Are you a deliberate or default lifer? A default life is one that feels repetitive and detached from purpose or meaning. When you take a deliberate approach to life, you are active in the thinking, imagining and mentally rehearsing the experiences you desire. In this week's epic, I share an extraordinary method of reviewing your year and setting yourself up for quantum leaps towards success in the year ahead. Take some time to deliberately mold your path to success by doing this activity either by yourself or with others.

Quiet Quitting is yet another recent trending issue that many leaders have been worrying about. The truth is that many don't understand what it is or why it's happening. In this epic, I share a recording from a lunch n learn I did on the topic. My perspective is that burnout is a huge contributor to why women are quitting while on the job. What do you think?

In May 2019 the WHO officially designated burnout as an occupational phenomenon. According to the documentation captured from the WHO site:

"Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions:

• feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;
• increased mental distance from one's job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and
• reduced professional efficacy."

This episode I explore burnout through the seven lenses that it can potentially be created. Common issues that are expected to cause burnout include excessive workload, lack of rest and depleted motivation. However there are other less considered circumstances that happen in the workplace that can also create burnout.

Are you suffering from your golden handcuffs? Do you even recognize when you're in the mind trap of job security with no options?

This episode we dive into one of my big aha moments about the relationship between our perceived attachment to our jobs and the financial security they provide. Many women aren't aware that there's a concept called the golden handcuffs and how our thinking about this can affect our joy on the job.

There are endless reasons why having a job can be justified, the most significant being the steady income it provides. The challenge some women experience is feeling that they have no power because of the way they think about "job security". This not only creates a negative response to leaders, but it also affects how much of our value we give up.

Highlights

What are golden handcuffs?

What is the gilded cage?

Ways that women can ascertain their value at work

The distinction between internal value and practical value

The power of self assertion in freeing yourself

Why we can't blame companies for the handcuffs

How to create a dramatic shift in how you view the handcuffs and create your way out

Imagine a workplace that was designed for today's woman… no seriously. What would it be like?

In a recent conversation online, I asked persons to share what would be different about a work environment that was completely designed by women. The responses from the community were Epic. There were some simple suggestions that companies can implement right away, proving that much of this just requires the right type of focused effort.

We also get great insights from the men who chimed in to share their thoughts on what would make work easier for women. To top off the discussion, I share about some of the things that I would shift and adjustments I had to make as a working mom.

Highlights

The top themes that came up

The surprising design element that was put forward by a man

One of the best perks at work I've experienced as a mom

Where's the support for women in the nine to five space?

I'm not talking about the conversations happening around diversity, equity, and inclusion. I'm talking about programs to help women be successful when they get opportunities. To help them to go beyond the technical skills required but to expand into everything else you need to really be a boss, own your space, and own the room.

I've made the decision to curate a very special program for women in the working world, to give women the support I really needed 10 to 20 years ago. I had my training, I had the degrees, but when it came to success in leadership, I was flying by the seat of my pants half the time. This program is called Femme Powered.

Femme Powered is focused on solving the problems that women in traditional 9-5 jobs have in 3 primary areas: power, presence, and resilience. This episode explores what each of these things means and how some people may be experiencing challenges in each area. Enjoy the epic!

Highlights

The lack of support for professional women and their careers

The three core areas of focus in the Femme Powered program

Understanding the different aspects of power

Distinguishing between technical skills and leadership skills

The facets of being a present leader

Recognizing how your presence impacts your ability to lead

Simple steps you can take to improve your presence

The memorability factor

The true meaning of femme resilience

Today's Epic Intention card: I am authentic.

Why mental resilience is so important

The snap back from the setback starts in your mind

We tend to think that there has to be a negative situation for us to move on from the work that we are doing. That's not always the case.

Since the pandemic, droves of women have been leaving their jobs or downshifting their positions. From the stresses of the pandemic to looking for alternate ways to express their greatness, many women have decided to change their status quo. I'm no different.

Over the last couple of months, I've been exploring the different ways I can express my greatness with my career, including taking a sabbatical to make space for me to test the waters of full-time entrepreneurship. Now it's time to get back to working in a new way.

Today we're talking about whether you should be releasing your job. I'm pumped up about this discussion because it's one of those questions I've heard more and more. In this episode, I'm sharing the top three criteria (and a bonus!) that need to be in place for you to feel fulfilled in your career, red flags that signal you should start seriously considering alternatives, what it looks like to grow and thrive as a leader, and more. Enjoy the epic!

Highlights

What I learned from my sabbatical experience

My interpretation of "release my job"

Reframing the desire to reconsider your career options

The three lenses that make work meaningful

What it means to be learning technically and professionally

The importance of growing as a leader and as an individual

Today's Epic Intention Card

What to do when you've completed the mission you set for yourself

Recognizing when your work environment does not support you
