In my last newsletter, I wrote about navigating the range between authenticity and strategy at work, which can be rather challenging.
I mean, navigating any career – especially in a male-dominated industry – can be incredibly challenging.
We all know the statistics and stories. Gender bias and stereotypes persist, making it harder for us to get ahead. And with fewer women in senior positions, finding mentors who truly understand your experiences can be tough. But these challenges aren’t insurmountable. The key is knowing how to tackle them head-on.
?
Here’s the good news:?
with the right support and strategy,?
you can rise above these challenges and thrive.
?
This is where coaching comes in:
Imagine having a partner who’s dedicated to helping you succeed.?
Someone who boosts your confidence, hones your skills, and offers personalized guidance. That’s what coaching does.?
It’s not just about giving advice—it’s about empowering you to find your own path and walk it with confidence.
?
Coaching helps you:
? Build confidence and assertiveness;
? Develop critical leadership skills and build your toolbox;
? Gain insights and perspectives you might have missed on your own.
?
But coaching is just one part of the puzzle.?
To truly excel,?you need a personal success strategy.
?
This strategy is your roadmap to achieving your long-term career goals.?
It includes defining your filters to make sure you achieve your goals, building a robust professional network, and continuously learning to stay ahead of the curve.?
I've always found that I do my best work with clients if we don't enter into a mere coaching relationship, but they also see me as their success strategist.
?
If you think of the two aspects as two sides of the same coin,
it’s a powerful combination that can propel your personal growth
and your career to new heights.
?
Starting this journey might seem daunting, but it’s easier than you think.?
Finding the right coach & strategist is a great first step.?
(This might be me for some of you, but others among you will need a different type of coach, and that's okay.)
?Look for someone who understands where you are and where you want to go. Also, trust your gut and work with someone with whom you feel a genuine connection.?
?
Then, begin crafting your personal success strategy. There's a lot of reverse-engineering involved – backwards from your next big goal – which makes it harder to do it by yourself.?
?
Remember, you don’t have to go it alone.?
?
I’m here to help if you need some guidance on developing your success strategy.
With the right support and a solid plan, you can overcome any obstacle and achieve your career goals.
?
If you’re feeling inspired and ready to take control of your career, I’d love to chat.
I am opening spots for three new coaching clients this October/November.

Love, Micha
