The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast - with Dr. Dawn

If you’ve ever felt the sting of setting New Year’s resolutions that seem to vanish by February, this episode is PERFECT for you.  And since we’re airing the day before New Year’s, we’ve got JUST enough time to break down why so many resolutions fail, uncover practical solutions to keep you on track, and help you embrace 2025 with the confidence and clarity you deserve. Our theme for this year is to Thrive in 2025 and today’s episode is going to help us do JUST that! 

Did you know that according to the research, 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by the second week of February? And here are 3 key reasons for this:1) Setting Vague or Unrealistic Goals, 2) Overwhelming Yourself, and 3) Failing to Build a Supportive System. Instead of resolutions, embrace a more dynamic and effective method: goal setting based on habits and systems. Think about what you can do daily or weekly to align with your larger vision. I’ve got some great episodes that I will link here about New Year’s Resolutions one of which is an interview with my daughter when she was stationed in Japan with the Air Force. 

With that said, let’s get to some tips that can help you CRUSH your goals in 2025: (Tune in to today' episode to get ALL the specifics!). 

• Tip 1: Set clear, specific, and measurable goals.
• Tip 2: Focus on habits, not outcomes.
• Tip 3: Create a vision board or journal. 
• Tip 4: Celebrate small wins.
• Tip 5: Find an accountability partner. 

Upcoming Events: January 6th, marks the beginning of our New Year/New You 5-Day Challenge AND our interview with Dominique Sachse will be airing on that day as well.  You can head to our website at www.drdawnshoptalk.com to find out more AND don’t forget that you can also register there for our next workshop called Stress Less/Achieve More without Sacrificing Work/Life Balance.

Today we’re diving into a topic that’s as exciting as it is nerve-wracking: How to Be Confident in Interviews. Whether you're gearing up for your dream job, prepping for a career pivot, or even pitching your own business idea, confidence is your secret weapon. Now, before you think, "But Dr. Dawn, I’m not naturally confident," let me remind you of this truth: confidence is a skill, not some trait you’re always born with. Even the shyest person can develop it, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do in today’s episode. So, come back and join me for Episode 67 where we’ll talk about it all RIGHT HERE on The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast!

FIRST, let’s start with a statistic that will help explain WHY confidence matters:  Did you know, according to a study by LinkedIn, 83% of hiring managers say that confidence is a key factor in making a great first impression. But here’s the twist: confidence isn’t about being the loudest or most outgoing person in the room. In fact, some of the best entrepreneurs and leaders are self-professed introverts who learned to channel their strengths.

For those of you who watch Shark Tank, you will know my next example -  Barbara Corcoran.  For example, before becoming a real estate mogul and a Shark Tank star, she pitched her first business idea with shaky hands and a racing heart. Her secret? Preparation and practice - those are two of the steps we’re going to talk about right now!
1. Prepare Like a Pro
2. Practice Out Loud
3. Dress the Part
4. Embrace Your Strengths
5. Use the Power Pose
6. Focus on Connection
7. Handle Nervousness Like a Pro
8. Follow Up

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I have a question for you:  do the holidays make you feel more frazzled than festive?  Well, then you’re in the right place. Today, I’m breaking down 5 easy ways to keep stress in check over the holidays so you can actually enjoy the season for what it’s meant to be: a time of joy, connection, and maybe just a little bit of Holiday magic. 
But before we jump in, let’s talk about why this matters:  Ladies, we already wear a hundred hats every day: leader, colleague, mom, partner, friend, and more. When you add holiday responsibilities to the mix—shopping, cooking, decorating, hosting—it can feel impossible to keep up. And what happens when you’re stressed out?
1.  You miss the moments that matter most: Those precious times with your kids, your partner, or even a quiet moment by the fire? Gone in a blur of to-do lists. 2.  Your health takes a hit: Stress weakens your immune system, disrupts your sleep, and can even lead to burnout. 3.  Work becomes more overwhelming: End-of-year deadlines and holiday chaos can leave you feeling distracted and less productive at work, which only adds to the stress.
This is not what the holidays are supposed to feel like, so let’s change that together.
1.  Prioritize the Joy Stuff; 2.  Plan Early and Often; 3.  Delegate Like a Boss; 4.  Say No to Things That Don’t Serve You; 5.  Make Time for Self-Care (Non-Negotiable!).  Now, for details about all 5 of these action steps, tune in to today's episode!
Here’s the bottom line: You deserve to enjoy this season just as much as anyone else. The holidays should be a time to fill your cup, not empty it. If today’s episode helped you, share it with a friend who needs a little holiday stress relief and don't forget to follow us on our socials for a tip each and every Monday to start your week off on the right foot @drdawnshoptalk - you can find us on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram. Until next time, let’s make this holiday season our best yet. You’ve got this!

Hello, lovely listeners: I’m here to tell you something that may surprise you: You don’t have to work for a difficult boss. Yes, you heard that right! If you’re feeling trapped with a boss who’s critical, and unapproachable you DON’T have to settle. And HERE’S why it matters: continuing to work in such an environment COULD HAVE serious consequences to your health.  So come back and join me for Episode 62 where we’ll get into it ALL, right here, on The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast! 

As I mentioned, working for a difficult boss can ACTUALLY be dangerous for your health.  Studies show that employees with bosses who show little empathy—and with whom they lack a real connection—are 2.4 times more likely to experience an illness. 

