In this episode, we're joined by Llance Kezner, the innovative entrepreneur behind Keep Life Tasty. Llance and his wife Lori have transformed family recipes into award-winning food products that do more than tantalize taste buds—they help people manage stress and anxiety through thoughtful nutrition. As the creative force behind multiple Specialty Food Association award winners including Millie's Sipping Broth, Auntie Gretchen's Water Essence, Betty's Seasoning Blends, and AJ's Veggie Shots, llance shares the remarkable journey of building a plant-based, unsweetened product line now found across specialty retail, grocery, food service, and corporate wellness programs. Llance reveals how the economic downturn of 2009 pushed him and his wife Lori to evaluate their passions and create their own business. What started as a homemade garlic condiment quickly evolved when they unexpectedly won Outstanding Product of the Year at the Fancy Food Show in New York. But their most successful innovation came from Lori's need for a savory, healthy beverage alternative during her teaching breaks. Thus, Millie's Sipping Broth—broth in a teabag—was born, creating an entirely new beverage category that's now carried in thousands of stores including Walmart. Throughout our conversation, Llance shares invaluable insights about entrepreneurship, from testing products at Seattle's Pike Place Market to landing major retail deals, all while balancing family life with two growing sons. He discusses the unique dynamics of working with your spouse, the importance of keeping your day job until your business is proven sustainable, and how being industry outsiders allowed them to think beyond conventional boundaries. Tune in to discover how persistence, creativity, and staying customer-focused transformed a simple kitchen experiment into a nationwide success story. Key Topics: From tech sales to food entrepreneur during the 2009 recession The birth of Garlic It and winning a major food industry award How Millie's Sipping Broth came from a teacher's break room need Creating a 5-second pitch that connects with customers instantly The importance of separating innovation from manufacturing operations Testing products at Pike Place Market to refine messaging Lessons learned from competitors' mistakes Balancing marriage and business partnership Involving children in the family business Navigating day jobs while building a side business Getting discovered by Weight Watchers during COVID Landing a Walmart deal among 7,000 competing brands Future plans for corporate break rooms, hospitals, and coffee shops Why you shouldn't quit your day job too soon The value of being an industry outsider with fresh perspectives Connect with Llance and Millie's Sipping Broth online: Website: https://www.keeplifetasty.com/  Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage @resume.careers Website: https://www.resume-careers.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/courtney-page-9b473914/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/resume-executive-search-development/ YouTube: @courtneyapage Interested in 1:1 Coaching?

In this episode, I take you back to where it all began by revisiting the very first question I had when I started Resume. Whether you're new to the podcast or a seasoned listener, this episode offers a heartfelt dive into the struggle of finding purpose and career happiness.    As we move into the middle of January, that infamous slump period, I revisit a question that gave me anxiety even as a kid: What do you want to be when you grow up? I share my personal journey of wanting to be everything from an actress to a veterinarian, only to find that the question grew more stressful over time.    Fast forward to college and the overwhelming pressure of choosing a major, I felt like I was never exceptional at anything. Graduating during the 2009 recession only added to the chaos.   I recount my first job experience and the lessons I learned from taking a job out of necessity rather than passion. I then share the pivotal moments that eventually led me to start recruiting remotely while pursuing acting classes. This journey illuminated my need for flexibility and creative outlets, ultimately leading me to discover my current purpose — career coaching and this podcast!   The journey was not linear, but it underscored the importance of staying open to new opportunities, embracing change, and continuously experimenting to find what truly lights you up from within. So, let's embrace the journey together and uncover our evolving purposes. Key Topics: The one question that only gets more stressful as you get older Choosing a job over necessity, not passion, and what it taught me Putting pressure on yourself to find your purpose could be holding you back from finding it The 3 crucial things failure taught me Falling in love with remote recruiting Following your instincts and pursuing your talents is vital in the pursuit of purpose The journey to purpose evolves with you 3 questions to ask yourself to help clarify your purpose Sometimes the most purposeful thing we can do is change our minds Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage @resume.careers Website: https://www.resume-careers.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/courtney-page-9b473914/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/resume-executive-search-development/   Interested in 1:1 Coaching?

