• Can you be a mentor in any role? Yes, because the definition of a mentor is an experienced and trusted advisor.
• People may not see themselves as a mentor because they think they're inexperienced in their role, even if they hold higher leadership roles.
• Many people don't view themselves as mentors, but others may see them as mentors because of their great relationships and guidance.
• As an entry-level employee, one can still be a mentor by becoming familiar with the basics of the program, company, or department and advising newer employees.
• Prompt: What are you doing to be seen as a mentor amongst your peers? How can you leverage your previous work experience to become a mentor?
• Being a mentor is not only about guiding those behind you but also building relationships with peers and higher-ups.

The Future Female Leaders podcast aims to help create more female leaders in the workplace.

In this episode, host Nichole Harrop talks about the CTFAR framework that changed her life. She walks the audience through this self-coaching model that helped her take control of her thoughts, feelings, and actions, and improve her response to everyday situations.

Nichole shares her personal experience of feeling out of control with her thoughts and feelings, especially during her three-year-long infertility journey. She came across the CTFAR model while listening to Jody Moore's podcast, and it made a significant impact on her life. Within a week of implementing this practice, Nichole noticed a positive change in herself, and people around her could also see the difference.

The CTFAR framework stands for Circumstances, Thoughts, Feelings, Actions, and Results. Everything is a circumstance, and good or bad things are only good or bad because of the thought and feeling that happens after the circumstance.

Nichole believes that the model can help individuals have more control and show up in the best ways possible, even in challenging situations.

Overall, this podcast episode is informative, relatable, and inspiring, and it encourages listeners to take charge of their thoughts and feelings and become more mindful in their daily lives.

Managing Energy

• During a virtual meeting with the local Silicon Slopes chapter in Utah, where Nichole joined their leadership team for the marketing chapter, the group discussed adding an additional person to the team and morning routines.
• One committee member talked about managing his energy, and how you can't show up to things if you aren't managing your energy.
• Nichole realized that this was the one thing that could throw off even the best time management planning.
• She was hard on herself because she believed that planning her day better, time-blocking more, or doing all the different things could make her day easier or less stressful.
• Nichole loved that the committee member talked about energy factor and how it resonated with her.
• Being a female, Nichole recognized that we are cyclical beings and that the world is created for the male cycle of 24 hours.
• She used the analogy of the typical male as the sun and the female as the moon, and the cycles of the sun and the moon.
• As females, we are not able to show up with the same amount of energy to everything every day, and there are times when we have extremely low energy and times when we can take on all the things.
• Nichole encourages everyone to be thoughtful and aware of how they're showing up to everything with energy and not just because it's another thing on their calendar or to-do list.
• Companies are providing more autonomy to their team members to get work done when they want to or aren't capable of doing it, recognizing that energy can ebb and flow throughout a given day and month.
• Nichole wants everyone to take the message and reflect on their day-by-day and week-by-week, record their energy, and accommodate the work expected to get done around their energy.

Is there a definitive timeline on how long you'll work in a role without getting promoted or having other opportunities available?

In this episode of the Future Female Leaders podcast, host Nichole Harrop addresses the question of how long one should stay at their current job if they aren't getting promoted. She clarifies that it's not always about the money but rather about experience and making a difference. Money is a consideration, however, and Nichole provides examples of what it can look like when you're not getting promoted within your company.

She talks about the standard cost of living increases, which have been around 7% in the last two years. If you're not getting a cost of living increase wage, you're losing money each year. She gives an example of someone who starts at a salary of $40,000 and receives a 3% raise each year. If they stick with their current job, they will reach $46,003.70 by the fifth year. However, if they found a new job at $50,000 after the second year, by the fifth year, their salary would be $54,006.36.

Nichole emphasizes that it's never a bad thing to prioritize yourself and what you're interested in, including pay and opportunities. If you've been in your job for at least 6 months to a year and are actively applying for roles but getting vague feedback, it may be time to consider other opportunities.
