October 2023

Happy October Reader!

What is on your mind? Inspiring you? Worrying you?

Fall reminds many of us of going back to school. It's a natural time to consider what's next to learn about in our lives, especially career.

How can I help?

NEWS!
As many of you may know, my primary coaching package is 10 sessions for "Should I Stay or Should I Go." My clients in the midst of it now are getting a lot of value.

I have also heard many of say you want shorter packages to help separate the decision-making part from the "what's next" element.

Check them out here!

You can take these packages sequentially or independently.
Each is designed to meet you where you are now.

Curious about one or both? Or know you need help but not sure if either of these packages meet your needs? Contact me for more information - or possibly even for a custom package.

Want to start small? Get fresh insights about your career (and life) needs in an hour via the North Star Values Assessment.

Last but not least:

I mentioned in August that I was a guest on the Mac's List podcast, Find Your Dream Job. It was an incredible experience! Hopefully one of many more. My episode on deciding to stay or leave distressing work is coming out October 18. I hope you all listen and share it with others!

Dare to be Powerful

This quote about daring, power and fear knocked me in the face like an ocean wave. I came across it while reading a preview copy of my friend Michelle Minnikin's book, Good Girl Deprogramming, in a chapter on dealing with threats.

I was walloped because I am finally experiencing it.

Thankful vs. Appreciation

Please don’t (virtually) punch me but I don’t believe in being thankful.

I very much appreciate things in my life. I’m thrilled beyond belief at much of my good fortune. But for me, the word "thankful" sounds like another way of keeping women in their place.

The Window Treatment

So many women are petrified at work. Men likely are too but as a #careerchangecoach for women I hear more from them.

After 40, most of us have been through some significant corporate crap.

It leaves a mark.

Want to Believe in Yourself? ‘Mattering’ Is Key

All of my coaching clients (and most people I know!) are longing for this from their lives and work. Read on for more...

"To matter, people must feel valued — heard, appreciated and cared for — and they must feel like they add value in ways that make them feel capable, important and trusted, said Isaac Prilleltensky, a professor at the University of Miami and a co-author of “How People Matter.” It’s a two-part definition: feeling valued and adding value."

Here's to a new season of renewal, comfort, growth and mattering!

Hang in there,
Becky

PS: Remember that anyone who sends me a new client who purchases a package gets a free 50 minute coaching session!

Hello Reader! Where ARE your pants? We are mere days away from September when pants are required for much of the adulting, including speaking up, that happens post Labor Day. Go look now. I'll wait.As I write this, I'm on my third night watching the Democratic National Convention. I didn't plan to watch any but I tuned in the first night when Michelle Obama spoke, and the goosebumps haven't stopped since. The timing is impeccable. While the coaching work I do is ostensibly to help...

What is your theme song, Reader? You know, the one you listen to when you are FEELING yourself? The one that reminds you of your greatness (and also amazing lip-syncing skills)? The song with the lyrics that inspire you to live the life for who you are now - not the person you put on like a shiny shirt at 23 and which now hangs in tatters (and is waaayyy too small!) We should all have at least one of these songs close at all times. It is too easy to fall prey to limiting beliefs about...
