Over the last few hours I have spent time on zoom and on the phone coaching professional women – CEO’s of not for profits, government team leaders and a technical specialist looking to advance her career. All of them amazing, talented women. All of them frustrated and overwhelmed, and some of them on the brink of tears.

“What’s wrong with me?”

“I’ve been getting interviews and they go well but I just can’t seem to land that next higher position.”

“I feel like I am doing all the things but none of them are working anymore.”

“I feel so stupid. I’m smart, I have degrees. Why didn’t I see this coming?”

Each of them has so much talent and potential. Each of them suffering a similar ailment – imposter syndrome, a feeling of not got enough and a belief they need to push harder and faster to gain recognition, respect and reward.

What would you have wished to know before you started your career?

If you're a corporate professional or a government employee looking to grow your influence through your network then this is the episode to tune into.

My guest today is a longtime friend and colleague Melissa Histon. Mel is the founder and CEO of Hunter based charity Got Your Back Sista. Mel has grown the charity over the past 8 and a half years through determination, volunteers and her amazing professional network.

I have a saying that I use regularly (borrowed it from Alex Hormozi) and it is "give, give, give until they ask" and Mel is someone who epitomises this. She doesn't just network for networking or status sake - she has a real and genuine interest in people and it sets her apart from other business development professionals, CEOs and fundraisers.

You can find out more about Mel and her amazing work here Facebook

Don't try to be popular," was one piece of advice John Davies, former senior military officer received early on in his career.

In this episode, I interview John (JD) where he shares his insights as the Director of Navy Culture and how a leaders responsibility lies in looking after your people and communicating well. You don't have to be in the special forces to apply the great leadership advice and lessons John shares.

My guest on this episode of the 10 Degree Shift is a workplace safety inspector - Phil Lalor.

Phil has a reputation for being a professional and having high standards, people who know him will say he always has highly polished leather boots and a spotlessly clean car. I'm envious. Living in the bush on dirt roads my car can be cleaned one day and coated in dirt the next. That's not however why I brought him on the show.

I invited Phil to be a guest, because like me, he's a no BS straight shooter and he has had a really varied career. He's skilled in Crisis Management, Budgeting, Internal Audit, possesses highly Analytical Skills, and spent years navigating a career in government.

And it hasn't always been roses. In his very first career application Phil was knocked back receiving a letter from Defence Force Recruiting saying he was "educationally unqualified". He overcame that obstacle and many more to grow into a leader who has a good grasp of now making a life, not just a living. Join me for a yarn with Phil while he was on a motorcycle road trip doing just that!
