5 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started a Podcast

 Not hitting your goals is part and parcel of the entrepreneurial experience, especially if you want to become a high-growth leader. While this is a relatively common experience for entrepreneurs, you might be layering extra pain and suffering on top of your perceived failure, when in reality, you’re making major leaps forward just by setting and pursuing these big goals.       Tune in this week to learn the magic of setting big goals, even when you don’t meet them. Eleanor is showing you why setting goals you don’t achieve isn’t a problem and the three main side effects of pursuing big goals.      Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/ai42

The Side Effects of Setting Big Goals

Ever wonder what feminists mean by “the patriarchy?” It’s presented as the boogeyman in our culture, but what is it really and where did it come from? If you’ve always assumed this is just the way the world has always been, but you’re tired of being a “good girl” and instead crave being a whole, fully expressed woman, this episode is for you.   To unpack this concept, Eleanor is joined by Elise Loehnen, author of the New York Times Bestseller, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. They’re exploring its historical roots, how it manifests in modern women’s lives, and the true cost of constantly playing by society’s rules - rules that weren’t built for women in the first place.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/ai41

How The Patriarchy Impacts Modern Women Featuring Elise Loehnen

If you feel like you’re drowning in all the things you could and should be doing with little time on your hands to accomplish your goals, it’s time to meet your stress with power. A lack of time isn’t a mindset issue. It’s real. However, you do have agency when it comes to how you fill and use your time, and Eleanor is here this week to show you how to become someone who does hard better.   Join Eleanor on this episode to hear the impact of time stress on ambitious women, and why, while you may be tempted to downgrade your goals, it’s vital for you to upgrade your power instead. You’ll learn the real antidote to stress, what is amplifying your experience of time stress, and how to rewrite your story on power.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/ai40

How to Build the Muscle of Saying No

Entrepreneurs who have the most staying power know that there’s one skill that is critical, irreplaceable, and hard to overcome if you don’t cultivate it as a CEO, and that’s the ability to sell. No matter the kind of business you run, or how great your product or service is, if you can’t sell, it’s impossible for your company to outperform this gap.   This week’s episode is a masterclass in sales techniques and sustainable selling strategies. Caitlin MacGregor is the CEO and co-founder of Plum: a skills-based talent intelligence platform that helps you unlock your organization’s full potential. She’s decoding strong product market fit and sharing how she accomplished the perfect recipe for Plum’s product and its target market.    Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/ai39
