The Introverted Executive (Tami North)

I want to start with a strong statement today: As long as you hide your gifts, as long as you play small, as long as you waste time judging others who DO share their gifts, and as long as you stay in your safe, comfortable space – you are choosing to be mediocre.  There is no other way to look at this. This episode covers 6 surprising ways you allow yourself to be forgettable at home and work, every day.

Do you ever feel like you are working hard but are overlooked for promotions or recognition? If so, you're not alone.

Many introverted leaders feel this way. Just like you, the one who holds the team together, always ensures deadlines are met, yet you don't always get the credit you deserve. In this episode today, we’ll talk about how you can shine when you feel overlooked and undervalued.

One of my secrets to powerful goal accomplishment and building the career and life you have always dreamed of is to not only set big goals but then to check in periodically on the progress you're making. This includes a fresh intentional decision that you want to continue to pursue the goals you have been working toward. It's what you do in the 13^th week that makes all the difference.  It's that 13th week when you make your luck, so to speak.  In this episode, I will walk you through, step-by-step, what I do during that 13^th week and how it will dramatically change your outcomes if you do the same.

What if you fail, what if you spend too much money, what if you hit a roadblock?  What if you don’t make progress?  What if you waste all your time trying and then fail?  What if you try and no one notices? What if they think you are an impostor?  Thinking like this is what I like to call, “What-If-ing” yourself to death.

Today, I want you to try, “What-If-Ing” yourself to life!

Your life didn’t stop just because a worldwide pandemic hit and the political situation in the United States became a tinderbox in so many ways this past year. You have kids to nurture through this, parents you can’t see, and love that's strained because you are both stressed and showing that stress in different ways. There is nothing like uncertainty to exponentially increase anxiety and stress levels. It's time to take a breath, center yourself, and take time to just love and care for you.

Think about your typical day at work. Do you ever have difficulty asking for help? How often do you feel like you're doing all the work no one else wants to do, behind the scenes, because you know it must get done? Even if you have a team of people to delegate to – you think it’s easier just to do it yourself than to deal with the imagined discomfort of tasking someone else or asking for assistance. If this sounds like your day, this episode is for you.

Be The Engineer of Your Life.

From now on, I want you to think of yourself as the engineer of your life. You are absolutely are in control of more things than you realize and you can design a life that flows. A life that seems to easily produce the outcomes you’ve been dreaming about. One of the keys to creating a more stress-free life that will allow you to create what you want is to reduce unwanted friction wherever you find it. I want you to think of Friction in scientific terms first. Essentially, whenever one material moves against another, some energy will be lost to friction.

Think about when you brush your dog, or go down a slide at a playground, or ground your coffee beans in a grinder. As two materials move against each other, energy is lost. That energy becomes heat which will cause deformation, and wear – which will reduce the life of the material’s that are in contact with each other. There are things you can do to reduce friction in these instances, use detangling conditioner for your dog so the brush glides through, add water flowing down the slide so you slip down easily, or sharpen the blades on the grinder so they process beans easier.  The exact same thing will happen to you when you find the areas that are causing pain and friction in your daily life and routines and then take the steps to reduce that friction, little by little, until you discover that you have built a life that makes success easy and overall life become immensely enjoyable.

This is going to be one of those episodes that will make you want to jump into action.  If you are like me, I know you are ready to fix those pesky areas in your life that are causing unnecessary friction.  I am going to give you some steps you can take to reduce the friction and smooth out the path to a life and career you love! 

The struggle is real…  trust me, I’ve been there! You push and push and you work your butt off, but some days, even some weeks and months, you seem to get absolutely nowhere.  Sometimes you feel like you are even beginning to slip backwards. I know, there are a few things that you really can’t control. There are times when people in your own family, including in your own home, derail your plans in unexpected ways – and yes, so often unintentional.  

I know you have a work ethic that is unstoppable and you do find ways to power through most of the asteroids that life hurls your way. Your life does not have to be a constant barrage of unexpected events and struggles you must overcome.  If you are ready to take your game to a new level, it is time to think about ways you can smooth out your processes (for you and your family) so that you can avoid all the obstacles coming at you like you are Keanu Reeves in The Matrix, you know the scene… 

Let’s start with the idea of process improvement first.  Many of you probably hear about this concept, including Lean Six Sigma, at work from time to time.  Depending on your company, some organizations take this concept to a nearly religious level.  Why?  It is all about reducing friction and waste, and when a company does that – they produce their product faster, with higher predictable quality, while reducing stress on current employees.  I am sure many of you apply these principles every day at work, you may have even received extensive training in process improvement.  Still, many people do not apply these ideas with their family or home.  They just don’t think about it.  Maybe you think you just want to relax when you get home but what if, starting this weekend, you decided to “improve a process” in your own home or life?

