Stuck in Middle Management Hell? Here’s How to Escape FAST

Stuck in Middle Management Hell? Here’s How to Escape FAST

Ep #268: Stuck in Middle Management Hell? Here’s How to Escape FASTLet’s be honest: Middle management is kind of the worst, right? You’re constantly caught in the middle - answering to leaders who don’t always value your input while trying to motivate a team that doesn’t always listen. You have some authority but not enough to make real change (the changes you really want to make). You’re expected to own your work but don’t always get recognized for it. And the worst part? It can feel like this

The Biggest Career Risk You’re Taking (Without Even Knowing It!)

Ep #267: The Biggest Career Risk You’re Taking (Without Even Knowing It!)Are you taking the wrong kind of risk at work - or worse, avoiding risk altogether? Every week of this new year has felt a little overwhelming, exhausting, and - let’s be real - mind-numbing.  The world feels unpredictable, layoffs are happening left and right, and the temptation to keep your head down and just survive is strong. But here’s the thing: staying invisible is actually the biggest risk of all. I see it all the t

Ep #265: The Evolution of a Woman LeaderCorporate women leaders, have you ever felt like the only way to get ahead is to play by rules that were never made for you in the first place? Rules that ask you to contort yourself into someone you don’t even recognize—just to get the promotion you’ve already earned? Those old rules don’t work. Not for us. And we’re not following them anymore. The good news is: You don’t need to change who you are to succeed. You’re already powerful. You just need to lea

How Setting 'Impossible' Career Goals Leads To Breakthrough Results

Ep #263: How Setting 'Impossible' Career Goals Leads To Breakthrough ResultsDuring my last group coaching call of 2024, one of my corporate badasses shared what may seem like an absolutely impossible goal: Not just landing her dream role in 2025, but getting promoted in that same year, too. And you know what? This fired me up. Because here's the truth about "impossible" goals: They become possible the moment you realize somebody, somewhere has already achieved them. While everyone else is sittin

The Biggest Client Trends of 2024 That Led to Massive Success

Ep #260: The Biggest Client Trends of 2024 That Led to Massive SuccessWhat separates corporate women leaders who thrived in 2024 from those who stayed stuck? Let’s face it—2024 kind of sucked. Between layoffs, reorgs, stalled promotions, and bonuses that never materialized, many corporate women leaders felt like their careers were at a standstill. But… many of my clients had massive success in 2024. And not because they were immune from the chaos and BS everyone else was experiencing this year.

Ep #259:  Are You Saying ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ to the Wrong Things in Your Career?Are you accidentally stalling your career by saying ‘yes’ and ‘no’ to the wrong things? So many of the women I speak with are quick to say ‘yes’ to things that don’t actually move the needle in their careers: Yes to putting out fires, to attending unnecessary meetings, to waiting patiently for that elusive promotion. And on the flip side, those very same women are almost reflexively saying ‘no’ to the very things that cou

If you’re like many corporate badasses I coach, your calendar is jammed with deadlines, performance reviews, and Q4 goals. It’s exhausting, and the idea of focusing on anything beyond just crossing the finish line might feel impossible. But here’s the thing: Amid all that chaos lies incredible career opportunities, just waiting for you to notice them. Oppo

Ep #257: When Work is Good with Moe CarrickIs your organization evolving to meet the needs of today’s leaders? If you’re like many of the women I coach, the answer is a loud and frustrated:  No. Not even close. You see it every day—crappy outdated systems, clunky hierarchies, and the same-old same-old way of doing things that just doesn’t work anymore. You want a workplace where you can thrive as a diverse, inclusive, empathetic leader. But the challenge is: How do you actually make that happen?

Ep #256: How to Use Gratitude as a Secret Weapon for Career GrowthI’ve always seen myself as a naturally grateful person—glass half full, always looking for the bright side. But over the years, I’ve learned that gratitude can be so much more than just noticing the good things around you—you can turn it into a daily practice that can help you lead with confidence, make clearer decisions, and create real momentum in your career.

Because they can open doors and create opportunities that would take you ten times longer to reach on your own.

