Confidence is the outcome of taking action, regardless of how you feel.

Take the next level by storm.

Don't wait for confidence to magically appear so you can take action.

Take the next level by storm.

Hi, I'm Sarah.

Let me ask you a few questions:

  • Do you wish you had more executive presence?
  • Is your answer to burnout to just work harder to “get it all done?”
  • Do you make up for a lack of confidence by over-preparing for your meetings?
  • Are you a chronic people pleaser?
  • Do you struggle to speak up and advocate for yourself?

Guess what? You’re not alone. I have been in your shoes. And so have my clients. We’ve all made life-changing shifts, and you can too. Here are some examples of what’s possible:

  • Establish clear boundaries so work doesn’t feel like a one-sided sacrifice.
  • Earn well-deserved raises and noteworthy promotions.
  • Create the role you’ve always wanted—that aligns with your goals and benefits the organization.
  • Pitch career-making projects with confidence, conviction and strength.
  • Create lasting habits to support the life you want to live.
  • Ditch the Imposter Syndrome.
  • Master the ability to communicate with clarity and confidence.
  • Cultivate the skills to exude executive presence and influence.

It’s time to step out of your comfort zone, and put yourself at the top of your priority list.

6 Strategies for Navigating the Career Development Maze

Is it just me, or does the concept of “Career Development” stymie many people? If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone. Employees often struggle to manage their careers, and managers grapple with how best to support them. (If you fall outside either or both of these camps, let me be the first this week to say, “Yay, you!”) When I’m working with managers, these questions frequently arise: These are all valid concerns. Let’s dive into some strategies and ideas to help you navigate the waters. 1. The Career Development Trifecta: A Three-Way Partnership Think of career development as a three-way partnership involving the employee, you (the manager), and the organization. This approach is most effective when it’s: Employee-driven – It’s ultimately up to the employee to identify and articulate where they want their career to go. Your job isn’t to figure this out for them. If they’re unsure, that’s okay! Your role is to partner with them and help them gain clarity. Manager-facilitated – As a manager, think of yourself as an air-traffic controller. Your job is to: Remember, you don’t need to have all the answers. Your primary task is to ask questions and guide them toward resources and opportunities. Company-supported – Most organizations have a vested interest in employee development. They often provide resources such as: Get familiar with what your company offers so you can direct your team members to these resources. 2. Redefine Career Development At its core, career development is about helping people grow. That’s it! This simple definition should take some pressure off. Your role is to: 3. Growth Isn’t Always Vertical Remember, “up” is not the only way to grow. Many employees are interested in learning and developing without necessarily seeking a promotion. Here are some alternative growth paths: 4. Look for Different Mediums to Help People Grow While providing information through articles, videos, blogs, trade publications, networking, and job shadowing is valuable, the real growth happens when employees apply newly acquired knowledge. To maximize learning: 5. Be Transparent Honesty is crucial in career development discussions, especially when addressing aspirations that may not align with current opportunities. When faced with such situations: 6. Ask for Help Remember, you don’t have to navigate career development alone. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure about how to support an employee: Remember, career development is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. By consistently engaging with your team members about their growth and aspirations, you’re not just developing careers – you’re building trust, boosting motivation, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

The Myth of Perfection

I’m coming to you with a PSA: Perfection is unattainable. Stop trying so hard. If I had a dollar for every client or colleague who has said “I’m a perfectionist.” I would be a VERY wealthy woman today. To say, “I’m a perfectionist,” implies that we want to get things done flawlessly. While producing high caliber work, whether it’s for a job or a hobby, is a noble pursuit, it can be like trying to bathe a cat → hard to achieve! Somehow, society has groomed most of us to think that there is value and worth in perfection. And that anything less will somehow relegate us to a place of eternal damnation with no friends or chocolate ice cream. (I’ve got ice cream on the brain…) The reality is that in the human realm, perfection is a myth. In his commencement address at Dartmouth College, tennis legend Roger Federer said, “Perfection is impossible.” He then continues to break down his tennis stats to illustrate the example and says, “… even top ranked tennis players win barely half the points they play.” In business, it’s hard to imagine being successful on barely half of the projects or tasks we work on. And it’s also difficult to fathom the stress, hours, mental energy, and everything else that goes into trying to be “perfect.” So what if instead of trying to be perfect, you simply aimed to be better than you are today? Maybe even just 1% better?  I know, 1% sounds so minuscule it would be easy to think it’s not worth aiming for. The compound effect over time however, is actually quite significant. Not sure about you, but if I am going to invest the time and energy to improve myself, I’m more inclined to go for small gains because I have seen first hand for both myself and clients, how they add up over time and yield big results. That sounds more productive than going after perfection, which we now know, is unattainable.  You can see the clip of Roger talking about perfection here. (1:12 minute clip)Now go out there and be imperfectly human and imperfectly you!