Let’s start with some of the obvious things you think about when you think about processes in your home. (And, if you have never even thought of a process in your home like this…  then this episode is REALLY going to change your life, ha ha…) Let me give you an example of a “process”. Everyone in my house has a morning routine. I will talk about that more in a few minutes, but this includes the kids – and yes – they had a morning routing even when they were very small. It was good for me, because it helped them get ready to head out of the door, and it was good for them because kids feel safe and secure when they have a routine they are following, it makes them feel like they know what is going on. So… now my two sons are 10 and 14. Every now and then, one of them will say, “I can’t find my favorite socks, I can’t find my running shirt.”  They might even say, “Did you wash clothes, mom?” I always have one question and they can hear it coming a mile away….  Did you put your clothes in the laundry basket?  Their response is always the same…  blank look, eye roll, turn around to go look in their room… NOPE!  Too bad…  I tell them, “I did laundry last night, I washed all the clothes in the laundry basket.” If the shirt and socks they wanted were not in the basket, it did not get washed.  It all goes back to their morning routine, it is simple:

• Take dirty clothes to laundry
• Clean up yard (we have dogs)
• Eat Breakfast
• Feed Dogs
• Brush teeth and get ready for school

This is just one example of a “process” we have in our house. You have a laundry process too.  Even if it is not as defined as mine. There comes a point when you want clean laundry and you do things to make sure you have clean clothes the next day. Some people take their clothes to a laundry service, some have a housekeeper, some do a little laundry every day, some wait for weeks until they literally have nothing to wear and then take eight loads of laundry to the laundromat and spend an entire Saturday washing clothes so they can start it all over.  No matter what your way is, it is a process.  Obviously, some people’s processes have more room for improvement than others.  It is all about what you are willing to live with. Either way, this is an example of how you can find space in your life and day. 

I am going to talk about five different overarching ways to reduce friction in your life. Every one of you wants something different and has a different expectation of your life, so you will have to get creative as you listen to this episode. I want you to think about the ways you could start to reduce friction in your own life as I share my thought and experiences in this episode. 

1. The first overarching way to reduce friction in your life is to develop routines for various parts of your life. Here are a few ideas of routines I have implemented:

• Morning (from wake up to start work). The kids have their own version.
  • Start work
  • End work
  • Arriving at home after work until dinner
  • Night routine (preparing for next day and bed)
  • Others:  Laundry, paying bills, cleaning house, yard work, this podcast

2. Automating some areas of my life has become essential as I have become more senior in my career, which has driven the need to optimize my time. 

• Bill paying, groceries, lawn service
• Get creative with things you can automate

3. Eliminate things not aligned with your vision for your life.

• excessive TV
• toxic people or people on a different path
• projects or paths you are pursuing because someone else thinks you “should” (parents, friends, colleagues)

4. Simplify

• Declutter – desk, countertops, garage, drawers.  Find a place for everything. This will make cleaning easier. In order to do this, you will may have to purge things you do not need or never actually use.  Go ahead and do this – your future self will thank you.
• Reorganize to enhance daily flow.  (ex. Kitchen, coffee area, bathroom, laundry area, garage)
• Say no
• Decide what your 3 most important priorities are and stop doing anything not related to those. (ex. family, career, travel or family, church, career or career, exercise, hobby)
• Design a very simple weekly dinner menu, one the kids can help with. 
• Work on only one or two goals at a time.

5. Making your desired actions EASY – some good books that will help with this are tiny habits by BJ Fogg and Atomic Habits by James Clear.

If you want to STOP any behaviors or “bad” habits, try this:

1. Think about what your trigger or prompt is that sets your “bad” habit into motion.  

2. Remove that trigger or prompt from your life. (Example, do not buy food you don’t want to eat, remove that food from the house.)

If you want to START new behaviors of “good” habits try this:

1. Decide something “good” you want more of in your life.  (Example: exercise or healthy eating). 

2. Break it down to the very initial action required to do the habit.  (Example: putting on running shoes, buying good food at the grocery store, or maybe beginning to chop vegetables for the meal prep session on a Sunday afternoon.)

