My guest today literally wrote the book on coaching people to succeed in businesses large and small around the globe. She argues that women learn a distinctive set of behaviors in girlhood that ultimately sabotage them as adults both in their professional and personal lives. Her name is Dr. Lois P. Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office: 101 Unconscious Mistakes Women Make to Sabotage Their Careers. Today on the show, Dr. Frankel discusses how we can transcend our social programming by coaching ourselves to move towards fulfillment and self-actualization. We begin our show discussing how Dr. Frankel overcame the nice girl trap herself and how you too can become conscious of how you’re acting like a girl well into adulthood. Dr. Frankel then walks us through seven of the most common mistakes women in uniform make while trying to climb the ranks and how we can take action to get our needs met and reach our full potential by acting in mature, self-actualized ways, and ladies that does not mean acting like a man. We end our conversation discussing how you can put Dr. Frankel’s coaching tips into action so you too can become a master of your command presence. There’s lots of useful, actionable advice in the show and after it’s over check out the show notes at masterofhercraft.com.
