I break down how building confidence in sharing your achievements can change how you show up as a leader, and I offer practical ways to start owning your wins—whether that’s posting about a promotion or speaking up about an accomplishment at work. This episode is about normalizing visibility, sharing what you’ve earned, and using those moments to elevate your career in a way that feels real and sustainable. Layoffs and economy be d*mned Inside the Women’s Leadership Accelerator, I’m helping women land executive leadership roles, bonuses and salary raises in as little as 6 weeks Join us:AuthenticallyPowerfulWomen.com
