2: How Women IT Executives Overcome the Time Crunch
05/14/23 • 6 min
I've had countless conversations with women who were frustrated because they habitually deprioritzed their own needs.
In this episode I'll focus on the primary reasons you find it so difficult to find the time to do what’s important to you and examine some of the choices you have available to you to embed some new behaviors.
If there’s a topic you’d like me to discuss, please send me a message.
Over my career, I have accepted various promotions in the corporate space.
Then, at a certain point, I realized that something was very wrong.
I was the only woman in the room. Perhaps there were other women out there experiencing the same. And perhaps those women needed mentors. So, I decided to walk away from my high-paying executive job and started Living While Leading.
High-performing women deserve to be supported through the unique challenges they face in male-dominated spaces.
This is where OWN THE ROOM comes in. You work hard to build your expertise and reputation. You may question if you’re genuinely being seen or heard in specific spaces. This self-doubt impacts visibility, erodes confidence, and affects how others perceive your value.
In your one-off OWN THE ROOM 90-minute private session, I’ll help prioritize individual goals and brainstorm actionable steps.
Then, there’s my 3-month coaching program: the LWL 4-step system. You get weekly tailored sessions for 3 months for 1 hour to help you reach your goals.
Don’t wait for the “perfect” time to invest in yourself. The right time is now. Work with me to unlock your potential and ensure you own every room you enter.
