Negotiating your salary can feel scary and uncomfortable, but here’s a move that works every time that most people aren’t doing. When you receive a verbal offer, your instinct is to say something, thank them, express excitement, and maybe even accept on the spot. Don't do that! Pause, take a breath, and say: “Thank you for the offer and I’m looking forward to joining the team. I'd like to take 48 hours to review the full package in writing and get back to you with any questions." You've now bought yourself time to think clearly, do your research, and prepare your counteroffer. Most companies EXPECT this and many offers have built-in room for negotiation. But you can't negotiate effectively when you're caught off guard and say yes immediately. Pause before you respond and plan your negotiation from a place of confidence, not reaction.

Stop performing, start aligning. Most of us spend our careers PERFORMING: → The version of ourselves we think will get promoted → The version that will make everyone like us → The version that fits in And it's exhausting because performance isn't sustainable. The shift is ALIGNMENT. That means building a career around who you actually are. Your values, goals, and happiness. When you align, the work feels different. You stop dreading going to work and feeling exhausted all the time. Performing is borrowed energy, but alignment is your own. 📚 Link in bio to grab a copy of my book, Authentic Success.

You probably grew up hearing that you should work hard, stay humble, and you’ll be rewarded for it. NOT TRUE. You can be the hardest worker in the room, or even the smartest or most talented, and still get passed over for a promotion. Being a hard worker isn’t enough. You have to use your voice and speak up for yourself. What do you want to accomplish? You need to share that with decision makers and people who can help you. It’s not bragging and it’s not being “too much” either. It’s self-advocacy. You aren’t going to be handed a new job, a referral, or a promotion on a silver platter. You have to ask for it.

If you’ve been looking for a new book to pair with your morning coffee and reflection time, Authentic Success is it! It’s not just fluffy motivation- it has practical tools and exercises that women can use to make real changes in their lives & careers to be more successful- in a way that feels genuine and authentic. This book is a coaching program in book form. It includes the same frameworks that I use with my coaching clients and have helped over 500 women transform their careers. ➡️ Link in my bio to grab your copy!

If you’re job searching, be on the lookout for these sneaky time wasters that make it FEEL like you’re being productive in your job search, but aren’t really getting you anywhere. Time waster 1: Mass applying to jobs online. Applying for dozens of jobs through the LinkedIn easy apply just doesn’t work anymore. You need to focus on quality applications over quantity. Time waster 2: Sending generic LinkedIn messages that won’t get responded to. Everyone is using LinkedIn and sending connection requests like crazy. Your messages need to be thoughtful and intentional, not generic. And please don’t let AI write the message for you. Time waster 3: Spending hours and hours tweaking your resume for every job you apply for. Yes, it’s okay to spend 20 minutes cross-checking your resume with the job description and making some refinements, but really your resume should be strong enough as is for the roles you’re applying for. These are things that feel productive, but just waste your time. Be more strategic and focused in your job search and you’ll get better results.

Everyone is using ChatGPT to help with their resume, but too many people make the mistake of asking AI to write their resume for them or to “make it better.” Don’t do that! Hiring managers are tired of seeing the same AI-generated slop resumes that completely dilute your personality and make you totally forgettable. Use this prompt instead: “Act as a recruiter in the BLANK industry who reviews 100+ resumes daily. Here is my resume and here is the job description. Will my resume pass ATS screening? What keywords do I need to add? What would make you automatically reject this resume vs. move it to the interview pile? Be brutally honest with me about what’s working and what’s not.” Then, use the feedback to make adjustments to your resume yourself. This prompt yields way better results that asking ChatGPT to write your resume for you. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

The most underrated career skill in 2026 is the ability to ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF clearly, confidently, and without apologizing. We were taught the opposite, that we should be modest, humble, and not to brag. But the problem is that it won’t ever be magically noticed. It’s not because your work isn't good. Because your boss is busy, no one is tracking your impact, and people making decisions about your future have a hundred other things on their mind. It’s not bragging! Self-advocacy is PR for yourself. You need to make sure the right people know what you’re doing, why it matters, and what you’re aiming for next. Practice saying out loud: "Here's the impact I had this quarter. Here's what I want to do next. Here's the support I need to get there." The women who advance fastest aren't the most talented or the smartest. They're the ones who advocate for themselves clearly and consistently. If your career feels stuck, look at this skill. It's likely the gap. The good news is that it’s fixable!

Success isn’t supposed to feel like survival. So many women have been in survival mode for so long that they don't even know what it would feel like to thrive, enjoy their work, and NOT be exhausted. Society has normalized burnout. Somewhere along the way we’ve been conditioned to think that burnout is the price to pay to be successful. It's not. That's a story we've been told. You can build a life where work supports you instead of consuming you. Sunday nights don’t need to be full of dread. You can be proud of what you do AND who you are. Survival isn't success.