So, let’s give you the same advice I would give one of my clients – with the right strategies, you can start taking charge of the situation today: 1.  Set Clear Boundaries: Setting limits—whether around work hours, communication, or tasks—doesn’t have to be confrontational.  2.  Find Allies and Build Support:  Having allies to share insights and vent frustrations with can go a long way in helping you feel less isolated and more resilient  3.  Invest in Yourself: Instead of focusing on what your boss is doing wrong, channel that energy into your own professional growth.  and 4. Consider Your Options:  If you’ve tried all the strategies and nothing improves, start exploring other roles or opportunities that align with your values. 

Just remember, I am here for you if you ever want to talk about this – one of the things I do love about my business is that I get to coach people one on one and so if that sounds like something that would be a great fit for you be sure to check out our coaching options on our website.

And don’t forget, I share even more weekly tips on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn so be sure to follow us on our socials @drdawnshoptalk. Have a terrific week everyone and don’t forget… “If you’re not having a fantastic day, you have the power to make it one!”

Are you feeling undermined at work?  You can’t really put your finger on it BUT your gut is telling you something, and it ain’t good.  Well, you are not alone – this can happen to us all and in today’s episode, I’m going to give you 4 powerful strategies to take back the reins right here on The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast! Whether it’s subtle passive-aggressive behavior or outright sabotage, feeling undermined can make you feel undervalued, which can then erode your confidence and disrupt your team’s dynamics. 

First, we have to start by identifying whether you are TRULY  being undermined. This could show up as coworkers not following through on tasks, talking negatively behind your back, or undercutting your authority in front of others. Once you recognize it, you can begin addressing it directly.

Now as always, tune in to today's episode to get all the details about each strategy and how to implement them, but in a nutshell, here are 5 powerful ways to face this problem:
Strategy #1: Stay Calm and Objective 
Strategy #2: Have a Direct Conversation 
Strategy #3: Strengthen Your Network of Support 
Strategy #4: Focus on Results, Not Drama

Remember, you have the power to control how you respond to these challenges – that’s why you always hear me wrap up our episodes with our motto which is "If you're not having a fantastic day, you have the power to make it one,” because it reminds us all of how much power we really have to make the choices that determine if we’re going to have a good day or not.

Now for MORE tips on how to navigate this all, be sure to follow us on social media @drdawnshoptalk! We post weekly tips on Monday to help you have a better workweek on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Have you HAD it when it comes to goal setting?  You get all motivated, set a goal, but then achieving that goal starts to feel like that light at the end of a never-ending tunnel.  And THEN, even when you can muster enough will power to actually work on that goal, you’re JUST not getting the outcome you were looking for.  Well, this never-ending cycle stops today by making ONE simple change – what you’re focusing on. THAT, my friends, is what we’re uncovering today in Episode 60 of The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast.  And today I have a special call to action for you at then END of the episode so if you stay with us to the end and listen to our instruction, you will be entered into our giveaway, and I’ll give you more details about all that at the end. 

Ok listeners, let’s get to it.  The ONE thing I want you to focus on to help you achieve everything we’re talking about today is this: SHIFT your focus from the goals themselves (in other words, what’s out of your control) to the systems you have in place (in other words, what you CAN control). Another way to put it is to focus on your behaviors…NOT the goal. That’s right, the key to reaching your big dreams lies not in setting more goals, but in refining the systems and habits that support them. 

Tune in to today's episode to get the specifics of these strategies and how to achieve them:

1.  Strategy #1: Build Consistent Habits
2.  Strategy #2: Prioritize Systems Over Outcomes
3.  Strategy #3: Track and Reflect Regularly
4.  Strategy #4: Surround Yourself with Accountability
5.  Strategy #5: Celebrate the Process, Not Just the Outcome

Ok you guys are you ready for that Call to Action to action? Well, NOW that you know how to achieve your goals by focusing on your systems, it’s time to take action! Start by choosing ONE strategy to implement today THEN, to get a chance to win our door prize, you need to do just 2 simple things: 1)  Give this video a thumbs up! 2)  Tell us in the comments below WHICH of the 5 strategies we talked about today YOU are planning on putting in place. 

If you do THOSE 2 things, you will get a chance to win a private mini coaching session with yours truly!  I’ll send you a Zoom link, we’ll get a chance to actually meet, and we’ll be able to talk about what’s going on in your career.

Speaking in front of an audience can be intimidating. But if you know the right tricks, you’ll be a step ahead of the game. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on 3 specific strategies that I’ve used for YEARS that can instantly boost your speaking game. Today’s episode is all about professional speaking, and I am so excited to reveal a few of the “secret” skills that those of us in the public speaking world use to captivate our audiences.

Strategy #1. The Pause of Power: Ever notice how the best speakers seem to effortlessly command attention without rushing through their words? Here’s their secret—they use strategic pauses.  This trick makes your audience lean in, pay attention, and hang onto your every word. The magic happens because the silence gives your key points extra weight, allowing what you just said to sink in. 

Strategy #2. The Invisible Connection: Another secret most professional speakers don’t talk about is the invisible connection they create with their audience, making you feel like they’re talking directly to you, even in a room filled with hundreds of people. 

Strategy #3. The Power of the Unexpected: Professional speakers love to surprise their audiences—but they don’t want you to know how intentional this is! Using an unexpected fact, story, or even a joke in your speech helps to shake things up and keep the audience alert.
