As women, we’ve all faced challenges when it comes to balancing demanding careers with the needs of ourselves and our families.
These competing responsibilities can make it feel like we’re stuck to the floor, preventing us from even attempting to break the glass ceiling.
But it’s important to understand two things:
You have more power to influence your workplace than you think you do.
There are leaders and organizations out there that won’t ask you to sacrifice what matters to you in order to do impactful work.
If you’ve ever felt guilty about leaving work early even though you’ve had a productive day, or felt pressured to remain at your desk until the clock strikes 5, then it’s time to unpack your “why’s” so you can regain and reclaim control over your time.
Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment Ⓡ, Blake welcomes Erica Rooney, a relatable & impactful Keynote Speaker, Executive Coach & Consultant, host of the Podcast From Now to Next, and a Chief People Officer. With 10 years of experience in HR leading organizations in gender equality crusades, and coaching Executive Women, Erica has created a framework that empowers women to get seen, get heard, and get promoted by breaking free from the sticky floors that hold us back from busting through the glass ceiling.
In this episode, you’ll hear why so many women often feel powerless to address the issues that affect us most in the workplace. You’ll learn about the biggest mistakes we make that keep us firmly attached to sticky floors, and how to overcome them. You’ll also learn how harnessing empathy and promoting authenticity is the key to modern leadership, helping women break through the glass ceiling once and for all.
To harness your power and finally break through those sticky floors and glass ceilings, you first have to overcome the limiting beliefs that are keeping you stuck.

Favorite Quotes:
We as women are so in tune to making things nice, that we often undermine our value. We sign up to bring the cupcakes, we sign up to take the notes in the meetings, we do all of these things that as standalone acts don't seem like a big deal. But as we add them up over time, they become a really big deal. -Erica Rooney
How you do one thing is how you do everything. If you have a belief system that says I’m not good enough, I'm not as good as people think that I am, or I'm not really worthy, that will play out in every single part of your life. -Blake
As high achievers, we get so outcome-focused that we don't realize you’ve got to deal with the barriers first to get to the outcome. -Blake
Empathy is truly a female trait, and we are seeing empathetic leadership is one of the driving forces that companies want. So showing up as your authentic self, not being afraid to set those boundaries, as well as recognizing that you don't have to lead like a man, you have to leave like you, will all help you break through that glass ceiling. -Erica Rooney
