Have you ever been afraid to speak up at work for fear of being labeled bossy, pushy, or aggressive? I have, and for the longest time, I stayed quiet because of it. I was too busy criticizing my own thoughts and worrying about what others thought, rather than sharing my ideas, asking questions, or stating my opinions based on my education and experience. When I have shared my opinions, asked questions, or presented ideas, I've been labeled as "too this or that," but it doesn't stop me anymore. I've probably even been called a bitch behind my back, and that's okay. My guest today, Dr. Alessandra Wall, and I discuss how to be a powerhouse, avoid negative labels, and stop worrying about backlash. During our conversation, Dr. Alessandra and I discuss: ●       Her transition from a full-time counseling practice to her work as an executive coach for women ●       What led her to start her company, Noteworthy ●       The importance of visibility for women who want to get promoted ●       How women can be visible and own their authority without being called a bitch ●       The science behind this process ●       The internal resistance that executive women face when seeking visibility and authority, and how to overcome it ●       The systems that executive women need to put in place ●       How Dr. Alessandra works with her female executive clients Believe me, I learned some valuable lessons during this conversation that I wish I had known when whispers of "she’s a bitch" were being said behind my back. Let’s learn together how to artfully gain visibility, get promoted, and own our authority. Shall we?
