Executive Presence Lessons from Kamala Harris 28:43

9h ago28:43

28:43

Female leaders often walk a tightrope. You’re expected to be strong and decisive—but not so strong you’re seen as a bitch. You’re asked to be nice — but not too nice, or people might think you’re not tough enough to be a leader.

Any way you slice it, Back-to-School is a sprint. The extra load?! It’s real. And working mothers typically feel it extra hard. And yet, there can be an unhelpful temptation the moment that back-to-school week is over…to immediately jump back into “real life”, without a moment to recover. This will leave you spent.

Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…said no working parent, ever. Your kids probably see it differently. Summer time is more relaxed, whether it’s days at camp, at the pool, or on the road.

Are you drowning in email? Before you’ve even gotten dressed in the morning, your mind is already on the 117 emails that are sitting in your inbox. Waiting on a response. Email is usually one of the first things you look at in the morning, and one of the last things you look at at night. It seems impossible to get (and stay) on top of it. Email and…

Mother’s Day. It’s billed as the ultimate celebration of the work of mothers. And in a society that often gives so little acknowledgement, this one day takes on big importance: a recognition of how much you’ve given to others throughout the rest of the year. We want the day to be perfect. But so often, it’s a major letdown. A source of strife, even…

Women are more aware of the mental load of the household than at any time in the past. The dynamics of domestic labor and parenting have historically been biased.

Who Says “Me Time” is Selfish? 24:09

“Put on your own oxygen mask first,” they say. But that’s easier said than done, right?! How much time do you get each day completely for yourself? Add it up: time with no work concerns to attend to, no little humans to take care of. Purely to do as you want… That’s probably some quick math. For most women, the number is small. And women get less t…

Is Inbox Zero a Waste of Time? 27:47

6M ago27:47

27:47

Inbox zero is such a seductive proposition. Inbox zero was popularized by productivity gurus as an efficient approach to email. The idea is that you want to maintain your inbox with zero - or as close to zero - messages as possible. For most people, this becomes a daily metric to track their own productivity. And, I’d argue it’s a vanity metric. It…

Presentation anxiety. It’s incredibly common, even amongst leaders. There’s that oft-quoted statistic that suggests that most people’s biggest fear is public speaking.

Women Deserve a Mental Offload 19:53

7M ago19:53

Women tend to disproportionately bear the weight of the mental load. That translates into a “second shift” at home: more hours spent on parenting, housework, emotional caretaking, and more.

“It’s lonely at the top”, so the saying goes. Which makes it all the more surprising that leaders rarely discuss the feelings of loneliness that can come as you rise. It’s paradoxical. You’re surrounded by colleagues. You lead a team who look up to you and follow you. And at the same time, it can feel distinctly lonely to be the person standing out…
