Have you ever felt like you weren’t sure which path to take? This simple question comes up in our lives and career and the way we respond can literally make the difference between success and failure. As the host of HerCsuite® Radio, I will take you on this two-part journey to help you move past feeling stuck and on to being unstoppable.
As a business leader and perpetual opportunity creator (AKA sales generator) the one thing I can tell you is that supercharging your career will still require you to stop along the way, recharge, regroup before moving on. And there will be things that don’t go right.
When I meet with women, one of the first questions I ask is what does success look like for you? The answer can be varied, a new job, promotion, life balance, retirement, finding a board position... Whatever the answer, there is always something behind the answer.
3 Ways Women Feel Stuck:
1. Facing What’s Next. Fear can often take hold of us and we are not able to move forward.
2. Hesitating When You Are Ready. We tend to wait for all the boxes to be checked and postpone our actions.
3. Knowing How to Push Past Barriers. There will always be people or obstacles in our way. Knowing what to do to work around them is important.
The most common barrier I am hearing lately is being stuck at Director Level. Statistically according to McKinsey, for every woman who is promoted to Director, two leave the company. The reason can be as simple as there are a limited number of Director or Vice President Roles and so it may not be possible to move ahead. The answer for the 66% is to leave. Are you feeling like this is your only option? There may be some other options you haven’t yet considered.
Whatever the barrier, you need to know with confidence why it is important to yourself to move past it. Is it really what you want to see happen? If the answer is yes! You are ready to move to the unstoppable phase.
3 Keys to Becoming Unstoppable:
1. Believe You Belong. You have worked long and hard for a seat at the table. You deserve to be in any room.
2. Nurture Your Network. Reach out and connect before you need to.
3. Be a Consistent Learner. Strive to learn something new every day and apply what you learn.
Every Saturday, I attend the live podcast stream of Meridith Elliot Powel and Mark Hunter Sales Logic at 7 AM CT. I learn so much from every experience both from the audience and from the hosts.
Remember, even the most confident people have doubts. Remove any fear. Know you are ready and dismantle the barriers. Believe you belong. You’ve surrounded yourself with the right people and you have learned life lessons throughout your career and life that make you a valuable asset in any room.
I believe in you. You Got This!
