Here's a question that might sting a little: If I asked your colleagues what you're known for at That gut-wrenching feeling when your manager takes credit for your work? I've been there. It's infuriating and confusing—should you speak up or stay quiet?

Here's the harsh truth: Most of the time, what feels like credit-stealing is actually one of two very different situations. Handle it wrong, and you'll make things worse.

I break down the real difference between actual work theft and organizational reality. Plus, I share the exact words to use when you need to speak up without making it awkward.

You'll discover:

• Two types of "credit stealing" and how to identify which you're facing
• The 3-question framework to diagnose your situation
• Specific scripts to reclaim ownership of your work professionally
• Why your manager isn't your PR team (and what to do about it)
• The weekly exercise that builds your visibility muscle

"Hiding your accomplishments doesn't make you humble—it makes you invisible. And invisible people don't get promoted."

Stop letting workplace anxiety keep you stuck. Your contributions matter, and it's time people know what you're capable of.

🔥Define Your Personal Brand Challenge starts June 1st: https://lindsaylymancoaching.com/join

Here's a question that might sting a little: If I asked your colleagues what you're known for at work, could they answer in one clear sentence? Most mid-level professionals can't - and it's costing them promotions, interesting projects, and career opportunities.

Today I'm sharing why being competent isn't cutting it anymore, especially in our hybrid work world where your contributions are less visible than ever.

I'll share:

• The painful conversation that made me realize I was professionally invisible (despite working 60-hour weeks and delivering everything on time)
• Why 85% of professionals give vague answers like "I'm a team player" when asked about their unique value
• The three misconceptions keeping talented people stuck: thinking you're not senior enough for personal branding, believing others are better than you, and assuming you have nothing special to offer
• Sarah's incredible transformation from layoff victim to indispensable tech team leader who pushed back on executives and delivered her project on time and budget
• How Scott went from top performer to laid off to landing his dream job - all because he finally understood his unique strengths
• My proven three-part framework that uses external feedback (not just self-reflection) to define your personal brand, even if you think you're "not special"

This isn't about becoming a LinkedIn influencer or creating some fake persona. It's about making sure your real value gets seen and remembered when promotion decisions are made.

If you're tired of watching less qualified colleagues advance while you stay stuck, it's time to get clear on what you're known for. Join my Define Your Personal Brand Challenge starting June 1st - it's included in my coaching membership that you can try for 7 days free. Even join on June 1st, get all the challenge materials, and leave if it's not right for you.

Stop being the best-kept secret in your organization. Your career deserves better.

Today I'm tackling something we're all feeling but might not have named yet - we're stuck in the career equivalent of middle school! Just like those awkward puberty years, our workplace is going through major changes and the support systems we used to rely on are falling apart.

I'll share:

· Why the current workplace feels like middle school (awkward, confusing, less support)

· The shocking new Gallup workplace report showing management burnout

· Why your manager can't hold your hand anymore (and why that's actually okay)

· How to stop waiting for someone else to save your career

If you're tired of feeling stuck and ready to graduate from career middle school, I'm launching a new coaching program specifically designed to help you navigate this transition. For less than $100/month, you'll get monthly challenges, group coaching, and the option for private coaching that would normally cost thousands.

Our first challenge starts THIS MONTH - don't miss out! Visit lindsaylymancoaching.com/join to take control of your career today.

Remember: You deserve to have someone on your side who can help you navigate these changes, but that someone isn't your manager. It's time to learn a new way of working!

Ready to stop feeling stuck in career middle school? Let's graduate together.

Is your brain telling you doom-and-gloom stories about your work situation? In today's episode, I'm sharing a powerful tool that's helped my clients break free from career-limiting narratives without denying the very real challenges they're facing.

Let's be real—work is HARD right now. With endless reorgs, bosses who are struggling themselves, and the pressure of doing multiple people's jobs, it's no wonder you're feeling stuck. But here's the thing: the stories you tell yourself about these situations are either keeping you paralyzed or helping you find options.

I'll walk you through:

✅ Why your brain would rather be right than feel good (and what to do about it)

✅ Three real client examples of transforming limiting stories into empowering ones

✅ How to acknowledge what's hard while still creating a path forward

✅ A simple exercise to identify and rewrite your own career narratives

The key isn't pretending everything's fine—it's learning to talk back to your brain instead of just listening to its fearful stories. When you do this, even the most challenging work situations start to feel less overwhelming, and you can take those small steps that lead to big changes.

I explain why your brain is naturally programmed to keep you in these traps and share insights on how successful people break free. This episode kicks off a new series where I'll help you overcome career stagnation with practical strategies you can implement right away.

In the third episode of our impostor syndrome series, we tackle the persistent self-doubt that shows up when you're trying new things. While previous episodes explained why impostor feelings aren't a problem to solve and how to "go all in" despite them, today we focus on building lasting self-confidence.

Key insights:

· The difference between confidence (output based on past success) and self-confidence (input based on believing you can figure things out)

· Three essential components to build self-confidence:

1. Let others think what they want about you

2. Get comfortable being uncomfortable

3. Trust yourself and get your own back

In part 2 of our impostor syndrome series, we explore why feeling like an impostor isn't a problem, but a normal response when doing something new. Learn how to "go all in" on the feeling instead of fighting it.

Key Points:

• "What you resist will persist"—fighting the feeling only intensifies it
• Your nervous system naturally perceives new challenges as threats
• Recognizing your physical response helps you manage these feelings
• Practical self-care strategies can help before and after high-pressure moments

Ever feel like you're faking it at work? Like everyone else knows what they're doing but you're just pretending? You're not alone.

In this first episode of our impostor syndrome series, I share my own embarrassing story of feeling like a complete fraud in my first branding meeting (spoiler: I totally made stuff up and got called out), and explain why impostor syndrome isn't actually a problem to solve.

Here's what you'll learn:

· The surprising history of impostor syndrome (and why it's basically the modern version of "bicycle face" from the 1890s)

· Why feeling like an impostor is actually a GOOD sign that you care and are growing

· The #1 biggest problem with impostor syndrome (it's not what you think!)

· Why it's important to separate "I am an impostor" from "I feel like an impostor"

Remember: You're not an impostor. You just feel like one sometimes, and that's totally fine. It means you're growing!

P.S. I'm working on something super exciting behind the scenes! It's private coaching with me that's more affordable than your monthly cell phone bill. Join the waitlist at lindsaylymancoaching.com/waitlist to be one of the first to know when it launches.
