Ep #154: Grow Your Career in 2023 by Focusing on Contentment

For me, 2022 was a year of contentment. Not contentment as in: No longer striving for something more (which is what I used to believe contentment was). But contentment as in: Being incredibly happy with where I am and growing and achieving so much more from a place of desire instead of need. And when I look back over the year my clients inside of Executive Ahead of Time and The Leadership Table have had, I see this same kind of contentment. The work that we are doing made their next promotions inevitable. And so getting promoted wasn’t a feeling of need, but a feeling of…’of course.’ Because when you know in your bones that you are great, that you have what it takes to get promoted to those executive levels, and when you know that your next promotion is just the beginning of the impact you are here to make in the world, everything comes together – and it feels so, so good. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I am sharing the different things my clients and I did in 2022 that allowed us to access this level of contentment so you can reach a whole new level of contentment and success in 2023.

Ep #152: My Market Neutral Approach to Advancing Your Career

The highs and lows of the market are inevitable. But those highs and lows having the power to totally derail your career are not. That’s why market neutrality is at the core of everything I teach to the corporate badass women I work with. Meaning: your career won’t be impacted by the highs and lows of the market. When you follow the principles of market neutrality, you can continue to advance your career, no matter what is happening in the economy. AND you can let go of all the stress and uncertainty because you’ll know you have options AND the ability to always figure things out. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I am going to show you exactly how YOU can achieve market neutrality by always deliberately managing your career.

Ep #151: Stop Using Diversity as a Selling Point and Start Being Diverse Instead

I have always been different. As a child, I stood out from other people at my school. I had bright red hair, freckles over my entire body, and I rocked a set of braces all through high school. And I was also always louder, more emotional, more dramatic, more creative, and more driven than most of the people around me. My loving and supportive family had a word for what I was: Different. Very different, actually. And so I prided myself in my difference. And I bet you lead with your difference in your career too. You may have even spotlighted your difference when going for new job opportunities. But there’s a problem with this approach. You’re so busy emphasizing your difference, that you aren’t showing the leadership team all the incredible executive leadership traits that you have in common with them. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to show you why you need to stop using your diversity as a selling point when it comes to advocating for your promotion and to start being more diverse instead.

Ep #148: Why Being a Female Executive is a Powerful Form of Social Activism

Women like you having influence and a real voice at the executive leadership table is still not widely accepted.

Ep #146: How to Accelerate Your Executive Presence in Just 15-Minutes a Week

Have you been told you need to work on your “executive presence”? I’ve spent most of my career avoiding this term because ‘You need to work on your executive presence’ often translates to ‘You need to act more like the rest of the people in the room’. (And spoiler alert: the rest of the people in the room are men.) But I’ve been reflecting on this word lately, and I’ve come to realize that I DO believe in executive presence…but not the way you've been taught about it. So in this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer, I am going to show you the real way to accelerate your executive presence using an easy-to-follow step-by-step process so you can finally get the opportunities, money, recognition, and title you deserve.
