We have all cried at work. Okay maybe not all of us, but a lot of us and this week, I'm talking about the day I ugly cried at work. 

This week's podcast is about frustrations that arise in every woman's career and why we shouldn't ignore frustrations, in the name of professionalism. If for no other reason, other than that it will lead to less awkward, ugly crying at work.

Why is setting boundaries so guilt inducing?

Last year I had over 100 1:1 conversations with clients and the one thing every single woman had in common, was some form of struggle with boundaries, professionally or personally .

Too much? too little? and the myriad of questions in between.

Towards the end of last year, I wrote an article for We Are The City on this very topic and though most of us have adjusted to living in the unknown, I thought bringing this topic back for the podcast, might make for a good reminder of the wonders of well defined boundaries.

Paying attention pays...or does it?

I'm no accountant but I do believe in making sure your numbers add up. We often say 'pay attention' and yet most of us find ourselves giving it away for free.

Many people and organisations  (myself included), online and offline, are competing for you to PAY your attention to them. This 'payment' is what keeps all of them alive and in business and the more 'payments' they can get from you, the better.

Your attention is big business.

In this week's edition of Becoming The Influential Me Podcast, I'm discussing one guaranteed way to get an ROI on your attention.

Great careers are built in times of crisis and as some of us ask ourselves the question: What does the future of work mean for me?

In this week's episode of Becoming The Influential Me, I'll be sharing ideas (some of them borrowed) about how we can future proof our careers, or at least try to.

Why aren't more people talking about how AI could be the best thing that has ever happened to women in the workplace?

Is it true that technology (AI, Robotics, Machine Learning) will take over most jobs we currently think of as highly skilled? 

With the rise of technology and with it productivity, will skills such as empathy, collaboration and compassion become the most valuable skillsets? 

If yes, does that mean this is a spectacular time to be a woman?

In my podcast this week, I'm talking about just that.

In the past few months, I've had at least five female senior leaders ask me the question, 
"What do you think is the greatest threat to our long term success?".

The honest answer is I don't know, because I don't have a crystal ball...However,  success leaves clues and many trends from 2020 show that the best guarantee for the success of an individual and/or an organisation is... ADAPTABILITY. So I'm talking about it. 

In this weeks' blog and podcast, I'm sharing why adaptability matters and six ways you can be more adaptable in order to safeguard your career in the long term.

2021 is a year of great promise, but only if we choose to meet the moment. 

How have you started the year? Excited? Tired? Neither? Whatever the response.

Here's (yet another) 6 step plan to crush your goals and be the best version of you.

Imagine being Melania Trump?…for obvious reasons most of us can’t. Do you like her? Do you despise her? This week I’m asking us to put that aside and look at how she has navigated the journey through political life in a very hostile media environment.
