Ep #193: Transitioning into Executive Leadership Outside Your Subject Matter Expertise

There’s a super simple and easy way you can switch to a whole new department, industry, or area of expertise while still advancing to the executive suite and without “starting over” or being overqualified and underpaid. It’s called thinking and communicating like an executive leader. In this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to show you how to use your executive leadership skills (and not your technical skills) to bridge the gap between the role you have now and the role you really want.

Ep #192: My 3-Step Process to Go From ‘I'm Done’ to “I Have Possibilities”

The corporate world can be a bunch of Bulls&^%t. Even today, women are often stuck in lower to mid-level leadership roles while the executive suite is still mostly run by men. So after years of trying to break into higher levels of leadership and feeling resistance just because you don’t look, act, or think like the rest of the room – it can be easy to throw in the towel. So if you feel trapped to the point where you’re ready to give it all up…or you were laid off for the second time…or passed over for promotion for the third time…I get it. But here’s my question to you: What are you going to do about it? In this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I'm going to show you 3 ways you can access new possibilities in your career so you can advance YOURSELF into the position of influence and power you already deserve.

Ep #191: Career Magic, Part 3: Curiosity

If you ask any of the women I work with: ‘What got you to the level of success you're at today?’ The main thread running through all their answers would be: Curiosity. It’s tempting to throw up your hands in frustration when there appears to be an immovable obstacle between you and your next promotion. But this is where your curiosity comes in. Because: Is it really immovable? Or is there another path around it that will get you to where you want to go? Probably. But you won’t know until you get curious. In this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I'm breaking down three ways you can start to use the magic of curiosity to advance to your next level of leadership.

Ep #189: Career Magic, Part 2: Belonging

When you don’t look, think, talk and act like the rest of the room, it’s easy to feel like you’re on the outside looking in. So what do we do? We hope that our organization will create that sense of belonging for us, or we look for other organizations where we might fit in better. But this is an incredibly passive approach to your career. Here’s what corporate badasses do instead: We figure out what we need to do to really own our value and create that sense of belonging so we can carry it with us no matter where we go. In this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to break down exactly what you need to do to create that feeling of belonging in yourself so you can use it to build the career of your dreams. This is Part 2 of my 3-part series, Career Magic. In each episode, I‘ll break down a different way you can use your unique career magic on purpose to create incredible results for yourself.

Ep #187: Being Unapologetically Visible with Bibigi Haile

If being visible at work or online feels scary to you – I get it. Openly sharing your ideas with your boss, the executive team, or even on your LinkedIn profile can feel like you’re deliberately putting yourself in the crosshairs of people who want to ‘put you in your place.’ It can even cause you to be sent to the Human Resources office like a 6th grader. So what's a corporate badass to do? If you’re like most corporate women leaders, you wait for the perfect time to be visible. Which means waiting for a higher-level role or waiting to finally perfect your LinkedIn profile. But this isn’t going to help with your visibility. It’s just going to help you lean into your perfectionism and imposter syndrome so you can keep playing small. I want to show you a better way. Which is why I can’t wait to introduce you to Bibigi Haile! Bibigi gives women the license to be Unapologetically Visible, make bold moves, and stop apologizing for what they want from their professional lives. And in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, Bibigi and I discuss highly practical strategies YOU can use to own your authentic, powerful voice and become unapologetically visible.

Ep #185: Building Allies at Work NEVER Gets Easier (and That's a Good Thing)

Most of the steps inside my executive promotion process will literally transform who you are as a person. You learn the steps I teach, you implement them for a while, and within a short period of time, you are effortlessly thinking, communicating, and operating at an entirely different level of leadership. But there is one step in particular that you can never just set and forget. Over the course of your career, you are going to have to revisit this process over and over (and over) again. And that step is: Building allies. Building allies is the only part of my promotion process that never gets easier – which is also the exact reason why it works so well. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to show you ways to consistently stay on top of your ally-building toes so you can continue to enjoy major success over the entire lifetime of your career.

Ep #184: How to Deal with a Less-Obvious Toxic Boss

When we talk about toxic bosses, we often imagine someone who is aggressive, dismissive, childish, or openly rude. But the toxic bosses I’m talking about in this episode are way more insidious and absolutely deadly when it comes to your career. They’re likely sliding under your radar because they’re not overt assholes and they probably aren’t being awful to you. They may even be masking their toxic behavior by being overly nice to you. These less-obvious toxic bosses are so dangerous because they’re manipulative and codependent  – and they may be blocking you from reaching your next level of leadership and you don’t even realize it. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’ll show you the corporate badass way of recognizing and dealing with these terrible bosses so you can get unstuck in your career.
