Ladies Get Paid How to Navigate a Career Transition When You Don't Feel Ready | Career Coaching Session
In this coaching session, I work with Bea who's facing a challenge I hear all the time: "I feel a disconnect between what I want and how to get there, but I don't know how to bridge the gap."
Bea experienced professional whiplash—her federal portfolio was decimated overnight, she landed a new job, and 5 months in, her senior director is leaving. Now she has the opportunity to step into leadership, but she feels completely unequipped and overwhelmed.
In this episode, we uncover:
- Why confidence isn't a destination you arrive at (and what to do instead)
- How to stop trying to "achieve your way" to information
- The morning practice that helps you work WITH your inner critic
- How to build allies through a strategic listening tour
- What to do when you ask for a raise and get "we'll take it under consideration"
- Why viewing colleagues as enemies keeps you stuck
If you've ever felt like you're in a holding pattern in your career, waiting to feel "ready" before taking the next step, or navigating a transition you weren't prepared for—this episode will give you a completely different framework.
