As you conform to what you believe others want from you, you cancel out your unique ideas, your need for support, and even the perception you desire to advance.

Being too good of an expert keeps you, and the organization, in an advancement trap. You can't grow because people need you too much.

Hard work alone isn't enough—visibility, influence, and relationships matter just as much. Trusted Impact Makers build relationships, take on high-profile projects, and ensure their contributions are recognized.

You can advance while also feeling fear. You can interview while also feeling nervous. You can take the next step while also feeling worried.

We don't change until the discomfort of our current situation outweighs the fear of the unknown.

Myth: The biggest barrier to women’s advancement is the ‘glass ceiling.’ Reality: The ‘broken rung’ is the greatest obstacle on the path to senior leadership.

We don't need more resolutions. We need intentions that anchor us through change. For 2024, my word is courage—not to take risks, but to endure criticism in service of meaningful impact.

I was putting so much pressure on myself to nail my talk on my first try when SO MANY speakers have a slip up that is edited out.

As it became clear that my Tedx Talk would be about what I call the “pedestal problem," I had to figure out how to tell the compelling story

Why do we we put others on a pedestal and assume they are smarter than us, and therefore, we silence our ideas?

People value connection over perfection. Nervous about presenting? Shift your focus from your fear to your audience: What do they need to know—and how do you want them to feel?

Sometimes we say yes to everything and then try to find balance—instead of finding balance by not saying yes to everything.

We can remain in firm alignment with our values and what we stand for WHILE ALSO finding the common humanity in us all.
