I spent years trying to figure out leadership on my own, then more years asking the wrong people for help. Here's what changed everything, and how you can start building your own circle: morewomenpromoted.com/masterclass
Have you ever gotten advice that was completely wrong for your situation, from someone who genuinely wanted to help? That disconnect isn't random. It usually means you asked the right person the wrong question, or the wrong person entirely.
I used to believe that once I made it to director, I was supposed to have all the answers. So when I got stuck, I either tried to solve it alone, or I asked whoever happened to be successful, whether or not their life looked anything like mine. Both mistakes kept me spinning my wheels for years.
In this episode, I break down the two advice mistakes that quietly stall careers, and the exact process I now use to find people who can actually help.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Why asking for help gets harder the higher you climb, and what it's actually costing you
The difference between getting bad advice and getting no advice at all (and why bad advice can set you back further)
How to spot when you're asking someone who simply doesn't share your context, even if they're smart and successful
The 3-step process I use to find the right people before I even need them
What the research says about why women with strong peer networks are more likely to reach senior leadership
