When we grow up, we have a bad habit of setting aside ALL childish things…even the things that would serve us in our careers.

As children, we set goals without concern for reason, limitation, or achievability. When we set goals, we set them without worrying about the “odds” of us being able to complete them. 

As adults, we tend to lose that ability to dream without limits…and we need to find a way to change that.

It’s time to give yourself permission to set radical goals for yourself, because that is the only way you will reach incredible heights in your career. 

If you missed out on joining the Elevate Collective, good news–even though our doors are now closed until July, I’m giving you an inside look at one of our coaching calls in this episode of elevateHER!

A couple weeks ago, in Episode 72 of elevateHER, I talked about setting good goals for the year. This week, I’ve invited a guest on the podcast to talk a little more about how to set goals with intention as you’re going through a transitionary period. 

Please welcome Audrey Kusambiza Bolo, who works with clients navigating change and transition, needing to make big, bold decisions in the pursuit of balance, clarity, passion, or purpose. Her mission is to support people to make decisions aligned with their truth, and I cannot wait for you all to hear what she has to say.

Intention is everything if you want to set goals you’ll actually achieve. Excitement is good, but it fades over time…and you need something more permanent to fuel yourself through your next transition!

When you sit through eight meetings in one day and realize…

1. Only one meeting included any other women besides yourself, and

You know that something needs to change.

I created The Elevate Collective because of one thing:

We need more black women in leadership, period.

And while many companies are paying lip service to the issue, I have yet to see real action taken to lead us into real change…

So I decided to take action myself.

In this episode of elevateHER, I want to take you behind the scenes of my group coaching program, The Elevate Collective, created specifically for ambitious career women who want to create their leadership identity and get seen, paid, and promoted as the boss leader they truly deserve to be.

When I first found out how much my husband was paying for monthly coaching, I couldn’t believe it. 

More than that, I never thought it was something I should ever consider–I thought of coaching as something that only directors had any business investing in.

I could not have been more wrong.

Now that I know what it’s like to do this work surrounded by other like-minded women, I will NEVER go back to doing it alone. And while a group program isn’t right for everyone at every stage in their development, it’s very possible that it’s a better fit for you than you think. If you…

• Have been operating at the status quo for far too long

…a group program may be exactly what you need. Let’s go over all the factors that will let you know whether a group program is the right fit for you.

Welcome to 2023, ladies!

Today, I want to talk about goals: what makes a great goal, what makes a poor goal, how you can keep yourself invested in your goals for the year, and more.

If you’re making goals from a place of EXCITEMENT, not COMMITMENT, it’s very likely that in just a handful of weeks, you’ll be back to business as usual. Therefore, it’s important to assess your goals to see…

• If your goal is too small

If you’re not sure your goals fit the criteria, good news—it’s not too late to change them. Let’s talk about how to set goals you can truly commit to.

Today we are talking all about goals and intention setting ahead of 2023.

This is the best time to think about what you want to achieve and how you are going to make it happen! We're going to focus on breakthrough successes, not overnight successes. Because overnight success doesn't really exist. Overnight success can take 5-10 years... it may look like an overnight success but the hard work behind it is sometimes hard to see. 

Two things that are very important to making these breakthrough successes happen, taking control over your career's path and figuring out what you REALLY want out of your career. I know that may not sound simple but listen now to learn more about how this is something doable for you as well.

Description:

Here we are, ladies: the holiday season. A time for spending quality time with your families, making memories with your kids, and enjoying your time away from work…

Or not.

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably familiar with the struggle of setting boundaries between work time and family time–especially around the holidays. At the end of the year, there’s a sense of urgency that kicks in at work, and it can be easy to fall into the trap of being glued to your laptop throughout the holidays rather than being present with your family.

Luckily, I know how to help. I’m here today to share my ten favorite tips for setting boundaries at work during this busy season of life.

Oftentimes, we are our own biggest limiters.

There are many ways that we can get in our own way while chasing growth in our careers, and oftentimes, we don’t even realize we’re doing it. It is incredibly difficult to spot the ways we’re limiting ourselves without a little outside perspective, so in this week’s episode, I’m going to give you seven things to watch out for, including…

• Being too humble (yes, it’s possible!)

It’s time we got out of our own way. 2023 can be your year to finally achieve your career goals…but only if you cut these seven things out of your work life.

When you don’t ask the question, the answer will always be no.

Only you know what you want in your career. And if you keep silent, thinking your boss will somehow read your mind and give you exactly what you’re hoping for, then you’ve already assured that the answer will be no.

You can’t get what you want unless you ask for it. And as scary as asking can be, it’s necessary for us to put what we want out there where our bosses can hear it if we ever want to receive it. Let me tell you how to start asking for what you want, and how to do it right!

If you've been following me on LinkedIn or Instagram, you've probably seen me talking about my MVP framework. It’s one of my favorite tools that I’ve developed, both for myself and for my clients.

This is a three-part framework that will lead to you being able to “level up” in your career, whatever that looks like for you. 

In this week’s episode, I’ll be discussing…

• What the MVP framework is

Whatever the goal, whatever the achievement, the MVP framework is the secret to having it, and I’m here today to tell you why. You can’t afford to miss this!
