  • Being Inspired by Chocolate
    Funny little things that occur to and consequently inspire us!
  • 5 Steps To Take Charge Of Your Professional Growth
    Sometimes change in our professional lives comes at us expectedly and unwanted, sometimes we initiate it. Either way, how we respond to changes to our professional lives is what really counts. I like to think of it as "Change is inevitable, growth is optional. Choose to grow".
  • We Can Do It Again!
    “We Can Do It!” is the banner across one of the most well-known posters during World War II encouraging women to join the workforce for the war effort. You probably remember it - the image of a woman with a red bandana on her head, rolling up her blue shirt sleeve as she makes a fist. It always communicates to me a woman’s strength and determination.
  • We All Gotta Little Bodaciousness
    Do you want feel more bodacious and wonder how? It’s easier than you may have thought! My personal experience has convinced me that in the journey of becoming a Bodacious Woman, the place to start is on the inside.
  • Think Strategically, Act Bodaciously
    Thinking strategically is intentionally thinking about the big picture of your career and life. You have to determine where you want to go before you can get there. Otherwise, it’s all just happen stance.
  • Embrace Office Politics
    Let’s be real. Every workplace is political, and the higher up the organizational chart you go, the more political the workplace gets. That’s because there’s more at stake. The higher up you go, the more things get accomplished by virtue of relationships and positioning. Bodacious Women know that the higher up you go in an organization, the more office politics you get. They also know that the question isn’t whether to play, but how.
  • Know Your Worth
    If your self-worth is tightly entwined with the company you work for, a single downturn in the market could send you spinning down the drain. You would be tempted to preserve your job there no matter what and possibly loose opportunities in other companies or the direction of your career.
  • Thrive on Shift & Change
    Shifting and changing may cause you to go through some major culture shocks and climate changes. As with every alteration in your life you create or any alteration that comes you way (let’s face it, some events are out of your hands), you may feel alien to your new circumstances. Don’t worry, you’ll grow into them.
  • Take a Stand
    It’s up to you to decide at what point you’re going to put your foot down. No one can tell you exactly how or when. But you’ll know where that point is, even if it means facing the possible consequence of putting your relationship with your employer at risk.
  • Know How You Want to Be Treated
    Are you clear about how you want people to treat you? Have you experienced your boundaries being crossed or violated? One lesson women typically have a difficult time with is establishing boundaries.
  • Actively Market Your Value
    Marketing your value may feel a little awkward at first, but with a little practice to make it feel authentic, the initial discomfort will melt away. Your reward is others viewing you with greater esteem, which sets you up for even greater success. Because, after all, success isn’t over rated, it feels fabulous!
  • Take the Work Out of Networking
    Networking. I find that women either love it or hate it. When they love it, they truly enjoy meeting others and are great at it. When they hate it, they’d rather go get a mammogram. At least in that situation, no one expects you to do more than stand there. Knowing how to network well can make or break your career.
  • Create Deliberate Relationships
    Bodacious Career builders know that in today’s business world value lies in relationships. Everything is introduced, evaluated, negotiated, bought, sold, resolved, ended, and enjoyed based on relationships. Even with all this high-tech stuff, it’s still all about people.
  • Don't Take it Personally
    "Don't take it personally" is my absolute number one favorite Bodacious Way because it comes in handy all the time. We can all remember a time when we took it personally, right?
  • 10 Things You Want Your Reputation To Say About You
    When it comes to building your business or your career in a company, how people perceive you is often to the difference between more sales, promotions, and certainly your satisfaction. Here are ten things you want your reputation to say about you.
