Talking Confidence: Confidence of Young Women in College & High School, Part 1 - Texas Woman's University

Talking Confidence: Why Networking is Necessary
The importance of networking should not be underestimated. I say this because, I did not do it, for years. Even though I worked for large corporations, my market was very exclusive, and my business did not depend on it. When I left to start my own business, because I had not been actively networking in my community I was behind. I started my business from scratch thinking that through visibility o

Talking Confidence: Why Women Need Mentors
How important is mentorship? I think it is very important for personal development. When I examine my own life and think of this topic, my mentor was my mother. I watched her grow a business, lead in community activities, and I sought advice from her on my own life. But then as I emerged into professional life, I didn’t seek mentorship. It didn’t occur to me that it was needed, but it was. It wou
Talking Confidence: If I Knew Then What I Know Now
In this podcast we talk a lot about our personal paths and trajectory. We discuss the expectations put on us by family or friends, and how we tend to follow those expectations because that is what we believe we are supposed to do.

Talking Confidence: When Life Gets In The Way Of Your Plans
How many of us have set plans in our minds of how our lives will transpire professionally and personally? These plans may be expectations put upon us by others, like parents, friends, or even ourselves. The problem is we ascribe these ideas to who we are and our identities.

Talking Confidence: Let GRIT Be Your Guide
When we are born, we are not able to select who our parents will be or who will raise us. We have no control over those first formative years of our lives. We innocently enter the lives of those who precede us and oversee making our life decisions. In other words, they make our choices. Their choices affect our direction, until we are able and old enough to do so ourselves.
My guest in this epis
Talking Confidence: How Your Life Experiences Can Translate Into Your Second Act
Life takes twists and turns. At the beginning of our work life we may start out down one path, and feel certain about where we are headed and what we are doing.

What if you find yourself midlife wanting to change you
Talking Confidence: How To Find The Confidence To Ask For What You Want
Traditionally, women have had a hard time asking for what we want. Whether it is a personal or professional situation, we seem to be less direct because of having lack of confidence. A lot of us have a fear of stating our true desires and needs. This is due to so many factors such as how we were groomed as young girls or conditioned to exist in the workplace. My guest in this episode, Jennifer Gra
Talking Confidence: What To Do When You Feel Like You Don't Belong
We all have a sense of needing to belong to something or someone. It’s a human feeling that begins early on in life. The hard reality is that it can be difficult to find where you belong.

The trick is having a personal tool set and confidence to learn how to navigate those

Talking Confidence: How To Deal With A Narcissist In Your Workplace
This topic is near and dear to my heart, because I experienced it over and over in the workplace and it played a big role in what drove me to write my book, in 2017, titled, Surviving the Dick Clique.

Talking Confidence: Facing Discrimination at Work? Here is what you need to know!
I have faced gender discrimination in the workplace. My experience occurred 10 years ago in a series of small events, they were microaggressions that added up to me feeling minimized, undervalued, and silenced.

I know from experience that I am not alone in what I’m speaking of. I have several friend

Talking Confidence: International Cultures & Confidence
Sometimes we can feel very alone in our feelings, in our confidence and in our own space. We get stuck in our human minds and think that everything is happening to just us. We go inside of ourselves, as we star in our own movies, taking for granted that there are others in different time zones, countries, and cultures that could be having a similar experience. No matter how far away they are, ther

Talking Confidence: Getting Uncomfortable To Get Ahead
One of the biggest challenges that I find my clients face is the discomfort they feel once they realize how they have to market their new business in 2022. We are in a world of self -promoting videos, posts, photos, likes and comments. It can be hard enough to find the guts to open your own business, but then the thought of having to do a video about it and then posting it on social for the whole
Talking Confidence: The Stories That Shape Us
Have you ever felt like the story of you has been created by the narrative of those around you based on their perception and even motives?

Talking Confidence: Imposter Syndrome & The Lies You Tell Yourself
Have you ever been haunted by feelings of not being good enough or smart enough, or as if you are not worthy.

Or, you are offered a promotion at work, but you feel like you don’t deserve it because you don’t think you are good enough… and i
Talking Confidence: Shame And Survival
The word shame evokes feelings of humiliation, embarrassment, and fear. Most of us can probably look back at our childhoods and remember being told the words, "Shame on you!”. What happens when shame follows you into adulthood, workplace and relationships with others? Most importantly, how do you stop it? In this episode hear my conversation with Deborah McMurray.
Her story includes shame, but it
Talking Confidence: Finding The Confidence To Age Out Loud!
Ageism is an issue in the workplace, and it can have an impact on your confidence. Worrying about “aging out," or hitting that time in life when you will be viewed as dispensable can be stressful and anxiety provoking.
