If getting better paid and promoted were simply based on being excellent at what you do, you'd have been a millionaire CXO years ago.
So why shouldn't you be paid at the top of the pay range?
You did something miraculous and wondrous with your body.
You created a new life, a new consciousness. You went on maternity leave, which is your right.
If you’re coming back and realizing you’ll have more work on your plate, this is what it means…
Now that things are slowing down and she has bandwidth… it feels very uncomfortable.
Like people don’t have confidence in her (otherwise, why would they withhold more work from her?).
Here’s how I coached my client.
😤 “She was dismissive of me in a meeting I led. She thinks she’s smarter than me,” a client vented today in a coaching session.

In the interactive workshop, I walk volunteers through exactly how to do peripheral vision and bilateral stimulation, two self-directed neuroplasticity tools I learned from my mentor Melissa Tiers, author of the Anti-Anxiety Toolkit. In the book, Melissa states she intends to get the reader to learn these rapid techniques to rewire the brain FAST and, within minutes, experience a palpable shift in their bodies.

A career and executive coach for women.
Someone learning to navigate the perimenopause journey.
I used to be a high-strung, high-anxiety high-achiever who was convinced she wasn't achieving fast enough.
Got downtime on the job? I must be doing something wrong.
Got hired at a hedge fund? My job can't possibly be safe, because I don't know enough.
I turned away a prospective client today. She’s someone who’d fit my “best fit client” profile (if you’d excuse the marketing speak). Smart, competent, promoted in the STEM field. A potential feminist hero 🦸♀️!
Wanna get promoted by Q4?
Here’s how.
No funny stuff.
The dead simple answer.
A client came to the session saying that she was having trouble advocating for herself at work because the issue felt like this (places palm over face) -- that she had no objectivity. The issue felt too close for comfort. She couldn't see the broader picture, and she felt stuck. If you can relate to this, try this technique I demonstrate in a 3-minute video tutorial.
