In this episode, Why You Felt Nothing After Your Last Promotion? Recently I was speaking to a new VP at a Fortune 100 company. When I met her, she had been Sr Director for about a year.   We made the VP role happen in 6 months.   Once the deal was done, I asked her how she felt.   She admitted, "I don't know, Stella. I mean…I guess I'm happy. But I thought I would feel more. I don't really… I feel...

Let's try this a different way   I know you worked tremendously hard to get to where you are now in your career.   You may have - Worked 13 hour days - Pulled countless all nighters to complete projects and presentations. - Sacrificed taking full vacations - Rearranged family plans to accommodate work expectations - Hopped on several planes with little notice to solve problems   You may then think...

In this episode, we discuss Do You Have A Career Timer?   I have always been an early riser... most mornings I am up at 5AM.   When I first started cultivating this, I would set an alarm - a blaring, hard to ignore signal that would jolt me out of my dream state.   Oh and there was no snooze button.   Do you have an alarm set for your career?   Any blaring, hard to ignore signals that jolt you awa...

Do you know anyone who makes $500K in her Corporate Career? I don't mean, literally. I mean do you know anyone intimately. In your inner circle. Someone you can actually observe closely.

Without ending up ill, Without sacrifici...
