Ignite Your Confidence with Karen Laos

Why You're Missing Opportunities

Episode Summary

I’m passionate about helping women speak up and get more opportunities. It’s time for more women to claim their seat in the executive C-suite. I want to flame that fire and provide the tools you need to step into it. Listen and learn how!

Episode Notes

After listening to this episode you will have 3 tangible ways to step into more opportunities. When practiced consistently, you will be amazed by the doors that open.

In many ways, these tips aren’t revolutionary, but rather subtle power moves that will transform you from a hard-working individual to a leader. Step into the awkward spaces, share your thoughts, and be direct!
 

Tangible Takeaways

• You know those few seconds of awkward silence in a meeting? Everyone is waiting for someone to go first. Let that be you! Speak up first.
• A diplomatic way to share your opinion is to start off with, “here’s my vote” or “here’s what I think”. This will establish you as a leader.
• Ask directly. Be very clear on what you’re asking. Use a direct ask such as: “I have a goal to be ______. My next step is ______. What do I need to do to get there?”
