Ep #173: How to Use Your Anger to Transform the Leadership Table

Showing up like a corporate badass can be super hard when you’re dealing with a ton of turmoil, frustration, and quite frankly, anger over what’s happening at your organization or the world as a whole. And while it’s hard to deal with the layoffs and reorgs and fear happening in the world right now, it’s also firing something up inside of me and driving me to action, to really get up on my soapbox and say something. You might be feeling that pull as well. That pull of: “I’ve had enough!” So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to share how I have been coaching my clients to advance their careers by leaning into that anger – while ALSO not letting it control them.

Ep #172: Increase Your Curiosity Index to Get Next-Level Career Results

The Curiosity Index refers to the amount of curiosity you bring to your career. Meaning: Curiosity in your 1:1’s with your boss, curiosity during meetings with the executive team, and curiosity about alllllll the opportunities available to you right now. And your willingness to be curious about all these things (and more) is one of the most powerful tools for achieving next-level results in your career. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m doing a deep dive into how you can use your curiosity to generate higher and higher levels of success AND create opportunities for yourself that you never even could imagine were possible before.

Ep #171: The Corporate Badass Way to Recognizing and Overcoming Bias
at Work

Very early on in my executive coaching career, I began doing trainings around unconscious bias. I taught my students how to begin to recognize and notice these biases in themselves so they could counteract their biases by choosing to do something different. And that makes total sense when you are the biased person. But what do you do when you are on the receiving end of that bias? Well, you get frustrated or shut down. Or you could also choose to do something different. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’ll show you the corporate badass way of noticing bias, making better choices for how to deal with it, and thriving in your career in the face of it.

Ep #169: 3 Advanced Interview Skills to Help You Land the Leadership Role of Your Dreams

Here’s a little-known truth about job interviews: The way you show up can completely transform – or totally stall – your career. I’m not talking about whether or not you land the role. I’m talking about whether or not you’re seen as an executive leader. Because the reality is: The way you show up to an interview can keep you trapped in a technical role…or set you up for the career of your dreams. A career where you’re seen as an executive leader who can solve problems, make powerful decisions, have a huge impact, and be a vital part of the conversation. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I share the advanced interview skills that will help you create the role you really want for yourself in your next job.

Ep #168: The 3 Missing Pieces You’ll Need to Transition into Your Next Level of Leadership

One of my favorite movie scenes of all time is in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In the scene, Indiana Jones approaches a giant chasm that looks impossible to cross. He’s scared, he doesn’t know what to do…but then he realizes: He needs to take a leap of faith. He takes that first step, not knowing if anything is going to catch him. But lo and behold: there is an invisible bridge to take him all the way to the other side. You may not realize it yet, but you have so much in common with Indiana Jones. You are also standing at a chasm between where you are now and the leader you are becoming. And no matter where you are in your leadership journey right now, there are simple but invisible steps you must learn in order to transition into your next level of leadership. And in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to help you find these steps so you can set yourself up for success and make your next promotion so much easier.

Ep #167: Talk Your Way to More Confidence

Women leaders often think they need to “feel” more confident before they can advance into higher levels of leadership. But the truth is: confidence isn’t created by your feelings at all. It’s created by your actions. And you can create enormous amounts of confidence in yourself in an instant just by using your words. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to walk you through the words, sentences, and questions you can use in your conversations at work that will instantly help you create more confidence in yourself AND also appear more confident to the executive leadership team.

Ep #166:  Reclaim Your Confidence By Trusting Yourself with Nicole Kalil

As a corporate badass, I know you’re tapping into your confidence all the time. The confidence to go for the promotion. To manage up. To ask for the raise. To communicate your vision for your career.

And, as Nicole Kalil shares on this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer: The center of all that confidence is TRUST. Nicole (also known as the Confidence Sherpa) is an in-demand speaker, leadership strategist, respected coach, and host of the amazing “This Is Woman’s Work” Podcast.

Ep #165: How to Continue to Thrive When Everyone Around You is Being Laid Off

You’ve heard the news. Companies across the world are going through massive layoffs, reorgs, restructuring, and hiring freezes. And while there may be a lot of information out there for the people who’ve lost their jobs, there isn’t always much support for those leaders who are left behind to pick up the pieces. So this episode is for the leaders who just had to lay off their top performers or their entire team. The leaders who were promised a promotion that fell through. And the leaders who did get promoted, but are still struggling to find something to be positive about. In this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’ll show you how you can not only survive but thrive during these times of uncertainty. And if you’re someone who did get laid off, this episode is still for you, too. Because, chances are, you’ll be hired into another organization where things will still feel uncertain, and this episode will help you show up as the thoughtful, strategic, visionary leader that you are.

Ep #164: How Technical Leaders Can Also Get Themselves Out of the Weeds

You hear me talk about getting out of the weeds all the time. Which usually means: STOP showing up as the subject matter expert who needs to have all the answers…and START showing up as the executive who can hold strategic conversations. But let’s be real: Depending on your role, your job may require you to hold onto a certain level of your subject matter expertise. And balancing your technical skills with your need to show up as a leader can be a fine line to walk. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership, I’m going to make it super easy. I’m going to fill you in on the exact high-level strategies I’ve recently been sharing with a corporate badass inside my advanced program, The Leadership Table. Let’s dive in.