3. Make a goal to chop up one cucumber.  That’s it. (I recommend putting this on the calendar.)  When you get your reminder – chop that one cucumber. Worst case, you have one healthy snack for tomorrow – a bag of slices that will replace a bag of chips.  Best case, and most likely – once you start you will complete your whole meal prepping plan for 4-5 days.  It all started by making a very easy, doable plan.

I just touched on the basics in this episode, but you get the picture.  There are so many things you can do to take charge of your own life, create days that are easier on the whole family and set you all up for success. It will be a change at first, but the more you do this and start to look at the things that make life operate smoothly like a well-oiled machine, the more time you will have and the greater chance that you will start to not only feel successful, but you may even find that success will start to just come your way.  It’s amazing what happens when you focus on what you want and set up the life around you that practically makes it inevitable. 

Your life doesn't have to be a constant barrage of unexpected struggles to overcome. Ready to take your game to a new level? Here are 5 ways to smooth life processes so you can avoid obstacles coming at you like you're Keanu Reeves in The Matrix, you know the scene…

This can seem very scary and uncertain. In many cases, you might even pass up on something you really want and believe in due to the anxiety and fear that such a change will bring.

That is what we'll dig into in this episode.

Making a mistake, even what you consider a BIG mistake, isn’t necessarily a problem until you start beating yourself up over something that’s already done and can’t be undone. Your mind is tricky, and sometimes it can get stuck in a loop, especially if you feel shame, humiliation, deep regret, sadness, embarrassment, mortification, or possibly discredited. Maybe you find yourself saying, over and over, “Why did I do that? How could I have been so stupid? I’m a complete idiot!” These feelings are powerful and probably make you want to hide in a hole and never come out. In this episode, I will help you work through these moments so you can come back stronger.

Your brain is programmed to see what’s wrong because it's trying to protect you, so that’s what it’s always looking for. Your brain will spend all day searching and finding negative thoughts that create negative emotions just so you will go somewhere safe and hide. This is the opposite of self-confidence and I’ll tell you how to turn it around in this episode.

Does the Senior Leadership Know Your Name?

Do you know those moments at work when you feel like blending into the wallpaper? You're this hidden gem, but no one has the map to find you. Yeah, I've been there, and trust me, so many of the fantastic people I talk to feel the same way.  

Whenever someone like you shares their story with me, I always think, 'Wow, if only more people knew just how awesome they are.' You’ve got all these amazing talents and ideas, but sometimes it feels like you're whispering in a crowded football stadium.

Today, I’m going to dive deep into this topic. It's not just about getting noticed at work but about celebrating all the cool things that make you YOU. Remember, it's not always about the big office or the fancy title. It's about making waves, leaving your mark, and creating your unique magic.

So, if you've ever felt like you’re playing small, grab a coffee or a cup of tea, and let's chat. Because you, my friend, are meant for a more expansive career and life. It is possible!

How Did I Become Known?

I became “known” for my focus on our customers and deep technical and system focus. This didn’t happen overnight…  

• I spent ten years as an Enlisted Sailor, working as a systems technician
• Later, I became a defense acquisition expert.
• I had opportunities to work at organizations where I was directly responsible for the manpower, training, and sustainment of the systems.
• When working at an organization leading Defense Acquisition efforts, I was directly responsible for developing the modern version of the program I was a technician for in my younger days.
• Eventually, I had the opportunity to work at an organization that greatly expanded my knowledge, but where there was an abundance of people who understood the training and even a good amount who understood manpower and manning, but a minimal number who understood the entire spectrum of taking a new technical requirement for a capability and transforming it into a powerful system out in an operational environment.
• Still.. I always remembered what it was like to be a young Enlisted person or a young Naval Officer who didn’t have the network or understanding of budgets, programs, available support, and how it all came together.  
• Some people cared about the Fleet without my expertise, and some had exquisite expertise without understanding what it was like to be a Sailor. 

Some people cared about the Fleet without my expertise, and some had exquisite expertise without understanding what it was like to be a Sailor. I used my combination of experiences and went ALL IN and became known for making sure our customers (the Sailors) have what they need to conduct their missions, in a MAJOR WAY.

Does it Matter if You are Known at Work?

