The stock market a new low which has weakened the economy, the events industry has seen massive conference cancellations, and the travel and hospitality industries are losing income. As it continues to spread around the world, businesses are taking precautions encouraging people to just stay home.

Along with current news cycle reminding us to constantly wash our hands and...

We don’t talk enough about menopause, and I believe it’s because it only impacts half of the population. While we’ll talk about it amongst ourselves, the impact of menopause on our mental and physical well-being not only effects how we live our lives, but also how we manage our careers.

Menopause usually occurs between 45 and 55, which is a critical stage of our careers. In fact, it's when we’re most likely to be in leadership roles. I was 46 when my body kicked...

Did you know that we are full swing into interview season?? 

Everyone's back in full swing from the holiday season, hiring managers have received new hiring budgets for the year, and there's a backlog of hiring that was placed on hold from the Thanksgiving to Christmas seasons. 

As a result, this is also the time of year that I receive a lot of client requests for interview prep support, anything from resumes to image consulting. Because my...

When it comes to interviewing most people get overwhelming nervous or overly relaxed. Either they show up too sure of themselves or they approach it like an audition instead of what it really is...a conversation. 

If you've been invited to an interview, bravo you! That means you've made it through the 250 resumes they were probably reviewing for that one position. Now that you're one of the four candidates selected to be seen, you make to make sure you "wow the crowd" so that you can be...

When you think about the concept of wealth or capital, what immediately comes to mind is money...an abundance of money. However, social scientist Tara Yosso believes all forms of capital can be used to empower individuals, particularly from a cultural point of view. 

While her research focused on how students of color can capture and fully express their talents, strengths and experiences in their college environment, the concept of cultural wealth has application in career...

It's TV Tuesday and I'm back on the set of AM Northwest sharing about the signs you may be experiencing that are telling you it's time to make a job move.

Recently on the blog I also shared how to tell if you're just in a rut or if it's time for change, so check that too!

Watch the video below:

Which of these 8 Signs are you experiencing?

1. You're frequently sick: while your mind may be telling you to stay, your body is begging you to leave because you're frequently catching colds...

Recently I sent an email out to my tribe asking them to answer two questions:  (1) "Do you love your job?" and (2) "Are you struggling getting up and going to work?"

Initially, I received several "I love my job" responses, which is always a great thing to hear. Then the "I can't wait to get out of this job" responses started rolling in. 

However, it was the "Some days it's great but most days it sucks" responses that actually caught my attention.

You see, I don't believe...

Here we are.

Eight days away from not only a new year, but a new decade!

Can you believe it? It's both surreal and exciting to be on the precipice of 2020. 

However, while I'm excited to see what the future holds, as I always tell my clients, it's important to take a moment to reflect on your past to glean the lessons learned that can be applied for your future.

So as I reviewed the significant events of my life and business over the last 10 years, five critical lessons...

As we look toward the new year in a couple weeks, it's a great time to evaluate your goals and what you really want.  It's also the perfect time to look at what's not working and how to make the necessary adjustments for greater success.

Over the last 20 years coaching and training professionals around the world, I’ve watched women build careers they thought would make them happy, only to wake up one day to realize they're anything but happy and confused on how they go there....

It's that time of year. Time to acknowledge your team, reward your staff, celebrate your clients, thank you mentors, and to spread a little love to those who have supported you and had your back in 2019.

If you want to do more than just get a stack of gift cards (which aren't always a bad gift idea), here are a few ideas that may make a bigger impact.

I know we've grown accustomed to connecting via text and email because it's the easiest way to stay in touch in our...
