GET AHEAD

IN YOUR CAREER

Hi, I’m Lisa.

My Journey

There I was, feeling the gentle tingle of shame on my cheeks as I listened to my boss's feedback. He shared that they wanted me to be speaking up more. That people felt like they didn't really know me. That I wasn't sharing my opinions or contributing enough. He wasn't wrong to give me this feedback. Deep inside, I knew he was right. I was actually glad to work somewhere where they wanted to hear more from me. I just felt like I had no idea how to be that person. How to be me at work.

The self doubt I felt with each task I did (even simple things like sending an update email) was exhausting me. The anxiety I experienced the night before every presentation was so intense that instead of sleeping I'd be up in panic the entire night.

I had tried to play it cool, plaster on a smile, nod and laugh and make small talk with coworkers. But the gig was up. I'd been caught. I felt like everyone knew that the image I had been feigning was just a lie to mask the insecurity I felt inside. It had worked for a while, but now I was in over my head...

I could no longer pretend to be someone I wasn't to keep my career moving.

I had a choice to make.

Option A: Change Careers

Do something simpler, easier, that potentially pays less but would be way less stressful. Where I could let up a bit, go slower, and not have to think or work so hard.

Option B: Be ME at Work

Show up fully, trusting me and leaning in with courageous self confidence. Be challenged; use it to fuel me forward and not stay stuck in a self doubt, anxiety spiral.

If I could have it my way, I'd choose option B, no question. But my dilemma was I just didn't see how that was possible.

So I went to work on making it possible.

This was the greatest gift I could ever give myself. Through my process, my career transformed and my self confidence is greater than ever.

I began showing up powerfully, confidently in my role. To have an opinion, and actually express it. To have my own back even when I fall flat on my face. To know that no matter what, I am here for me. To manage the self doubt, anxiety, and overwhelm. To listen to me and my intuition.

To increase my salary by 15%. And then two years later increase it again by another 25%.

To finally love ME for me. And to get to share that brilliant self with the world. I learned to make decisions based on my own inner wisdom, and to stand by those decisions. I learned to express myself genuinely even when it was hard.

I learned to create an incredible career for myself. Now I help others own their own magnificence and create amazing career results.

You can catapult your career forward.
