Feeling like you've outgrown the old perceptions at work? You're not alone. Tasha, once an administrative assistant, now leads a team driving $22 million in revenue. Yet, when the chief sales officer retired, the promotion didn't land on her desk. Sound familiar? 🔍 Sometimes, our growth isn't as visible to others as it is to ourselves. If you're facing a similar situation, here are three tips from Darcy Eikenberg and Sarah Mann: 1️⃣ Clarify the gap between how you're perceived and how you want to be seen. 2️⃣ Shed tasks associated with your past role to signal your evolution. 3️⃣ Advocate for yourself. Don't be shy about showing stakeholders how you've changed. #CareerGrowth #PerceptionShifts #OwnYourEvolution

As I reflect on my journey spanning over a decade as an Executive Assistant, I'd like to be kinder to myself and pat myself on the back for the times where I made magic happen. To be an executive assistant is to embody the essence of versatility, resilience, and unwavering dedication. It's all the heartwork while we wear numerous hats, seamlessly transitioning from planner to problem solver, from confidante to coordinator. We are the silent orchestrators — working behind the scenes to ensure everything falls perfectly into place, often sacrificing everything else we can for the greater good. In the whirlwind of these responsibilities, we find ourselves navigating the delicate balance between visibility and invisibility. While we're always at the forefront and ensuring everyone else has what they need when they need it, we often forget to recognise our true superpowers in these moments of quiet dedication. Today, I would like to offer this reminder to myself and others who resonate: Your impact reverberates far beyond the surface. Your dedication, your attention to detail, and your unwavering commitment are noticed. You are the backbone, the silent force that propels part of the organization forward. Your talents may be hidden, but they are undeniable. So, here's to you (and me) — who work with heart to ensure the success of others. Everything you’ve dedicated are not just appreciated; they are essential. Keep shining behind the scenes, knowing that your contributions might make all the difference in the world to someone ♥️

Here we are, Career Pivot # 8️⃣ ! I’m thrilled to share that I am launching a People-centered Consulting practice, We, the People People. Our mission is to bring the most important things on your “People” list to life. 🌱 -> 🌳 https://lnkd.in/ggv9jEhy My career path has been a winding one. But, every experience, from: -corporations to non-profits to public companies to startups -in-house to consulting and back again (and again!) -(perhaps the most extreme! 🙀 ) owning a cookie company to working in the weight loss and wellness space,  ...but all centered on people development–has led me here. I’ll be offering a limited number of fractional CPO engagements, in addition to project engagements, to address business challenges such as: 😐 Low employee engagement/rising attrition, burnout 💬 Misalignment around org priorities, coordination costs across a growing organization 📊 Gaps in People data (eg skills, headcounts, trends) used for business and investment decisions I’m grateful for those who have offered help–so here’s the ask! 1️⃣ Share the news! If you know a leader looking for someone to help them supercharge and execute on their top People priorities, share this post, the website or my profile–maybe a founder building their People team, the head of a business unit, or a CHRO who needs a smidge of extra short-term capacity on their team. 2️⃣ Write a LinkedIn recommendation. If our work together resulted in a richer personal or professional experience for you–I’d love to share that with potential clients! 3️⃣ Engage with me. As I build this firm, I plan to do more writing and speaking, and want to learn from your comments, questions, and healthy debate. I’m excited 🙌 to see what we can do together!

The average tenure of a Chief Revenue Officer is between 18 and 24 months depending on your data source. How can a role that is supposed to be driving long term strategic decisions do so, when they are measured on such a short time horizon? I've laid out the high level profile for the role using the right hand side of the Value Proposition Canvas. - Pinks: Jobs to be done - what are the core elements of the CROs role? - Oranges: Desired gains - what does a CRO desire from their professional role and personal life - Yellows: Pains - what is preventing the CRO from achieving those desired gains Would love to know your perspective of what is missing.