For many reasons, it is essential to become "known" for something in a large organization. Here are a few of the most important ones:

• It can help you get ahead. When you are known for your skills and expertise, you are more likely to be promoted and given more opportunities.
• It can help you build relationships. When people know you and what you do, they are more likely to want to work with you. This can lead to new opportunities and collaborations.
• It can give you a voice. When you are known, you have a platform to share your ideas and insights. This can help you make a difference in the organization and the world.
• It can make you more marketable. If you are known for your skills and expertise, you will be more attractive to other organizations. This can give you more options and opportunities in your career.
• It can boost your confidence. When you are known for something, it can give you a sense of accomplishment and confidence. This can help you succeed in your career and in life.

Of course, there are also some challenges to becoming known in a large organization. It can take time and effort to build a reputation. You may also need to overcome the challenges of being an introvert in a corporate setting. But if you are willing to put in the work, becoming known for something can be a valuable asset to your career.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE NOT KNOWN?

There are a few signs that you may not be known in a large organization:

• People don't know your name. This is the most obvious sign. If people don't know your name, they probably know little about you or your work.
• You're not invited to meetings or events. If you're not invited to important meetings or events, it's a sign that people don't see you as a critical player in the organization.
• Your ideas are ignored. If you share your ideas and no one notices, it's a sign that people don't value your contributions.
• You're not considered for promotions or new opportunities. If you're not being considered for promotions or new opportunities, it's a sign that people don't see you as a high-potential employee.
• You feel like an outsider. If you feel like you don't belong in the organization, it's a sign that you're not known or connected to the people there.

Here are some specific things you can do to become known in a large organization:

• Find your niche and become an expert. What are you passionate about? What are you good at? Focus on developing your skills and knowledge in this area, and become known as the go-to person for that topic. This could involve writing articles, speaking at conferences, or volunteering to lead projects. This also means staying current on the latest trends and developments and sharing knowledge.
• Get involved in projects that are visible to senior leaders. This could involve volunteering for stretch assignments or leading cross-functional teams. This is a great way to meet people from other departments and learn about different business areas. It also shows that you can work with others outside your comfort zone.
• Network with people in your field. Attend industry events, connect with people on LinkedIn, and reach out to people you admire—network with people in your field. Attend industry events, connect with people on LinkedIn, and reach out to people you admire. The more people you know, the more likely you will be heard.
• Be a mentor or sponsor. Helping others is a great way to build relationships and positively impact the organization. You demonstrate your leadership skills and commitment to the company when you mentor or sponsor someone.

• Be visible and accessible. Make sure people know who you are and what you do. Don't be afraid to speak up in meetings or share your ideas. The more visible you are, the more likely people are to know who you are and what you do.
• Volunteer for stretch assignments. This is a great way to get noticed by senior leaders. People will notice your abilities when you take on challenging projects and deliver results.
• Be confident. Believe in yourself and your abilities. If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will.
• Be positive and enthusiastic. People are drawn to those who are positive and passionate about their work.

If you can do these things, you will be well on your way to becoming known in a large organization.

ACTIVITY

Choose 2-3 ideas from this article and begin to implement them. For example, volunteer for a Cross-Organizational Team, ask someone more junior if they would like a mentor, or identify your top three strengths and then brainstorm ways that you might be able to use them more robustly in your current organization.  I have a robust activity I take my clients through to get after this in my executive coaching program – it is eye-opening when they realize all they have to offer, yet they have been holding back in many ways that they weren’t aware of.  

CONCLUSION

It's important to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to becoming known in a large organization. The most important thing is to be yourself and to focus on doing great work. If you do that, people will notice you.

Here are some additional tips that may be helpful for introverted women:

• Find a mentor or sponsor who can help you navigate the organization and advocate for you.
• Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Many people will help you succeed, so don't hesitate to reach out.
• Be patient. Building a reputation and becoming known in a large organization takes time. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results overnight.

I hope these tips help you to become known in a large organization. You’ve got this!

I hope this conversation today sheds some light into those hidden corners so that you spend less time feeling unseen at work. 

Remember: you are an absolute rockstar, even if the spotlight hasn't found you yet. Just keep going; it will work.

Keep shining and being your fabulous self; trust me, the right people will notice. And if they don't? Well, you’ve got me and the entire community right here that sees and celebrates you.

So, until the next episode, take good care of yourself. Stay radiant, stay bold, and always know I’ll be here, cheering you on!

