Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Podcasts in Careers! "Know that you are amazing. Every individual on the planet is, and the world needs your talents and your abilities desperately. Can you trust and accept that fact, that you are special and you are unique, and now is the time to recognize that clearly?" - Kathy Caprino I'm very excited to be sharing over the next seven weeks vitally important key career growth strategies, solutions, tips and inspiring real-life stories from my new book, The Most Powerful You: 7 Bravery-Boosting Paths to Career Bliss, that's publishing July 28th in the US and August 1st in Australia and New Zealand (and in the UK on January 1)! The book explores what my research over the past 10 years working with thousands of women around the world has uncovered are the 7 most damaging power gaps that professional women face today that keep women from reaching their highest and most thrilling potential and goals in their work. The first gap I'll be talking about today is Gap #1: Not Recognizing Your Special Talents, Abilities, and Accomplishments. This is THE most prevalent gap that I work with in my coaching programs, courses and trainings with women. So many thousands of women struggle to recognize that they are talented, and how these talents and abilities truly matter in the world. I want to stress that it's not arrogant or selfish to recognize and appreciate that you have greatness inside of you, because when you leverage those talents in a bigger way and in service to others, you are finally able to make the powerful difference that you were meant to, and experience the joy, reward and fulfillment that you long for. I hope you find this episode on Power Gap #1--and the entire podcast series and the book-- truly instrumental on your journey to building a thrilling and reward career you love. Stay tuned to learn all about the other six most damaging power gaps women face, s in the upcoming weekly Finding Brave episodes. And as always, I'd love to hear which gaps speak to you most deeply, and your questions and feedback on how this information is moving your forward.
