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.

Ep #183: Eradicating the BS that Plagues the Corporate Workplace with Erin Hatzikostas

There is a lot of BS lurking around every single corner of your workplace. BS like: thinking you need to hustle yourself into an early grave or treating the executive team like they’re high up on a golden throne instead of seeing them as peers you can start building relationships with.

To help you make this happen, I’ve asked one of the most authentic leaders I know to join me on this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer.

Ep #181: The Feminine Way to Become a Corporate Athlete

A lot of the concepts and action items we traditionally associate with becoming a corporate athlete are rooted in masculine ideals around leadership and high-performance. Many of the male leaders I’ve spoken with over the years describe their secrets to success as doing more. More meetings, more work, more highly productive morning routines. But there is a much more feminine approach to becoming a corporate athlete that is not only more effective, but also leads to less burnout, more career opportunities, and you’re going to feel inspired to commit to it every single day. In this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m breaking down the three things badass women leaders do differently so they can find major success at the executive level.

Ep #180: Break the Burnout Cycle and Rediscover Your Greatness with Christy Rutherford

I will never teach you how to hustle your way to the executive suite. Look at it this way: If you focus solely on getting your next promotion – without taking care of yourself in all aspects of your life – you are going to arrive at the leadership table already burnt out and unable to make the impact you always dreamed of making. This is NOT my vision for you and your career. Which is exactly why I’m so excited to have Christy Rutherford on this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer. Christy was the 13th African American woman to achieve the rank of Commander in the U.S. Coast Guard and today she works as an executive coach who helps women get promoted using office politics and self-care. In this episode, we dive into how you can break free of the burnout cycle, re-discover the corporate badass woman you already are, and get the title and compensation you actually deserved all along.

Ep #179: The Corporate Badass Way of Setting Boundaries at Work

We’ve all had those frustrating moments in our lives where we thought: “If I could just get better at setting boundaries, everything would be so much easier!” But here’s the truth: You are so much better at setting boundaries than you think you are. But thinking you’re terrible at setting boundaries is just one of the ways that you’re holding yourself back from setting the kind of boundaries that will help you reach your next level of leadership. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’ll share everything I have learned about boundaries over the years and how YOU can set the kind of boundaries that will help you reach and thrive at the executive level.

Ep #178: My Leadership Mission to Give Agency to All Women in Corporate

The vast majority of corporate women don’t have any agency at work because the corporate structure was literally set up to prevent us from having it. So if you feel like a corporate badass, yet you’re waiting for your next performance review to get promoted, you don’t have enough agency. Or if you’re worried to death about being laid off – or you fall into a deep despair when you are – you don’t have enough agency. A lack of agency is at the root of so much of the pain and suffering you may be experiencing in your career right now. But helping you reclaim your agency so you can find your voice and create a life and career that truly belongs to YOU is at the heart of every single thing I teach. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I reveal why agency is the key to unlocking every single thing you truly want from your career.

Ep #177: The Anger Episode with Angela Han

Anger is a dirty word in the corporate world, especially for women. You’ve probably experienced this firsthand. You showed up as the corporate badass you are, you really went for the promotion…and now you’re labeled as “too aggressive” or “too angry” to get promoted. But let’s get real. Executive leaders get mad. A lot. And learning how to deal with your anger is one of the skills that’s going to help you become an incredible, next-level executive leader. Which is exactly why I invited Angela Han onto this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer. Angela is an anger coach on a mission to help people find out what to do with their anger. And in this episode, we dive into why you need to stop suppressing your anger so it doesn’t boil over and blow up your career…and start making your anger work for you instead.

Ep #176: Use Your 3Xed Vision to Make Your Next Promotion Inevitable

Want to reach amazing new heights in your career? Then you need to own the leadership path you want to be on. One of the most powerful processes I teach my corporate badasses inside of Executive Ahead of Time is figuring out their 3xed Vision. Which means: Figuring out where you want to be in your career, not one promotion from now, but three promotions from now. Because, when you realize that your next promotion is actually just the beginning of everything you want to accomplish in your career – it’s going to be so much easier to reach your next level of leadership. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to give you the tools you need to not only tap into your 3xed Vision, but to begin to turn that vision into reality.

Ep #175: Exposing the Truth about Executive Presence

Being told to “build your executive presence” can really, really suck. Because, when you’re receiving this feedback, you are never actually told: A) How to get more of it, and… B) What the heck it even means in the first place. But I’ve been perfecting the process of building executive presence for YEARS. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I am exposing what executive presence REALLY means and how YOU can get more of it. If executive presence has often felt like this nebulous, impossible-to-create thing, you need to listen in. I’m going to make it SO much easier for you.
