Is this what’s going on for you?
You’ve finally made it to the senior leadership ranks and now you’re on your own to figure it out (sink or swim style).
You’re expected to show up as if you don’t have anything else going on in your life like healthcare, family, children and more.
HR is viewed in your organization as a somewhat optional or less valuable executive role
It’s time to change all of this!
At Work…
You often feel frustrated, stressed, and under-appreciated because others don't understand or realize your true value.
You worry about the perceptions your peer leaders have about you and your team’s ability to deliver results and make an impact.
You are riddled with mundane tasks or unrealistic asks and lack the confidence to push back or negotiate.
Your ‘people-pleaser’ tendencies, and constant second-guessing of your decisions keep you from being at the top of your game at work and in life.
At Home…
You’re constantly trading off one thing for another and doubting your chosen career path
You feel overwhelmed, exhausted, scattered, and guilty that you are never able to give 100% to anything.
You feel like you're always behind, have no breathing room, and nothing ever seems good enough.
You are so over sacrificing your personal life for work. There’s got to be a better way.
Of course you feel this way!
You likely received zero training on how to be an executive and they don’t teach this in MBA programs.
You’ve had no suitable mentor to show you the way forward. In a perfect world, all leaders would be mentored in-house.
Your new peer group may not understand the role of HR and what it’s capable of.
Society places the primary caregiving of family and children on women – even driven, working women like you.
It’s not you…it’s the unique, seemingly impossible circumstances you are in.
If you’re like me and my clients, I bet you’ve tried to solve this in a variety of ways:
attending countless webinars on new or evolving subject matter
searching for an in-house mentor
talking with trusted former colleagues and friends
leaning on social media support groups to vent and find support
even ‘faking it till you make it’
So it’s not for lack of trying! And it’s certainly not your fault. Essentially, you’ve been thrown in the deep end professionally and personally — and it’s sink or swim time…
