing that make your eyes glaze over, but we talk about it in a very purposeful way. We also talk about finding your superpower and shedding the baggage from past bad work experiences. And we explore his somewhat controversial take on forgetting your passion and finding your usefulness.
It's a really nourishing and fun discussion and it's full of great tips.
