UPFRONT’s Post

Some good vibes for the weekend to all of you, and especially those of us who are currently in a challenging phase in their professional life – Maybe you are tired at the end of this week, feel overwhelmed or stuck in a situation at work. In principle you like working and have achieved many things already, but you are at a point where your habitual ways of doing things don’t seem to work anymore and you start questioning your job, yourself and your abilities… Maybe you wish to change something, try something new, step up, but something is holding you back… I have been there too several years ago, and I know this feeling, but I also know from experience that it is possible to change this, get your energy back and feel more alive and confident again. It is not about “fixing you” or “fitting in again”, but about (re-)connecting with yourself, what you really want and need also for your job. Maybe this sounds strange to you, because you think work is about performance and things that just need to be done – But what if, there might be more for you, also in your job and you could do things with more lightness and joy again?! There is no magic pill for this, it may take time – your time, and sometimes you may need support with this, but it is so worth it, because you are worth it…This is why today, I am supporting other women on their path. 👉🏼 If this resonates with you, I have an invitation for you: come and join me at my next free live workshop for women on 24 April, 20.00-21.00 CEST online via Zoom “Stop fitting in, start to blossom like a flower: how to grow professionally in your very own way” (link below). 👇🏾 In this workshop, we will explore together: 🌺 How you can turn your professional challenge into your ability to grow 🌺 in your style and your time 🌺 starting with a very first small step. The nice feedback from those women who attended the first workshop last week, motivated me to organise the second edition right away: “It was grounding.”, brought “new insights” and “opened up new perspectives”. 👉 If you are curious, sign up here for the workshop (before 24 April at noon): https://lnkd.in/eQAukadK 📣Please spread the word to other women who could be interested. If you want to know more about my “why” behind my work as self-leadership coach, have a look at the video here below or join the workshop, where I will also briefly say something about my story. #womenempowerment #selfleadership #careertransition #professionaltransformation #professionalgrowth #personalgrowth #femaleleadership

𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙟𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡 – work, family, self – and sometimes, it feels like no one sees the silent overwhelm. But what if I told you that hidden blocks might be silently sabotaging your energy, confidence, and success? Hi, I’m Dr. Mavis 🌸, and I’m beyond excited to announce the launch of my new program, This Is My Season To Soar! This is for the women who give their all every day but still feel like something’s missing – because I’ve been there. Burnt out, juggling everything, dreams on hold, wondering when it’ll be your time. This program was created BY a busy, professional mom FOR busy, professional moms like you. 🎯 It doesn’t just offer surface-level advice; it goes straight to the root, focusing on permanent identity mindset shifts that help you rise above the overwhelm and hidden blocks. Together, 𝘄𝗲’l𝗹 𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺, one of the 7 deadly hidden culprits holding professional moms back. We’ll uncover why it persists and how you can finally let it go for good. And I’m not just talking theory here – my method is based on science, years of personal experience, and what I’ve seen work for countless women. This is about transformation, not just band-aid fixes. 💥 And the exciting part? I’ve been invited to speak at the Female Entrepreneur Community Networking Event (with 185K members!) on this very topic. I’d love to have you join me as we dive deep into the mindset work that can truly shift your life. 🗓 Mark your calendar for 10/10 @10am HST – yes, that’s your divine sign to make a change! This program is a 6-week pilot, and I’m only taking 7-10 women. Don’t overthink it—jump in NOW while the investment is a steal because after this, the price will rise significantly. 🔥 Why the Snoop video? Well, why not?! 😎 I’m doing this my way, unapologetically, and I want you to come on this journey with me. Are you ready? 🚀 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 "𝗜'𝗠 𝗜𝗡" 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄, and let’s start this powerful transformation together. This is YOUR season to soar. Let's do it, mama! #LifeTransformation #FreedomAndControl #PersonalGrowth #TimeManagement #lifecoachingforwomen #lifemasteryconsultant #dreambig #IdentityTransformation #lifecoach #lifehacks #business #takingaction #passiontoprofit #professionalmom

