Ignite Your Confidence with Karen Laos

The Discipline of Showing Up with Teresa Rand

Episode Summary

When Teresa Rand decided she wanted to become the CEO of YMCA, all she could see was the gap between her qualifications as a single mother and the college degree she needed. Through the disciplined journey of earning her college degree, Teresa realized she cracked the code: it all comes down to showing up and doing the work. Teresa now shows up powerfully as the Founder and President of Rand Consulting, a firm specializing in speaking, training, and executive-level career coaching for individuals and businesses. Be inspired by her journey and listen to the end to learn how you can show up for her Boss Lady Conference this September!

Episode Notes

Tangible Takeaways:

• Keep in mind: it's not personal. It’s about them and what they’re trying to say. This is why understanding communication styles is important.
• Your basic personality should not have to change when you walk through the doors at work or log in to Zoom. You have permission to be you!
• When we adapt and pivot for other's communication styles, this is not about changing who you are, but being more reflective and responsive to those around you.
• The key to accomplishing your goals is to show up and do the work. It all funnels down to being disciplined!
• As women, we often believe we must be able to check all the boxes before pursuing a new job or opportunity. Men don’t do this! Be courageous, and go for it!
• Confidence is all about being coachable.
• When taking a job: lean in and ask questions. This is your time to ask, don’t hold back!
