Personal Success Women

With The Glass Ledge, Oubou offers a disruptive guide that explores the 10 most common themes around which women tend to derail themselves, including issues around power, likability, authenticity, conflict, and more.

It's time to stop putting yourself at the bottom of every to-do list and start taking care of yourself first. It's time to leave Superwoman in the movies, where she belongs, and say hello to being a super woman - the best, most productive version of the hero you already are.

Lisa Carmen Wang was raised to be a good girl, praised for her obedience, politeness, modesty—traits that became the bedrock of her personality. But as she grew up, the never-ending pursuit of being the perfect good girl left her feeling hollow, despite her achievements as a champion gymnast, straight-A student, and Ivy League graduate. Her fears of failure and rejection and her worries about other peoples’ opinions held her back from embracing her most authentic and powerful self at work and in life. But all that changed when Lisa realized she was capable of so much more.

In Defining Wealth for Women, Bonnie Koo, MD, shows you why everything you’ve ever learned about money is probably wrong.

If you haven't heard of the Oola phenomenon yet, it's time to catch up. First, though, you need to understand what it is: Oola is that state of awesomeness you experience when your life is balanced and growing in all the key areas of health and well-being. It can be a noun or a verb. It can be a destination or a feeling. It can be as complex as a life growing and balanced in fitness, finance, family, field, faith, friends, and fun (the seven F's of Oola), or as simple as a sunset.

Marketing, at its core, is simply about storytelling. It's the ability to take consumers on an emotional journey that can relate to their needs and wants while, at the same time, establishing trust in the products and services that are being provided. Trust is an emotional response, and storytelling is the most essential element in establishing it. The JD methodology is about the ability to control the conversation with aligning brand and storytelling, which, in turn, establishes an emotional connection to all senses, whether the audience realizes it or not.

In a world of “Me Too”, women are struggling with the notion of softness and empathy, while living up to the strong-suiter persona, in order to win at work. In her book, Mindie Barnett explores her own experiences working for the “devil” in that famous book of Prada, and how she constructed her company on the complete opposite premise. Instead, she embraces her femininity, and steers her team with a sense of warmth and compassion, without losing her competitive edge. Learn how to create camaraderie with competition, inspire your team to soar, and rock a haute shade of lipstick.

Women are constantly being told that it's simply too difficult to balance work and family, so if they don't really "have to" work, it's better for their families if they stay home. Not only is this untrue, Leslie Bennetts says, but the arguments in favor of stay-at-home motherhood fail to consider the surprising benefits of work and the unexpected toll of giving it up. It's time, she says, to get the message across: combining work and family really is the best choice for most women.

It is not lazy, irresponsible, nor unprofessional to consider, and possibly give up, your position on the treadmill of achievement. On the contrary, cultivating self-awareness and making needed changes to your work-life balance is the most responsible thing you can do-for yourself, for your family, and for your patients and clients.

What does success look like? Five a.m. conference calls and late nights in the office? Winning every argument in the office and always getting your own way? What does a successful woman look like? The shoulder-pad wearing alpha? The dogmatist who rules with an iron fist? The reality is far more nuanced. Yet women are still reduced to alpha boss or the beta secretary or assistant, but when 47 percent of the workforce are reduced to two unhelpful stereotypes, how can you embrace your inner beta and be a success on your own terms?

As women, we are allowed to ask for more. We are allowed to ask for different. We are allowed to ask for better. And yet many women struggle to make requests that would help them, whether in their personal or professional lives, for fear that they’ll seem greedy, selfish or undeserving. In The Gift of Asking, executive and personal coach Kemi Nekvapil breaks down our cultural myths around asking.

In the society we live in, black women are constantly judged because of beliefs, stereotypes, and prejudices that have been passed down for so long. So it is important to change your awareness of yourself and life through positive repetition to change your self-image and your reality. Through repetition, you can reprogram your subconscious mind by eliminating all destructive thoughts and installing new empowering beliefs that are aligned with the kind of life you want.

Unleash your superpowers by awakening the divine feminine within - stop holding yourself back and grow into the woman history and science is now celebrating! For centuries, the ways of the woman have been largely misunderstood. And, they still are, to a large degree. The systems put in place have always worked against us - time made marginalization “acceptable”, religion justified it, and justice looked the other way in order to avoid disrupting the status quo.

Even in this time of rethinking women’s roles, we define genius almost exclusively through male achievement. When asked to name a genius, people mention Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, and Steve Jobs. As for great women? In one survey, the only female genius anyone listed was Marie Curie. Janice Kaplan, the New York Times best-selling author of The Gratitude Diaries, set out to determine why the extraordinary work of so many women has been brushed aside.

Throughout her multifaceted career, Tina Wells has always found a way to transform her dreams into reality. She turned a business that she launched at sixteen into an award-winning marketing agency, led boardroom meetings as the youngest (and sometimes only) Black woman in the room, and pursued her childhood dream of traveling around the world. But all that success came with burnout, and Tina had to rethink how she thought about work and life. The result of her deep thinking and some trial and error, The Elevation Approach presents Tina’s four-phase plan.
