That Big CEO Energy

“Why do you feel like you need to add on? Because take it from me, you deserve to charge more and if you don't charge more, then someone else is charging more with less add-ons .” - Kallai

Raising your prices doesn’t mean that you are adding on things to make the price increase “worth it”. As women, we need to stop apologizing for the price increases.

Today we talk all about what that means.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

-How to strategically raise your prices.

-Why raising your prices is worth it without the add ons.

-How to challenge yourself to think differently about the service you provide.

Tune in as we discover that raising your prices isn’t as scary as you think and YOU ARE WORTH IT! Just because you are valuable, not because you are justified.

“You've made it impossible to show up for yourself. You've made it impossible for other people in your community to genuinely know who you are because now you've gotten into the rat race of creating the façade that if you don't follow the algorithm rules, and if you don't follow what social media tells you, then all is lost. “- Kallai

The algorithm, the social media posting expectations, the having to be “on” all the time with reels and lives and, and, and…

It’s all so much and where do you start? Where do you find content to repurpose, how do you know what your mission of using a social media platform is? I answer it all in today’s episode. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Content pillar building and why it is important
• How to repurpose content
• Building a schedule that works for YOU and shifting your social media perspective

The main takeaway for you today is that you need to shift your mindset from “have to” to “get to” and you can create consistency on social media and grow without getting trapped in the rate race!

“When we don't take care of our health, we often opt to ignore signs and symptoms. It can feed into our business because we're not showing up in the way that we want to. We're not showing up in the way that we should be able to.”- Kallai

 Today I am taking you on the journey that I have been on for the past 6 years. I am sharing a very personal story about my complications and ultimately the decision I made to remove my Essure. Our health is a very important part of being able to show up in our businesses with our big CEO energy.

 When we can’t be healthy and are focused on working through the mud, we often short change ourselves on our business experience.

 Walk with me as we uncover my personal journey of feeling captive to being set free!

 Things you will learn:

●       Why I decided to implant Essure

●       The complications I experienced

●       How I am doing now

●       Why being an advocate for your health is important

 Never forget that your body is a vessel that will take you places but it is your obligation to care for it.

“I think it's important for us to recognize that this is a natural part of growth.” - Kallai Plummer

In this episode we talk about taking a pause, what that means and how it can serve each one of us. It is imperative that we allow ourselves time and space to process, get rid of, and encourage habits, people and things in our lives. This is a natural place to grow and ultimately flourish. Walk with me as we discover my personal journey in hopes that you will find time and space to rest.

In this episode you will learn:

1. What my pause did for me.
2. What expectations of social media you can give yourself
3. 3. Setting boundaries and the continued work of pausing

I am so honored that I can show up in this space and know that what I am feeling and talking about, some of you resonate with that too.

When people say that they do deep work, the word deep really is rooted in you. It is the ability to spend uninterrupted time with complete focus on you, your tasks that matter and with people you genuinely enjoy. But that also means creating a team you can leverage and a community of people who encourage you. 

Today’s episode I walk you through my deep work that I have been doing lately, how it has impacted me and why deep work is such an essential tool for our growth. Sitting with yourself and committing to passionately driving yourself forward makes so much difference in not only your world but the world that surrounds you. 

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How I arrived at deep work.
• My process of doing deep work.
• How you can incorporate deep work into your daily life.

Being able to shift focus and really do the deep work is important for your growth as a business owner and human.

“So I encourage folks to not use the word ask for more, especially for women, because we're done asking, we're here to negotiate.”- Kim

If you are in the space of feeling like you have to ask or beg to be taken seriously, to delegate, or to even get a raise, this episode is for you. 

Today I am talking with Kim Tran, the owner of Your Work Inspires. She is a career negotiator and business coach leading women and communities of color, regardless of job title or industry  to close the pay and wealth gap. She currently leads brand strategy for Top Fortune 10 programs in the edtech and online learning space. 

In this episode you’ll learn:

1. Things you have to reflect on in your life to understand where you learned the unconscious bias of the pay and wealth gap.
2. What language shift can do for us as women when we want more.
3. How we get comfortable negotiating and taking up space can also impact our private lives.

My hope for this episode is that you learn to take up space and use your big CEO energy in and out of the office to get what you want. Tune in to listen to the incredible Kim teach us all how to do that!

About Kim Tran: 

A former aspiring lawyer-turned-tech-marketer, Kim began her career working in media litigation and First Amendment law before jumping client-side with a global Fortune 500 media company. While there, she leveraged her legal background into a brand strategy, marketing, and advertising career full-time, leading high-performing cross-functional teams and producing multimillion-dollar media campaigns in highly regulated industries, from tech to financial services. Most recently Kim oversaw marketing and growth initiatives in Latin America for a global Internet infrastructure company, and currently leads brand strategy for Top Fortune 10 programs in the edtech and online learning space.

After a decade spent on both sides of the hiring table, Kim founded her career negotiations and business coaching firm, Your Work Inspires, with one single mission—to help close the pay gap and wealth gap for women and communities of color, regardless of job title or industry. Kim holds a BA in Psychology and MA in Strategic Communications, and frequently speaks and conducts workshops on various business and career topics for diverse audiences of all backgrounds at Duke University, American University, and Booz Allen Hamilton, among others.

Has the well run dry on finding things to keep motivating you?