How does genetic predisposition block your success?

Humans are creatures of habit. We find ways to get through life that keep us safe, fed, and comfortable. We have all of our genetic history working to ensure we have a safe place to sleep and food in our belly so we have the energy to find new food tomorrow. This is how we stay alive. Our genetic predisposition also drives us to find the easiest way to get the food and the safety. In other articles, I have talked about ways to remove friction in your life. These have been focused on the process improvements you can make in your own life to help you get things done so you can free up time or reduce drama. So, yes – I am all about making your life function smoothly. It is essential. There is a difference between a smooth, functioning, high-potential life and a life where ease and comfort are your primary goals. The fact that you are reading this article tells me one thing about you:  you are interested in finding your highest potential life. If you are interested in changing your trajectory, then it’s time to decide you will do some things differently. 

What unconscious routines do you follow?

Too often, out of habit, you may recycle the same life, day in and day out. Think about it: Even if you haven’t written them down, you do have routines you follow:

• What you do when you wake up
• What you do to get ready
• What you do when you show up at work
• The food you eat at lunchtime
• The end of workday wrap-up
• What you do when you leave work
• Maintenance or clearing of your home
• Grocery shopping and the items you put in your cart
• How you consume food
• What you do when you have time to yourself
• What you do at the end of the day until you fall asleep

Yes – you have routines, habits, essentially patterns in your life that you recycle repeatedly as a month and another year pass. 

You also have dreams and goals you are struggling to make a reality, and too often, it feels like it will never happen. That is when you start thinking, maybe that dream is not meant for me. Maybe other people can have it, but not me. You think, perhaps my life is as good as it will get. 

I want to tell you that it doesn’t have to stay this way. 

Your thoughts, like, “Maybe it’s not meant for me,” will not serve you. Think about something you want and focus on it; get it clear in your mind. Can you picture it? Now say aloud, “Maybe it’s not for me”.

How does that make you feel?  

I bet it makes you feel demotivated, tired, and sad. When you feel demotivated, you eat things you didn’t plan on, drink too much wine, watch too much T.V., or sleep too long. Those actions do NOT result in you taking the steps that would’ve moved you closer to your dream.  

I need to give you some real talk now: If what you have been doing is not moving you closer to your dream, then the only way to get there is to try something different.

You can’t keep waking up like in the movie “Ground Hog Day,” doing the same things and then wondering why nothing changes. You have to decide to deliberately alter your path to go in the direction you want to go. Success is available to you if you choose to move toward it. 

Are you moving toward your dream?

I’ve read “Choice Theory” by William Glasser, M.D.; it is a great companion to this article. Choice theory, as defined in this book, is “Internal control psychology; it explains why and how we make the choices that determine the course of our lives.” Going back to the early episodes of the "Introverted Executive Podcast," you will find an episode about Locus of control. In that episode, we discussed that you either have more of an internal or external locus of control. When you have a more internal locus of control, you believe you have more control over the outcomes in your life, and people with a more internal locus of control tend to become more successful. People with a more external Locus of Control believe that life happens TO them and that they don’t have much control over their outcomes. This book, Choice Theory, is similar, and I love how Dr. Glasser makes some of his points. Ok, think about that dream you thought about earlier in this podcast. Then, think about all of the actions you plan to do today.

Dr. Glasser wants you to ask:  Will these actions bring you closer to your goal or further from your destination? In each moment, you can move toward your dream or away from your dream. You only have to decide.

Is it possible to change a deep-seated belief?

You have a LOT more control of your life than you act like you do. The reasons you have these beliefs are complex and many, but suffice it to say that you have been conditioned to believe that many things in your control are not. Beliefs, once seated, are challenging to change – but there are many beliefs you have that are worth questioning. It is possible to change a deep-seated belief, even when you’ve held on to it and believed it was a fact for a long time. 

I can give you a straightforward example from my own life. I live a keto lifestyle and have for many years. It is mainly because I feel better when I eat many good veggies with good omega-3 fatty acids and nutrient-packed meat protein. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis many years ago, and I know my body feels better and my M.S. symptoms are significantly reduced when I stick to keto. This is a powerful motivator for me not to stray. Still, I am not perfect, and occasionally, when I allow my stress to affect me negatively, I do something I know I will regret later, like running through a drive-through to get carb-laden comfort food.