Ep #244: How to Turn Unwanted Labels at Work into Powerful Leadership AssetsYou’ve been told to avoid labels your whole life, right? Labels put us in boxes, keep us small, and limit our potential. And it doesn’t help that many of them are rooted in nasty ‘isms’—racism, sexism, and more—that work against us when it comes to advancing our careers. But what if the very labels you’ve been given—“too emotional,” “too direct,” “too ambitious”—are actually your secret weapons? And what if that tough fe

The difference may seem small, but focusing on the wrong path can create huge problems in your career. VIPs are the high-level leaders you may be looking up to at your organization right now. They have power and influence and they’re often respected and even revered. But here’s the problem: As you advance to higher levels of leadership...you may come to r

Ep #218: How Working Less Will Help You Get Promoted MoreYou know that person at work who has a seat at the table, gets paid well, has lots and lots of influence, and continues to get promotion after promotion…but they also seem to put in less hours, deliver less projects, and maybe even care less about the organization than you do? You may be annoyed with this person, but I actually want you to follow their lead. At the executive level, you’re not getting paid by how many hours your butt is in

Rerelease: 3 Advanced Interview Skills to Help You Land a Higher Leadership RoleHere’s a little-known truth about job interviews: The way you show up can completely transform – or totally stall – your career. I’m not talking about whether or not you land the role. I’m talking about whether or not you’re seen as an executive leader. Because the reality is: The way you show up to an interview can keep you trapped in a technical role…or set you up for the career of your dreams. A career where you’r

Months or even years go by and you still don’t have the promotion or pay you want. Does this mean your boss doesn’t care about you? Nope. It just means that 1. It’s YOUR job to make your promotion happen, and 2. Relying on your boss to do all the work to get you promoted is usually a career dead end. So in this episode of Women Changing

Ep #215: The Gender Pay Gap and Why It's Time for a New ConversationThe current discourse around the gender pay gap and how we’re going to fix it is in desperate need of an overhaul. Telling women to create boundaries, have a better work-life balance, and delegate their work is actually pretty useless unless we’re also giving women a practical, step-by-step guide for what it’s really going to take to advance themselves to higher levels of leadership.

Ep #214: Become Your Boss's Favorite on Your Terms If you want to be your boss’s successor, it can feel super demotivating when they have a favorite – and it isn’t you. On the other hand, it can also feel icky and super inauthentic to become your boss’s ‘yes’ person in the hopes of winning their favor and getting the promotion you want. But there’s a middle way. You can become your boss’s favorite on your terms, while also: building trust that you can lead at a higher level by including you

How can I coach the leaders I manage to become better leaders for their teams? What tools and strategies

In fact, 100% of the women I work with knew they were getting promoted before their performance review.

And my question to them was: Why? Why wouldn’t they want to keep going? Why wouldn’t they want to do hard things?And then I realized the reason: They think their next promotion is all about them.  But when you can let go of the belief that your next promotion is all about you and own that you can be the change you want to see

Even today, women are often stuck in lower to mid-level leadership roles while the executive suite is still mostly run by men.

But the toxic bosses I’m talking about in this episode are way more insidious and absolutely deadly when it comes to your career. They’re likely sliding under your radar because they’re not overt assholes and they probably aren’t being awful to you. They may even be masking their toxic behavior by being overly nice to you.

So if you feel like a corporate badass, yet you’re waiting for your next performance review to get promoted, you don’t have enough agency.

The Corporate Badass Way to Recognizing and Overcoming Bias at Work

Ep #171: The Corporate Badass Way to Recognizing and Overcoming Biasat WorkVery early on in my executive coaching career, I began doing trainings around unconscious bias. I taught my students how to begin to recognize and notice these biases in themselves so they could counteract their biases by choosing to do something different. And that makes total sense when you are the biased person. But what do you do when you are on the receiving end of that bias? Well, you get frustrated or shut down. Or

3 Advanced Interview Skills to Help You Land the Leadership Role of Your Dreams

Ep #169: 3 Advanced Interview Skills to Help You Land the Leadership Role of Your DreamsHere’s a little-known truth about job interviews: The way you show up can completely transform – or totally stall – your career. I’m not talking about whether or not you land the role. I’m talking about whether or not you’re seen as an executive leader. Because the reality is: The way you show up to an interview can keep you trapped in a technical role…or set you up for the career of your dreams. A career whe

The 3 Missing Pieces You’ll Need to Transition into Your Next Level of Leadership

The 3 Missing Pieces You’ll Need to Transition into Your Next Level of Leadership

