These aren't generic tips—they're the exact strategies I've seen work for thousands of women, including myself. The 5 Game-Changing Habits: ✨ Treat Confidence Like a Skill, Not a Trait: Why courage comes first, competence second, and confidence third—and how this order changes everything ✨ Invest in Skills & Stay Curious: The habit stacking strategy that turns dead time into learning time (and why curiosity is your career superpower) ✨ Build Your Opportunity Ecosystem: Why 85% of roles are filled through networking and how to make opportunities flow to you ✨ Reinvent Before You're Forced To: The "Old Me vs Bold Me" exercise that helps you disrupt yourself before the market does ✨ Manage Energy Like Currency: Why the top 1% measure performance by how they feel, not just what they produce You'll Also Discover: • The "stretch zone" strategy that accelerates growth • Why waiting to feel ready is career suicide • How to stack learning into the cracks of your day • The networking moves that actually create opportunities • Why your network is your net worth (especially mid-career) • The "Bold Gap" and why discomfort is the price of transformation • Energy management tactics that multiply your performance Perfect for Women Who: • Feel stuck despite working harder than ever • Want to join the top 1% but don't know where to start • Are ready to stop waiting for opportunities and start creating them • Know they need to future-proof their skills but feel overwhelmed • Want practical habits they can implement immediately The difference between average and exceptional isn't talent—it's habits. These five strategies have transformed my career from beauty therapist to tech recruiter to business owner to author and tech founder. They work because they're not about working harder; they're about playing a different game entirely. ____________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction and thank you to Sisterhood Social attendees 02:30 - The truth about the top 1% of career women 04:00 - Habit #1: Confidence as a skill (courage first strategy) 07:15 - The stretch zone and why readiness is a myth 09:00 - Habit #2: Invest in skills and curiosity 11:30 - Habit stacking: How to learn without extra time 13:00 - Habit #3: Building your opportunity ecosystem 15:30 - Why 85% of roles come through networking 17:00 - Habit #4: Reinvent before you're forced to 19:00 - The Old Me vs Bold Me exercise 21:00 - Understanding the Bold Gap 23:00 - Habit #5: Energy management over time management 25:30 - Energy creation strategies that work 27:00 - Recap and your next bold move 28:30 - Challenge: Which habit will you implement this week?
