Ep #133: My 30-60-90 Day Plan for Killing It In Your New Role

The first 90 days in your new role is the perfect time to put your head down, check all the boxes on your to-do list, and really prove yourself, right? WRONG!! I call this approach the ‘being-a-good-employee’ mindset. But remember: corporate badasses don’t settle for being a ‘good employee’. We show up to our new roles thinking, communicating, and performing like the executive leaders we already are. And what do executive leaders do? They nail the expectations for the role… And they also don’t waste any time building the foundation for their NEXT promotion. So in this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer, I'm laying out each step of my 30-60-90 day plan so you can set yourself up for long-term success. And even if you haven't been promoted recently, you're going to want to listen to this episode because you can start implementing these teachings now.

Ep #132: 5 Women's Leadership Tips You Can Use to Advance Your Career Right Now

Earlier on in my career, I was a cookie cutter leadership coach for corporate women. And this experience of training women to be amazing leaders is the foundation for all of the work I do today. But…It has its downsides. I’ve seen first hand how the standard women’s leadership advice could help women get better at their jobs…but not actually help them advance to the executive suite. That’s why the work I’m doing on this podcast, in my book, and in my programs has grown beyond the standard women’s leadership advice. I call it: Women’s Leadership 2.0. But even though I am all about this next-level style of women’s leadership, I know there are some critical building blocks from Women’s Leadership 1.0 that you may still be missing. So in this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer, I’m going back to basics and sharing five foundational skills that every woman leader needs to know.

Ep #130: How Women are Redefining the Economy with Katrine Marçal

There’s a belief in economics that self-interest is the thing that motivates economic activity. But what if that’s…wrong? I know YOU want the title, the pay increase, and the recognition. And sure, that IS self-interest. And that’s great. But we both know that you want so much more than that. You want to land the promotion AND you want to be the corporate badass who brings more diversity to the leadership table. Because women like you aren't interested only in self-interest. You’re interested in being part of something so much bigger than that, too. As a world-renowned author and thought leader on women and innovation, Katrine Marçal, says in this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer: “When you add women to the story of economics and stir it around, the whole narrative changes.” In this episode, we get raw and real about how to bring more women into the conversation around money and economics.

Ep #129: How Your Fear of Micromanaging is Stopping You from Leading like an Executive

You are not micromanaging your team enough. Now before you say, “But Stacy you told me to get out of the weeds?!” Yes, that is true. BUT part of the reason you are in the weeds is because you are not micromanaging your team enough. Now hear me out.  I know you cringe at the idea of being called a micromanager. But…it’s precisely because you’re so afraid of being seen as a micromanager that you aren’t acting like an executive leader. So I encourage you to start micromanaging a little more BUT in the RIGHT way. That’s why in this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to show you how you can become an amazing leader of your team by not micromanaging details, but micromanaging expectations instead.

Ep #128: The REAL Reason Why You Need to Go for the Promotion

If you’re getting lots of accolades, landing promotions, securing higher and higher pay raises, you may start to look around and wonder…what’s all this REALLY for? The truth is, a lot of women stop advancing in their careers once they hit the senior manager level. And it’s not because they don’t have what it takes to advance to upper levels of leadership. But it is because they don’t always like what they see. The women I work with want the title, the income, the influence, and the power, but they don’t want it to hoard for themselves. They want power with people, not over people. They want unlimited funds so they can pour their money into people and organizations that matter. And they want to use their influence to not just get themselves promoted, but to transform how their organization does business from the C-Suite out. So if you’ve ever wondered ‘what’s this all for?’, then you need to tune into this episode. In this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer, I’m diving into why your next promotion really does matter and I’m going to show you all the things you can reject as you make your way to the top.

Ep #127: How to Paint a Vision that Makes Your Next Promotion INEVITABLE

There is so much more to getting promoted than the ‘how’. The how is the nuts and bolts that gets you there. But your vision? Your vision gives you the inspiration and commitment you need to reach your big goals and uplift every area of your life in the process. And when you have clarity on your vision for your career AND you can clearly communicate that vision to the leadership team, your next promotion will become inevitable. So in this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer, I’m giving you some tips and major inspiration that will help you tap into your vision and values so you can show the executive team that you’re ready to lead at that next level. Let’s dive in.