A couple of years ago, I had a breakthrough about this. I work on a Navy base where there is a commissary. The commissary is as close to my office as any lunch restaurant. I went to the produce section and got a take-out salad, which was terrific. That was a markedly different action than I had usually been taking and one that set me up for success. I avoided it because I didn’t feel like walking into the commissary in my business clothes, but that was just a thought in my brain and wasn’t serving me.

One slightly different choice made me feel amazing the rest of the day because I ate something clearly ON my plan. (Not sort of on my plan – if I squinted, or barely off my plan, or even entirely off my plan -- which usually makes me feel bad anyway.)  What I choose to eat is my choice. One choice makes me feel fantastic, and one option zaps my energy and makes my M.S. symptoms worse. It is MY choice. So – every day, I have to decide if I will choose to blame stress and make bad food choices or walk into the commissary in my business clothes, where I can get fuel for my body that brings me energy.

I can improve that even further and choose to pack a healthy lunch that makes eating well easy. Stress is going to happen; that is also something I choose. I went after a career with high responsibility and bouts of anxiety because I care about what I do, and I believe I can manage it. Given that I want to be here, I can choose to make choices that allow me to thrive and grow further, or I can make choices that deteriorate my health. 

I want you to live a life that embraces the entire human experience. We are only here for so long, and rather than numbing hours and days of your life, I want you to feel alive! I want you to feel like you made a difference. I want you to leave something behind that says you were here.  

How do you know if you are recycling your life?

1. Feel sure your best years are behind you like life is as good as it's ever going to get

2. Come home from work, pour a glass of wine, and turn on Netflix until you fall asleep.

3. Keep doing the same things every day and never accomplish new goals. You don’t even remember the last time you deliberately made a goal.

4. Realize you don’t remember the last time you made a new friend or had a unique experience.

5. Remember when you felt an urgency to improve the world but lost that passion?

6. Don't take care of yourself: diet, exercise, mental health, or going to the doctor.

Five ways to get unstuck:

1. Spend time today, even one hour, and DECIDE if there is something else you want out of life, even if you are not sure it is possible. At least decide and admit to yourself what it is you truly want.

2. What would you tell yourself if you fully believed your “goal” is possible? Write that thought down. A way you can help yourself:  Imagine living the life you want. Imagine it is five years from now. What would it say if that version of you could write a letter with one sentence to you today? Keep this thought front of mind.  

3. Start today and start taking small actions from that thought. What would she do? She might do something that makes you uncomfortable, she might drink less wine, she might watch less T.V., she might travel more and meet more people, she might learn to surf. She goes on adventures and says “Yes” to things that scare her. She takes active steps toward her goal daily and feels empowered. She believes she is getting there faster!

4. If you know your current life is not inspiring and don’t know what you want, I recommend changing your scenery, finding some art, exercising, spending time in nature, and making your heartbeat. Do it repeatedly, and then write after each time – downloading your thoughts until you feel inspired enough to dream. Then, go back to step #1.

5. The more you take these steps, the more you will evolve into who you want to be, and before you know it, you will be living the life you want to live!

Move toward your dreams today.

If you are reading this, I doubt that comfort and ease are your primary goals. Your highest potential life will only come by stretching your beliefs about what is possible for you and by taking steps toward that idea. If you want to change your trajectory, it’s time to decide you will do some things differently – start today. Start now. Before you know it, you will no longer feel like you are living a recycled life, like you repeatedly recycle the same day. You will have taken control of the outcomes in your life and will be on your way to living a life you thought was only possible in your dreams.

Even if you are succeeding in every area and receiving acclaim, awards, and praise -- you'll have times when you are alone and you'll look in your mirror and focus on all your flaws, on all ways you are not as good as someone else. You zoom in on the smallest things and not only think, but actually BELIEVE, with your whole heart and soul that this flaw is the entire reason for everything that has ever gone wrong. We've all been there. You can flip the script on your mindset and those flaws.

You can create genius around you and you can drive others to have a higher contribution.  In every place you ever work, you will find that resources – either people or money, will always be an issue.  Even if you work at the top Fortune 500 companies, they are driven to produce a profit and are beholden to shareholders.  If you are in the military or the government, there is no new money.  Therefore, you will grow as a leader and become a person who is able to produce real, tangible results when you learn to use all the talent and intelligence of your entire team and others around you.  On the other hand, you will drive others away and hamper the best ideas from bubbling up if you are a Diminisher.  This will impact your results, dampen the business and demotivate all those around you.  I know who you want to be.  This episode will get you on the right track.

