Welcome to the last episode of the Fierce Feminine Leadership podcast for 2016! As we wrap up the year, I want to discuss an important topic for you to think about as you are planning your 2017 path to success – gender bias. What is gender bias? Is it still alive and well in today's working world? Keep Reading > Absolutely. Unfortunately, despite the incredible strides women in business have made over the past several years, gender bias is still a major part of our work, culture, and society. The beast still lives and breathes – it's just harder to spot. Today, I'm going to talk about what gender bias looks like in today's working society, and how, although things are getting better at the middle-management level – top-level positions within many organizations still have plenty of room for improvement. "When the 'solutions' for a problem are the problem themselves – that's how you know that gender bias is alive and well" Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: In the upper echelons of power, things are not changing much for female leaders. Gender bias has morphed into a nuanced phenomenon that has become harder to notice. Women make up approximately 50% of Silicon Valley law firm associates – but only 17% of their equity partners. Women make up only 4.6% of the CEOs of the S&P 500. There's been a lot of movement at the middle-leadership levels, but the number of women in senior management positions have hardly moved in over 20 years. Women have the choice to build the skills they need to navigate the broken system.

Over the course of the last several episodes, we have heavily discussed ways to help you take your business and career to the next level in 2017. Today, I want to discuss what the phrase "Work Smarter, Not Harder" really means so that you can plan your upcoming year down the right path toward success. Keep Reading >> Working smarter doesn't necessarily mean focusing exclusively on "doing the work." Working hard is important, but there are other critical things you should consider and implement to truly make an impact in your community, your business, and your industry. Today, I'm going to share the top 5 ways that many of the high-level, successful entrepreneurs and thought-leaders that I have worked with over the years have shared with me. Ask yourself where you are in your genius zone. 5 Ways to Work Smarter in 2017: Leverage your competitive advantage – Identify and understand what your competitive advantage is – then leverage it as much as you can with great intention. Mediocre strategy, brilliant execution – Focus less on the strategy and more on the execution. Embrace today ­- The hunger to succeed is a good thing – it keeps you motivated to move forward, but it's also important to remember that it's okay to embrace the present. View today's challenges as gifts and the gateway to reaching your next level of success. Develop your delivery system – Hard work is critical, but it also gets you more hard work. Your delivery mechanism is the basis of building up your pre-eminence and influence within your industry. Be Courageous – When you hold back information or an idea from other people, you're being selfish. When you operate from a place of confidence and courage, you will work much smarter. My Challenge to You: Ask yourself: What are you doing that feels easy for you; that is fun for you to do and you can do quickly? What are you good at that people keep asking you about? Stay focused on decent strategies, but move quickly into acting and executing on those strategies. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Don't just keep your nose buried in doing the work. Work on building your delivery system. Be courageous and share your ideas.

It's that time of year again! Time for fierce feminine leaders to take a step back and reflect on the year they have had in 2016. Time to make plans for the upcoming 2017 year, envisioning the big goals they want to achieve for their business or career and map out how they want to achieve those goals. Keep Reading >> So, over the course of the next few episodes, I want to help you map out your success strategy for 2017 through a few "mini trainings" that will help you make 2017 your best, most productive year ever! If you've listened to episode 101, you'll remember that I shared how my fierce team and I was able to achieve all of our goals this year and the productivity secrets we used to get it all done – all while juggling our everyday life commitments and responsibilities. Today, I want to share with you 5 tips we use to improve our commitment level to help us stay on task, stay motivated, and just get things done. When it comes to integrity – your word is your bond. Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: Everyone has wishes for their business or career – but without commitment, it doesn't evolve into an actionable goal. Don't live in a state of "wish-hood." Create an action plan to turn that wish into a reality. The difference between the ladies that make things happen and those who keep wishing things would happen – is commitment. Commitment gives you purpose. It gives you something to drive toward. 5 Fierce Ways to Increase Your Commitment Level: Prune First – Make space for good things to happen. Take a close look at what is no longer serving you. Make Use of Visual Anchors – Visual reminders are a constant reminder of what you have committed to. They keep your goals at the forefront of your daily planning and strategy, making you more likely to achieve those goals. Make a Public Announcement – Telling people about your goals helps you become more committed to them and feel more accountable about fulfilling them. Take Decisive Action – Decide to make a significant investment in achieving your goals. Manage Your Thoughts – Especially the thoughts you have related to risk and fear.

Are you a high performing women leader who might be standing in her own way and not seeing a professional or personal breakthrough? I've taken hundreds of clarity calls over the last couple years with women who have high potential, are high achieving, and looking for a breakthrough. You aren't the only fierce woman entrepreneur who has something blocking their breakout result. As a coach, mentor and thought partner, one of the key things, as I do, is to reframe thought processes and perspectives so the indomitable women I coach make peace with the noise between their ears and accomplish what they aspire to do and be. Do you envision taking your seat at the table, fast tracking into the CEO spot, double your sales or make an enormous difference people's lives? Do you want to create breakout results? On today's episode, I enthusiastically encourage you to stay in a place of action, so you move forward and step out of your own way by reframing your beliefs. "We are as a group wealthy powerful and educated, so we have an immense opportunity, and if we are aware of it, we can use it for social good in 2017." Here's a Breakdown of Today's Show: I talk about office politics in our role as women leaders. Why you need to get involved in office politics. I tell you how the power players dip their toes into new areas and how they react to the unknown. I share my interpretation of confidence as it relates to fierce feminine leaders. You'll hear my views on focusing on your 'thing' at the expense of other areas of business. Why many women who leave the corporate world to become entrepreneurs never replace their corporate income. I discuss what some high performing women struggle with. I give you advice on privilege as I interpret it. Top 5 Reframes for 2017: Reframe politics to diplomacy. Reframe confidence to courage. Reframe business to sales. Reframe clarity to next step. Reframe must get to get to. Mentioned on today's episode: Episode 98 - Advice from a Billion Dollar CEO Love the show? Let us know!

Do you tend to put others before yourself? Do you shrink away from being powerful because you associate it with aggression or dominance which we consider to be masculine traits? Many of us want to step into our power, but we don't want to have the negative connotations of manliness attributed to us, and we may see it as a burden and become invisible instead of reveling in our magical power.
