This thread is for the episode, "What learning to play tennis has taught me about growth & comfort zones” 🎧 You can find this episode over here or by searching for this episode title on the elevateHER podcast, on your favorite podcast app! 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? Any insights, reflections or takeaways you'd like to share in the comments? Do you have any questions about this topic or episode?

This episode is all about busting the MISCONCEPTION that nice girls don't get the corner office (don't worry, I've read the book and there are some good points in there).

In this episode, you will learn: - why your kindness makes you a perfect match for leadership - how to be nice and be an exceptional leader - the kind of leadership that people are craving right now So what's your view? Does kindness or being perceived to be soft affect one's ability to lead with impact?

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.
