We all hate the F-word.

Failing is one of those things that we call dread. But in order to be successful in your business, you are going to have to take risks. And sometimes those risks don’t pay off in the beginning and you feel like a failure. But it’s what you do next that matters the most.

In the latest episode of the Game of Her Own podcast, Justyne Freud, Sr. Director of Marketing for the Chicago Fire FC talks about why she refuses to play it safe even if it means failing.

Justyne shares how she bounces back from failure, she talks about what it takes to lead a team and make sure they know that it’s ok to fail.

Justyne and I not only talk about failure, but we also jump in and talk about growing in your career and advocating for yourself, how leaders can practice transparency, and how to approach working in a male-dominated industry.

Ever felt overlooked at work despite giving it everything you have? Tired of working tirelessly only to be overlooked for opportunities? Yes, I’ve been too. It’s exhausting.

Join me as I dive into the art of being assertive. We're not talking about aggression or people-pleasing, but rather the delicate dance of expressing your opinions directly and honestly, standing up for yourself, and making an impact, all while respecting others.

I unpack why we sometimes shy away from assertiveness - from gender norms and societal expectations to workplace culture and biases, lack of confidence, and even imposter syndrome.

I promise friends, it’s not all doom and gloom. We also explore the undeniable benefits of assertiveness – from improved self-confidence and self-esteem, increased compensation, and leadership opportunities, to reduced stress.

And because I don’t want you to go at it alone, we've put together 10 easy tips on how to measure your assertiveness at work. From the frequency of your participation, taking initiative, active listening, and handling disagreements, to the impact of your contributions, and much more.

It's time to step into your power, make your voice heard, and claim the recognition you deserve!
