This has been a STRETCH year in so many ways. But learning a new skill has given me so many different perspectives that are not always obvious when you are focusing on overdelivering and exceeding your KPIs at work. I made a decision to learn how to play tennis earlier in the year instead of just watch it from the couch and criticize my favourite players when they weren’t winning. Safe to say this is one of the hardest things I’ve learnt in a while and I’ve taken so many of these learnings into my corporate career. BUT I didn’t do it alone - I decided to hire a coach to transcend what could’ve been years of learning into months. And I’m now ready to play my first match in 2024! Tune in to find out how you can learn from the ups and downs of learning a highly technical skill, and elevate your career in 2024 ➡️ I'd love to know - what did you think?

In 2020, I was told that I didn’t have the Business Acumen to become a Leader at work. 2 Years later... I became a Director in the world’s largest global audit firm 🤯 This year, more than 23 women have paid me thousands of dollars to help them get senior leadership promotions 🖤 You see… the belief I had about my leadership was not dependent on what others thought of me… or whether they thought I was ready 🔥 My leadership was inevitable… And I moved from the vision of WHO I know I was… Not what others said I could be 🌶 There were plenty of times when it made sense to quit…and to try something else. But the IDENTITY I decided to embody was incompatible with anything other than my leadership promotion… And I have packaged this in the Promotion Power Pack, if you're serious about advancing and securing a leadership promotion in 2024!

Just goes to show what's possible if you have the ENERGY + MINDSET + STRATEGY to get promoted into the leadership you desire.

If you met me 4 years ago, it wouldn’t take you more than a few minutes to realise that - I wasn’t 100% confident in what I said - I wasn’t the kind of woman to ‘rock the boat’ and share my opinion even if it was completely different to everyone else’s thinking - I wasn’t the kind of person who would challenge or question anything - I was definitely not the kind of person to ASK for a promotion - I was in waiting mode most of the time When I ▪️ stepped into my personal power ▪️ made intentional investment into my personal growth ▪️ took a bet on myself ▪️ followed through with MASSIVE action, MY WHOLE WORLD CHANGED! From executives who never knew my first name, calling for my opinion…😳 To my team tripling in size & impact 💥 To becoming a top ranked director in my organization 🚀 And even as recently, being recognised as leader of the year in my entire service line🏆 None of this is an accident, it’s all planned and if I can, you absolutely can too!

Too many women are stuck in a mid-level manager ‘crisis’ NOT because they can’t deliver at work… 👇🏽 But because they can’t see what leadership at the next level looks like. And if you’re a black woman, maybe there isn’t anyone who looks like you in leadership in your org…which makes it even more inaccessible to see impactful black women leaders in action. It’s hard to know who you need to be if you’ve never been in close proximity with the kind of person who is already where you want to be. I know this because my mid-level crisis ended when I MOVED & found my community of BOSS Women 🔥 I MOVED into a new level of leadership when I decided I’ll never try to do leadership on my own. And that’s why for 3 years in a row I have never failed to put myself in a community of high-vibe high-powered women who are miles ahead of me ✅ Because it’s made me uncomfortable But it’s also activated my in ways I never thought were possible In today’s podcast episode, I talk about the power of community to accelerate your career growth. Find it here on iTunes or here on Spotify. What do you like most about being in a community of corporate women like the BOSS Movement? Comment below 👇🏽

A few years ago I missed out on a promotion that was given to a less experienced outsider instead 😳 I did everything to get that promotion.... Worked hard, sacrificed time away from my family... Exceeded my KPIs... Gave massive value & always went over and above to make my boss look good I even made an impromptu appearance in a board meeting to represent her... When I look back I realize I was so naive 🫣, thinking that the promotion was automatically mine when my boss eventually resigned and they replaced her with someone else instead... I left that workplace thinking I wasn't valued. I learnt later on that I actually wasn't ready. 📣 I wasn't thinking, acting, talking, leading like the woman I needed to be to step into MANCO. When I shifted focus to my IDENTITY, everything changed 🙌🏽When I let go of the stories and beliefs that didn't serve me or where I was going, I stepped into a new level and version of me that was a match for the leadership I desired 🔥 And if I can, you sure can too 👏🏽How have you dealt with career disappointments in the past?👇🏽 P.S Ready to step into a new level of leadership and get paid, promoted and recognized as the BOSS you deserve to be?
