Women's Leadership, Women's Career Development, Business Executive Coaching & Podcast By Sabrina Braham Ma Ppc

Successful Businesswomen or Imposters? Whether you were given a promotion or are in a new job or have returned to the work force after a few years at home waiting for the kids to go to school, you’ve probably felt as if it’s all a bit overwhelming. You may think you’re not really as accomplished as your colleagues believe. You pat yourself on the back for fooling everyone into thinking you really know what you’re doing. Others may view you as an articulate, experienced and highly successful businesswoman, but you look in the mirror and see an actress playing a part. It’s called the Imposter Syndrome and a majority of women, at every level, are victims. Perhaps it’s because we were raised to turn away from praise. It wasn’t “ladylike” to acknowledge our accomplishments. Maybe our mother or grandmother told us boys wouldn’t like us if we were too smart. It could be that someone laughed when we tried something difficult and failed. Or even worse, ridiculed us when we succeeded. Whatever the cause, our secret

 How Can Fairy Tales help Women Master Management Skills? No matter how adult we are, in the heart of every woman is the memory of a childhood heroine. We all pretended, at one time or another, that we were Cinderella going to the ball or Rapunzel letting down her hair or Belle being Beauty who saves the Beast. We cut our teeth on fairy tales and on some level have always wished they were real. Today's guest will show you how those beloved fairy tales hold the seeds that help us grow outstanding management skills. Cary Broussard, author of From Cinderella to CEO: How to Master the 10 Lessons from Fairy Tales to Transform Your Work Life, will unlock the management skills secrets hidden in the stories of Hans Christian Anderson and the brothers Grimm. These stories were originally conceived for adults to pass down moral values before the days of how-to-books and business speakers. They also served to entertain before the advent of television and movies. Perhaps as a result of their original purpose, each much

Communication Skills: How Women Can Develop & Improve Their Verbal and Written Communication Skills to Engage & Influence Others Terry Pearce "Communication skills" has become a hackneyed phrase we hear over and over again, but what does it really mean? It's far more than being able to speak up at a meeting or give a client presentation that brings in the account. Communication refers to everything we say and write and do when interacting with someone else in any medium. It refers to how we share our ideas and our values, our ambitions and our disappointments—even how we have learned from our mistakes. People respond to everything they see in us. They listen to our stories, not unlike the way ancient tribes listened to the elders before thoughts and experiences were written down. It's vital that we know how to open ourselves to others, what to say and when to say it. When we control the communication, we steer people in the direction we want them to take. During the next 30 minutes, you'll hear an expert

Follow Your Entrepreneurial Dream With Advice From Kim Malek Have you ever sat through a dull corporate meeting and dreamed of opening your own business? Have you fantasized about being the person in charge so things run the way they should? Studies show that 60 percent of working women leaders want to be their own boss. Today we're going to talk to a women leader who finally stopped dreaming and did something about it. How One Woman's Dream Began Kim Malek was working with Starbucks back in 1996 when it was a small Seattle coffee company with only 30 stores. She was there as it started to grow into today's international behemoth and she learned a lot about how to grow a business. As exciting as it was to be part of this legendary company, she wanted to move back to Portland, Oregon and open an ice cream shop with a difference.

Yesterday's Women Leaders There was a time when a woman's place was to keep a man happy and be quiet about it. Mother's taught their daughters to be seen and not heard. They warned about men's negative opinion of women who voiced opinions or made themselves conspicuous. There was also a time when we were sheltered, docile creatures who let men rule the world. That was yesterday. Today’s Women Leaders Today, some of the most articulate spokespeople for our society are women with ideas, purpose and persuasive ability. Before John Kerry, three of the previous four U.S. Secretaries of State were women. We are in politics, the professions, in science and the arts. The media is teeming with bright, interesting women who have something to say. The women who have risen to the top ranks in corporate America didn't achieve their positions by sitting back and letting others take the lead. In 2013, women leaders have found our voices. Now it's time for all of us to learn how to use those voices effectively. Communicatio

If you're a woman who has held a job you've undoubtedly run into the issue of negotiating your salary and equal pay for equal work... You also know that it's a concept that rarely exists in today's business world. Across the board, women still earn considerably less than their male counterparts. Say you have achieved salary equality; it probably took you longer to prove your worth than it did the men on your level. The old argument that men were supporting families and needed more money has long since become irrelevant. Many women in the 21st Century are heads of households, even those in which they are the only resident. So what can you do to overcome the latent prejudices of male & even female management and put yourself on the equal footing your skills merit? Join women’s leadership coach Sabrina Braham M.A, PCC and negotiating your salary for women expert Barbara Belknap and get solid “how to” advice with free downloadable audio (below), video on negotiating and “negotiating tips” sheet.

Join executive coach Sabrina as she interviews three delegates from the Vision 2020 Congress in Portland Oregon. Initiative To Advance Women’s Leadership, Economic & Social Equality Vision 2020 is a national initiative to advance women’s economic and social equality, gathered delegates and leaders. Women leaders from across the nation met this month in Portland, OR for its 3rd National Congress.  Its goal is to move America toward equality by 2020, the centennial celebration of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote. The delegates reviewed state projects that promote Vision 2020’s goals to achieve pay equity, to increase the number of women in senior leadership positions, and to promote family-friendly workplace policies, voter mobilization and civic engagement. Also, they developed strategies to sustain awareness of these goals and achieve success by the year 2020, which mark the centennial celebration of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote.

Whether a woman is a firefighter, an airline captain, an international corporate CEO or at the helm of a successful entrepreneurial enterprise, there's often a sense of disbelief that a female is handling a man's job. So imagine the reaction to a woman running a wilderness expedition company!

Dianna Booher; Creating Personal Presence Watch a seasoned politician speak to her constituents or a corporate executive handle a press briefing on a sensitive subject. They speak with confidence, they project an aura of dependability and they leave their listeners convinced by their message. We live in a world where we are judged not just by what we say, but by how we say it — how we present ourselves — and how we take control of even the most uncomfortable situations. Communication skills are paramount and every acknowledged leader has mastered them. At one time it was enough to be quietly competent. Women, especially, were encouraged to stand back and avoid controversy. We were taught to be seen and not heard. However, we live in a new reality. Have you ever known the press to criticize a male Secretary of State for how he's dressed, how he wears his hair or whether he's had plastic surgery? In order to be successful today, women are expected to well-dressed and well-groomed. We must speak up at meetings

// Maybe you've been asked to review a financial statement and had no idea what to look for. Or the CEO has asked you to be one of the key players helping the company reach its financial objectives. In a follow-up brainstorming session, you're asked for ideas about what might be done, but you're not sure how your job relates to the bottom line. Or perhaps your boss wants you to come up with suggestions on percentage increases for the next year and you have to ask your high school senior how to figure them. There was a time when schools didn't worry much about women and numbers, let alone finance concepts. Those days should be long gone, but many brilliant women still feel uncomfortable around basic financial concepts. Even if you don't work in the finance department, this program will be invaluable to you. It's no longer acceptable to say you just "don't get" numbers. Today it's vital to your career to have a basic understanding of the financials that drive your business' success. Kevin Cope is a trusted re

In previous shows, we've talked about the power of influencing others—at your level and above—to advance your career. When you can effectively influence those around you, you get your projects done, gain help from co-workers, expand your network, tune-in to corporate politics and increase your visibility.