I almost made the biggest career mistake of my entire life this year. Oh yeah – I almost blew it. I almost ruined my chance. I almost failed – it was so close. Looking back now, I can’t believe how close I came to losing out on a big opportunity.

What did I do that was so horrible? That is exactly what I’ll detail for you in this episode today.

Today, on International Women’s day, and every day, the best thing we can do as women is to help other women. Teach them, mentor them, guide them, learn from them, and listen to them. I am only where I am today because of other amazing women. My mom, step-mom, and grandmothers, my great grandmothers, sister, and girlfriends. Women I met in the Navy and so many amazing women in my post-Navy life are role models and mentors to me now. I'm thankful for all the women who made me who I am and for all the women who paved the way to all my generation to achieve the success we have. The best way to repay them is for me, and for you, to be the best we can every day, to use our gifts, to shine our light brighter than any generation before us, and then to mentor the next generation as they did for us. 

I chose a photo of a "dust bowl" era mother for today's cover.  We so often think of those who came before us as "Rosie the Riveter" or the women of the Suffrage movement.  They were very important.  The lineage of strong women in my family flows straight through the dust bowl.  My great grandmother and grandmother lived in southern Colorado, near Kansas and Oklahoma, during this era and worked harder and longer, with great concern for their lives.  They struggled in ways we cannot imagine so that I can be here talking to you today.  My work ethic comes from them, but I know NOTHING of the struggles they lived through.  Thank you Granny and Grandma - you created a better world for us all.  Love, Tami

Today I have something I have been wanting to talk to you about for awhile, and I have been waiting for an episode just like this to have a more personal conversation with you about who you know you are and the competing voices of those around you who doubt you, doubt you can do what you are setting out to do.  The title of this show is: Doubters Destroy Dreams, but you must Push Forward Anyway!

Ok, you have heard my examples – do you have any examples of times people told you couldn’t but then you succeeded, in spite of their doubts?   I would love to hear your stories and I am sure they would help others just like you who have some negativity surrounding their dreams!

In my business/work life I have an interesting problem, one that some of you may have as well. Due to concerns over intellectual property or other types of security, many companies and organizations will not allow you to take your cell phones, iPads, or even smartwatches into your workspaces.

Considering the way most of us work these days, this is hard to comprehend. In this episode, I explain my task management system, which works no matter where I am and with or without a phone!

If you are like me, now and then, you come to a fork in the road, and you know it’s time to decide you are either going to settle and this is as good as it gets – OR it’s you have to decide that it’s time to level up. You know my perspective on things, and I know you feel it too: you are here for a reason, and to fully realize that purpose, you must DECIDE that you will live up to your full capability and realize the impact you were born to make.

Imagine the world we could create if we all believed we could make a difference. You have been meaning to do something BIG, you have it in your mind but you think it might be just a bit crazy. It would be SO hard. But, what if you decided that this was it? 2021 is the year you are going to try. I believe that a year like 2020 is the motivation we need to do just that.  

Watch the "Great Realisation" Video by the "Probably TomFoolerly" YouTube Channel.  It is so well done, watched by over 6 Million people.  Even if you have seen it before - watch it again and think about what we talked about on this episode before you decide what your 2021 goals will be.

The leaders we will discuss today are one example of good people who became very successful and then chose not to adapt when the feedback came their way. Why wouldn’t they have made changes sooner?  Well – that is what this episode is about:  Why Senior Leaders lose self-awareness and how you can avoid falling in this trap.  At the end of this episode, we will discuss the steps you can take to achieve greatness by becoming a leader with grace.  Many leaders could use improvement in all the areas we will discuss today, including me in some cases, but not all leaders are aware that THEY are part of the "many."

A person with Executive Presence will be ready when that amazing opportunity comes knocking. When you arrive at an interview (even if it is on Zoom) with a neat, professional appearance, the picture of poise -- others will take note. When they then ask you for examples of your work, and you open your book to the exact page and highlight the perfect example, you will come across as organized, methodical, and prepared.

These moments are always impressive.

The best way to curate these moments is to have the work done ahead of time so that even if you have to tweak or tailor your resume or your portfolio, it will be fairly easy and low stress to take care of it.