Ep #168: The 3 Missing Pieces You’ll Need to Transition into Your Next Level of LeadershipOne of my favorite movie scenes of all time is in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In the scene, Indiana Jones approaches a giant chasm that looks impossible to cross. He’s scared, he doesn’t know what to do…but then he realizes: He needs to take a leap of faith. He takes that first step, not knowing if anything is going to catch him. But lo and behold: there is an invisible bridge to take him all the wa

Talk Your Way to More Confidence

Talk Your Way to More Confidence

Ep #167: Talk Your Way to More ConfidenceWomen leaders often think they need to “feel” more confident before they can advance into higher levels of leadership. But the truth is: confidence isn’t created by your feelings at all. It’s created by your actions. And you can create enormous amounts of confidence in yourself in an instant just by using your words. So in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to walk you through the words, sentences, and questions you can

Ep #166:  Reclaim Your Confidence By Trusting Yourself with Nicole KalilAs a corporate badass, I know you’re tapping into your confidence all the time. The confidence to go for the promotion. To manage up. To ask for the raise. To communicate your vision for your career. To book a 15-Minute Ally Meeting with someone you feel like you have no business reaching out to.

Companies across the world are going through massive layoffs, reorgs, restructuring, and hiring freezes. And while there may be a lot of information out there for the people who’ve lost their jobs, there isn’t always much support for those leaders who are left behind to pick up the pieces.

How Technical Leaders Can Also Get Themselves Out of the Weeds

Ep #164: How Technical Leaders Can Also Get Themselves Out of the WeedsYou hear me talk about getting out of the weeds all the time. Which usually means: STOP showing up as the subject matter expert who needs to have all the answers…and START showing up as the executive who can hold strategic conversations. But let’s be real: Depending on your role, your job may require you to hold onto a certain level of your subject matter expertise. And balancing your technical skills with your need to show u

The WHY Behind My Decision to Only Coach Women

The WHY Behind My Decision to Only Coach Women

Ep #163: The WHY Behind My Decision to Only Coach WomenOne of the most common questions I get asked all the time is: “Do you coach men as well?” Often, people ask me this because they know a man who wants to transition into senior executive leadership and they think I could help. And they’re right. I could. Actually, when I was writing Promotions Made Easy, I was still coaching men on how to get promoted to the executive suite. And it worked. Because my teachings work, regardless of your gender.

Your Job Is NOT Your Life

Your Job Is NOT Your Life

Ep #161: Your Job Is NOT Your LifeAs a corporate badass woman, you know your job is not your life. But let’s face it. We spend a lot of time at work. (Probably way more than 40 hours a week, if we’re being honest.) And because our work occupies so much of our time, so much of our mind and the energy we are putting out into the world, it’s easy for us to forget that it’s actually pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things. And this hit me hard recently. And I want to share my thoughts with

As you set your big, exciting goals for the new year, I want you to keep this in mind: In 2023, you need to stop working hard, and start leaning into hard work. Yes, there's a difference.

Not contentment as in: No longer striving for something more (which is what I used to believe contentment was). But contentment as in: Being incredibly happy with where I am and growing and achieving so much more from a place of desire instead of need.

Ep #151: Stop Using Diversity as a Selling Point and Start Being Diverse InsteadI have always been different. As a child, I stood out from other people at my school. I had bright red hair, freckles over my entire body, and I rocked a set of braces all through high school. And I was also always louder, more emotional, more dramatic, more creative, and more driven than most of the people around me. My loving and supportive family had a word for what I was: Different.

Ep #146: How to Accelerate Your Executive Presence in Just 15-Minutes a WeekHave you been told you need to work on your “executive presence”? I’ve spent most of my career avoiding this term because ‘You need to work on your executive presence’ often translates to ‘You need to act more like the rest of the people in the room’. (And spoiler alert: the rest of the people in the room are men.) But I’ve been reflecting on this word lately, and I’ve come to realize that I DO believe in executive prese

How Being ‘Irreplaceable’ is Sabotaging Your Career

Ep #120: How Being ‘Irreplaceable’ is Sabotaging Your CareerThe fact that you’re irreplaceable in your role is ruining your chances of getting promoted. Look at it this way: When you are irreplaceable, it’s easier for your organization to hire someone NEW to fill the role you want than it is to promote you and find a replacement (or, let’s be real, three replacements) to take over the work you are doing right now.
