Do you ever get stuck in your own head and wish you could gain fresh perspectives from women in similar roles?

You are not alone. You started your leadership career with big ambitions and an even bigger heart, but it can be hard. In your position, many of your days may consist of back to back calls, dealing with corporate politics and performance issues creating a stressful environment. 

Some days you might feel overwhelmed like you're the only woman with a seat at the table in your business, and constantly feel like you need to prove yourself, comparing yourself to other successes. 

One thing is for certain, the climb up the ladder can be lonely. It can be Isolating at the top and all you may need is somebody to talk to that can relate to these pressures. 

Recently, I invested in a mastermind group, because I want to accelerate my success and I now have a circle of amazing women from different industries, different backgrounds, who understand what I'm going through.

Would you like to learn how to better handle your emotions in work?

Today’s episode of The Powerhouse Revolution podcast has a special guest. Jay Fields is an embodiment coach, and she really helps people tune into their body so that they can love who they are and become the best version of themselves for both themselves and their relationships. Today we will be discussing how to handle your emotions at work.

You are a leader. You manage a team. You not only have to deal with other people’s problems everyday, but you often put your own issues aside in order to make sure everyone else has what they need for the business or project to run smoothly.

KPI’s and hitting those career goals are always on your mind - but no time for that!

Because there's a new fire to put out everyday, nevermind the back to back meetings you find yourself in so you are unable to actually get your own work done. You have requests from senior management, stakeholders, your team and even your own mother all coming at once.

And then “Susan”, that one coworker you just don't click with, passes a comment on one of your projects and you might just want to snap.

It’s exhausting.

Listen to the episode to learn:

[06:06] What is the difference between your emotions running you and you running them?

[09:42] How emotions are a powerful force for creating trust

[13:06] How to deal with your inner critic when you’re feeling stressed

[23:13] 3 practical tips for managing your emotions

[25:17] What role do hormones play when it comes to menopause?

Enjoy!

Are you reflecting on the year gone by?

At this time of year, it is so important to really sit down and reflect on the past year, as well as planning ahead for next year. People’s lives can change immensely in one year for better and for worse. It is so important to do this self reflection yearly as it will ensure you are not bringing negative habits or vibrations into the brand new year with you.

You probably already have an idea of the changes you would like to implement in order for you to thrive next year. Will you be putting yourself first more? Will you work on your boundaries? Will you stand up for yourself? Or maybe you want to carve more time out to spend with friends and family?

Look back at all your achievements big and small. What did you overcome mentally this year? What did you overcome personally this year? What can you be proud of?

Don't forget to pause and to really celebrate your success because that will raise your vibrational energy, and you will attract more good things into your life, this is scientifically proven.

On today’s Powerhouse Revolution episode, we are going to be sharing some of the 2022 best bits. Topics include setting boundaries, creative visualization, strategies for success, and so much more.

Would you like to learn how to be more successful in your leadership career?

As this episode airs it’s almost Christmas which  is a time where all of us start to focus on our goals for 2023. It is important as a leader to look at the areas that need improvement and nail down what you want from your career going forward because without this, you cannot improve.
