Does the Senior Leadership Know Your Name?

Do you know those moments at work when you feel like blending into the wallpaper? You're this hidden gem, but no one has the map to find you. Yeah, I've been there, and trust me, so many of the fantastic people I talk to feel the same way.

Whenever someone like you shares their story with me, I always think, 'Wow, if only more people knew just how awesome they are.' You've got all these amazing talents and ideas, but sometimes it feels like you're standing in a huge crowd and being drowned out by all the people around you.

Today, I'm going to dive deep into this topic. It's not just about getting noticed at work but about celebrating all the cool things that make you YOU. Remember, it's not always about the big office or the fancy title. It's about making waves, leaving your mark, and creating your unique magic.

Making a mistake, even what you consider a BIG mistake, isn't necessarily a problem until you start beating yourself up over something that's already done and can't be undone.

Maybe you find yourself saying, over and over, "Why did I do that? How could I have been so stupid? I'm a complete idiot!" These feelings are powerful and probably make you want to hide in a hole and never come out. In this episode, I will help you work through these moments so you can come back stronger.

Opportunity is Knocking: Are your résumé and portfolio up to date?

Nothing stays the same and that pertains to your life. You're either growing abundance in or you are shrinking within your life – playing small. Even if you think you are in an "ok place" right now, but you don't take one step toward the positive side, your life may start to slip. It will happen slowly at first, then before you know it, you can end up on loose gravel and find yourself barreling toward the canyon floor.

Unlocking Your Potential: Transforming 'What If' into 'Why Not'

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 08:00:00 -0700

What if you fail, what if you spend too much money, what if you hit a roadblock? What if you don't make progress? What if you waste all your time trying and then fail? What if you try and no one notices? What if they think you are an impostor? Thinking like this is what I like to call, "What-If-ing" yourself to death.

All The Mamas - celebrating all the women who cleared the path for our success

Sun, 08 Mar 2020 20:07:00 -0700

Today, on International Women's day, and every day, the best thing we can do as women is to help other women. Teach them, mentor them, guide them, learn from them, and listen to them. I am only where I am today because of other amazing women. My mom, step-mom, and grandmothers, my great grandmothers, sister, and girlfriends. Women I met in the Navy and so many amazing women in my post-Navy life are role models and mentors to me now. I'm thankful for all the women who made me who I am and for all the women who paved the way to all my generation to achieve the success we have. The best way to repay them is for me, and for you, to be the best we can every day, to use our gifts, to shine our light brighter than any generation before us, and then to mentor the next generation as they did for us.

I chose a photo of a "dust bowl" era mother for today's cover. We so often think of those who came before us as "Rosie the Riveter" or the women of the Suffrage movement. They were very important. The lineage of strong women in my family flows straight through the dust bowl. My great grandmother and grandmother lived in southern Colorado, near Kansas and Oklahoma, during this era and worked harder and longer, with great concern for their lives. They struggled in ways we cannot imagine so that I can be here talking to you today. My work ethic comes from them, but I know NOTHING of the struggles they lived through. Thank you Granny and Grandma - you created a better world for us all. Love, Tami

Even if you are succeeding in every area and receiving acclaim, awards, and praise -- you'll have times when you are alone and you'll look in your mirror and focus on all your flaws, on all ways you are not as good as someone else.

We've all been there. You can flip the script on your mindset and those flaws.

How You Can Become a Multiplier

Sun, 02 Feb 2020 23:18:00 -0700

You can create genius around you and you can drive others to have a higher contribution. In every place you ever work, you will find that resources – either people or money, will always be an issue. Even if you work at the top Fortune 500 companies, they are driven to produce a profit and are beholden to shareholders. If you are in the military or the government, there is no new money. Therefore, you will grow as a leader and become a person who is able to produce real, tangible results when you learn to use all the talent and intelligence of your entire team and others around you. On the other hand, you will drive others away and hamper the best ideas from bubbling up if you are a Diminisher. This will impact your results, dampen the business and demotivate all those around you. I know who you want to be. This episode will get you on the right track.