"But how did I get here?" she asked herself (and me) over tears... I left space for a long pause between the punctuation of her inquiry and the truths of the answer to be revealed. Many of us have asked ourselves this question. I know I have. After landing dream job after dream job, traveling the world, and launching my own business that honored my best skills and call to serve, I STILL found myself sobbing at a desk, in the office I designed to match my brand, minutes before my next call with a dream client winning at the game of life. There are times when that same question, "But how did I get here?" comes with the energy of awe, delight and joy over the miracles we've created, blessings we've received. There are times when that very same question is harsher than fluorescent lighting looming over you, while a nurse intrusively questions your history, at a doctor's appointment you don't want to be at... Isn't it interesting how we often avoid the medicine we need? We put off those appointments just as we like to avoid and put off answering the question, "But how did I get here?" Ironically, I've found the answer to that question is really another question that usually sounds a little like this, "When did I lose that part of myself?”  The part that listened for and trusted her truth. The part that isn't afraid to stand out softly and boldly. The part that followed her heart and partnered it with supportive actions. The part that believed the world was her oyster and always working out for her, in EVERY area of her life (not just business, career and money). I started here, followed the breadcrumbs and unraveled to rebuild a life I now love and FEEL loved in. It might be a good place to start if you're wondering the same, "But how did I get here?" ——— p.s. I'm Ash. I inspire and work with women like you who realize what's got them this far in life isn't what's going to take them where they really (and secretly) want to go. And that's a tough pill to swallow for smart, ambitious women like us. If this resonates with you (or someone you know), no need to respond or comment. Instead, send me a DM, request to connect, or forward to the woman you know needs to read it. Thank you! ✨

PURPOSEFUL CAREERS As we wind down the women's month, I recall a notable programme, "Navigating Purpose with Temi" I was invited to feature as a guest speaker discussing the subject of "Navigating your career with purpose". A vibrant young lady named "Temi" came calling a couple of months ago, she got through to a friend to facilitate an introduction to me, so she could invite me to feature on her programme. After listening to her, I knew it was a 'must-do', as her narrative was compelling, and the programme was clearly a laudable pursuit. See below an extract from her introduction of the subject. "I started Navigating Purpose to answer deep rooted questions in my heart around identity, purpose, and impact. In my daily conversations with friends, I found that a lot of women were equally looking for answers — with many existing instead of living, occupying space and dominating in all spheres of life." Navigating Purpose with Temi The recording session lasted over an hour and I was humbled to have an opportunity to contribute to another woman's journey. Purpose enables career success, and I reckon this is a fact which applies to both men and women. Let's explore together and I hope you find this enriching as you listen, please share with others.

Why Connecting with Other Women is Essential for Personal Development! As someone who has spent nearly two decades in LinkedIn marketing and sales, I’ve come to realize that true growth often happens outside of our comfort zones. This realization was solidified through my journey of transitioning from a corporate career to entrepreneurship after the age of 50. One of the most transformative experiences in this journey has been attending retreats with other women. Why Retreats Matter 🌙 1. A Safe Space for Vulnerability: Retreats provide a unique environment where women can feel safe to share their stories, challenges, and dreams without judgment. This vulnerability fosters deep connections and understanding, which are crucial for personal growth. 🙆🏼♀️ 2. Inspiration and Motivation: Being surrounded by like-minded women who are also on their paths to self-discovery and empowerment can be incredibly inspiring. You’ll find motivation in their stories of resilience and success, which can fuel your own journey. 🎬 3. Learning and Growth: Retreats often feature workshops, discussions, and activities designed to help you learn new skills, gain insights, and challenge your thinking. This continuous learning is essential for personal development. 🎗️ 4. Community and Support: The sense of community built during a retreat extends beyond the event itself. You leave with a network of supportive women who can offer advice, encouragement, and friendship long after the retreat ends. My Speaking Engagement at the Tangled Silver Conference I am thrilled to announce that I will be speaking at the upcoming "The Sisterhood Experience" sponsored by Tangled Silver Magazine - created and hosted by the remarkable Robin Salls. This conference is a celebration of women supporting women, and it offers a fantastic opportunity to connect, learn, and grow together.

