EP 188: Mindset Shifts that Unlocked Stephanie’s Potential (Stephanie's Story)
Do you constantly feel like you’re trying to fit a square peg into a round hole?
Trying to make something fit when it just doesn’t is a clear sign that you’re not being true to yourself.
Simply changing jobs will only prolong your suffering.
For real change, you need the guidance of a professional career coach who can help you get to the root of what’s making you unhappy so you can move into a job or career that will fulfill you LONG term.
Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment, Blake welcomes Stephanie to share her story. After being laid off from her job, she knew she wanted to use that time to find work that felt more true to herself. Her 25 years in HR helped her recognize that she wasn’t going to find the change she needed on her own.
In this episode, you’ll learn how the career coaching process empowered her to think outside of the box and explore possibilities and opportunities that she never would have considered before. You’ll hear how the program taught her how to understand her true value, and gave her the confidence to effortlessly ask for what she was worth. Having finally landed the VP role she’s always dreamt of, she’s become a trailblazer in her new company and a mentor and inspiration to other women.
If you’re thinking that something in your life needs to change, then take Stephanie’s advice and…
“Trust your gut. If your gut is leading you to this program, then trust it and do it. You won’t regret it.”
What You’ll Learn: • How Stephanie turned a layoff into a life-changing opportunity (2:48) • Leaning into your interests to learn more about what you want from a job (9:11) • Why waiting to get help just prolongs the pain you’re experiencing now (14:38) • The negotiation advice that shifted her mindset and got her what she was worth (19:11) • How partnering with a career coach landed her a job she might have passed on otherwise (25:39) • The importance of hearing stories from other women in the program (32:32)
Favorite Quotes: 1. “I feel like I needed something. I didn't know what that something was, but I think I knew deep down that I needed some help. And I wasn't going to be able to get where I wanted to go on my own.” –Stephanie 2. “Sometimes you just have to take the plunge and realize it's not a spend. It's an investment.” –Stephanie 3. “We think that taking the next job is going to be the faster path, but it never is. Taking the job you don't want, that you're going to be undervalued in, it’s never the faster path.” –Blake 4. “Trust your gut, if your gut is leading you to this program, then trust it and do it. Because I can't imagine it not helping anyone.” –Stephanie