Sharing this gem with all the amazing women in my network! Today is the last chance to watch the replay of Julie Cober’s masterclass, BE BOLD, BE YOU! I needed to hear her empowering message, and I’m sure many of you will benefit from it too. It’s all about living the life we deserve—with freedom, fulfillment, choice, and confidence! My Key Takeaways Day 1: Appreciate the 'WHO' you are now! What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right? Embrace every challenge and setback as part of the growth that’s shaped you into the resilient, powerful person you are today. It’s all part of the journey toward becoming the best version of yourself. Day 2: Design the 'WHO' you want to be! Take control of your future by envisioning the person you aspire to become. With intention and clarity, map out the traits, habits, and values that will guide you toward that vision. Remember, you are the architect of your own life! Day 3: Live your 'WHO'! Bring the vision you’ve designed to life by manifesting it daily through your actions, mindset, and choices. Consistently embody the person you want to become—your thoughts and behaviors will align with your aspirations, turning your design into reality. Don't miss out—hear it directly from her.

Revealing the common bond of what is really holding the women I work with back in their careers (does this apply to you too? – Let’s see…) Meet the trifecta of fears. 1️⃣ Fear of Judgement: We worry about what others will think, fearing criticism or rejection. 2️⃣ Fear of 'What If': We get caught up in endless scenarios of what could go wrong, paralyzing ourselves with uncertainty. 3️⃣ Fear of Failure: We're afraid to fall short of our own or others' expectations and disappoint the people around us. Does any of this resonate with you? If so - Know that you're not alone. It is super common for these fears to amplify in our 30’s & 40’s - especially as we rise in the ranks of our career. We become more visible. We have more responsibility. We have more to lose. These are all very common fears I treat inside the CAN Program. When these fears go untreated, they get bigger and become blocks that keep you from putting yourself out there with confidence. Ready to break free from the grip of these fears and step boldly into your power? Let's tackle those nagging fears head-on together inside the CAN Program. This week I helped my client shift from being held in the grips of this fear worrying she was going to let her team down into being 100% confident going into her Market Week Presentations. We shifted her from wondering "Oh my god - what if I get it wrong" to "I KNOW MY 💩. I've 100% got this." I guided another client on how to lead her meetings with empowered authority and present her ideas fueled level 10 confidence even when the room is filled with Negative Nancy's who are ready to tear her ideas apart. She used to crumble under the pressure of being challenged but not this week. After our coaching, she left the meeting with an approval on her concept and is now celebrating moving into the development stage. Fear is something you can move through when you have the right tools. So don't let this fear trifecta hold you back any longer when you have the right tools available to you right now. Join me in conquering your fears and unlocking your full potential inside the CAN Program. Get started here: https://lnkd.in/gtkpZiJs PS: A bit of unsolicited advice - Remember, the only opinion that truly matters is your own. Instead of focusing on everything that can go wrong, focus on what could go right and take that leap of faith. Failure is not the end - it's nothing more than feedback that informs our next success. #confidencecoach #confidentmindset #confidencecoachingforwomen #successmindset #successbuilding #womeninbusiness #beautybusiness

Good Morning Get Up 'N Go! 😇🙏 "You were put on this earth because you serve a purpose." - 2024 HS Graduate Lisa Wow, what a statement! I borrowed this from a close LinkedIn fam connection who attended their niece's graduation last week. I just thought, how wonderful for someone who is just graduating high school to "get it" that young. So I asked if I could borrow it for a post and got a resounding YES! I've been meeting a lot of women this week (and it's only Wednesday) who are "shy" of standing in their light and sharing their purpose. Why? 🤔 Judgement from others? 🥺 Not liking how they see themselves? 😣 Missing support or a mentor to help them? Could be. But it doesn't really matter why. What matters is that they know they are valuable and worthy in their own light. That no matter what, someone has their back. This is my 'WHY'. Helping women to be empowered, feel worthy, and valued for the light they shine upon us all while sharing their purpose which is priceless. No one should wait in the shadows: ⌛ For the right moment to make a change. 👌 For approval to make a decision. 💋 For a day they look their best. My next webinar coming up is about women experiencing the power of: 🦄 Authenticity ✋ Healthy Boundaries 💪 'No' being a complete sentence. Don't be left lurking in the shadows. Come shine with me! 💫 Comment 👇👇👇 if you have an interest and be on the lookout for more info-posts and invite. I've got your back! Love & Light, Michele 🥰 *********************** Empowering Women Entrepreneurs and Attorneys to believe in themselves, create healthy boundaries, communicate authentically and live a purposeful life. I believe in YOU!