  Happy New Year! We're gearing up for some hot topics on the podcast in 2025, so in the meantime, enjoy this revisit episode of a solo I recorded back in December 2023 when the podcast was only a few months old at the time!  --------------------------- If you had told me a lot of things at the start of 2023, I probably wouldn't have believed you. Take this podcast, for example. If you had told me in January 2023 that I would have my own successful podcast where I get to interview tons of amazing professionals about their careers and how they got their start, I wouldn't have believed you. And having a great work-life balance at the same time? Forget about it.   But here I am in December 2023, staring down 2024, realizing I've achieved all of that, and more. It's crazy to think about what more I could achieve next year with the right mindset and attitude towards my goals.    So in this quick little recap solo episode, I'm sharing some simple mindset shifts that will help you set realistic and exciting goals so you can start setting yourself up to meet (and even exceed) your goals in the new year.    If you need a push to stop making excuses and find reasons to achieve your dreams instead, grab a pen and paper, and get ready to learn how.  Key Topics: 360 year in review How to have work-life balance and achieve your dreams Get a coach. Seriously. If nothing could stop you, what would you achieve? Make a list of your excuses and reframe them Turning fears into NBDs (No Big Deals)   Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage @resume.careers Website: https://www.resume-careers.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/courtney-page-9b473914/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/resume-executive-search-development/ YouTube: @courtneyapage   Interested in 1:1 Coaching?

Today we have a unique and inspiring guest, Erica Weiderluht, the founder of We The Light. Erica didn't exactly choose her work — it actually chose her. What started as dabbling in the spiritual and woo quickly transitioned into a full career, helping others find their confidence and create more joy in their lives to get to the root of what's holding them back.   Erica's journey began in 2013, transitioning from spiritual coaching to focusing on sex, love, relationships, and pleasure (not just sexual). In this episode, Erica shares her deeply personal story of overcoming struggles with anxiety and self-doubt to empower others to embrace their worthiness, confidence, and pleasure.    Her background in acting has significantly influenced her current work, leading to a seamless blend of personal development that enhances both personal and professional life. We discuss her approach to corporate talks where she addresses how self-love and sexual empowerment can significantly impact professional performance and overall job satisfaction.    With her innovative methods, including workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions featuring traditional talk therapy, visualizations, meditations, and practical exercises, Erica provides tangible tools to integrate pleasure and self-care into our daily routines. Erica shares how individuals can make small yet significant changes in their daily tasks to incorporate more joy and relaxation, thus preventing the exhaustion that often comes with demanding professional roles. We also touch on the critical role of community and support systems in normalizing self-care practices, particularly in a work environment that may not always prioritize mental and emotional well-being.    Erica's holistic approach emphasizes that our lives don't have to be compartmentalized into work and personal spheres — everything is interconnected. By embracing pleasure and confidence, we unlock the potential for a truly fulfilling life.  Key Topics: Overcoming the weirdness and taboo of Erica's career How acting bridged her coaching career Everything comes back to being present in the moment How Erica's career evolved from traditional life coaching to sexual trauma and confidence coaching The "dark night of the soul" moment that triggered Erica's career shift The top issues Erica's clients go to her for Living a pleasurable life is valuable, but isn't valued Deconditioning corporate to value pleasure and joy in the workplace more Pleasure is an antidote to burnout Bringing small moments of pleasure into the mundane How employers and the C-Suite can support employees in prioritizing self-care and mental health Keeping leaders accountable to make sure changes stick Healing confidence wounds at the root Connect with Erica online: Website: https://www.wethelight.org/about Book a complimentary discovery call with Erica: https://wethelightschedule.as.me/schedule/facd32c7/appointment/69843778/calendar/4394651 Instagram: @wethelight_llc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericawiederlight/ Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage @resume.careers Website: https://www.resume-careers.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/courtney-page-9b473914/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/resume-executive-search-development/ YouTube: @courtneyapage   Interested in 1:1 Coaching?

Welcome back! Today, we're venturing into a fascinating and somewhat personal topic — my experience with hypnotherapy. In this episode, I'm taking you through a journey that, while it happened while I was technically 'asleep,' had a profound impact on my life.    You've probably seen those hypnotists that make you do weird things at the snap of a finger, but that's not what we're talking about today. Actually, what I uncovered was far more profound and subtle. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or just curious about hypnotherapy, this story might change the way you think about the power of your own mind.    I initially sought hypnotherapy out of desperation and hope — looking to resolve my deep-seated challenges in achieving a positive money mindset.

I even discovered the connection between the 'mother wound' and 'money wound,' revealing deep-rooted issues that I never anticipated. So, if you're curious about hypnotherapy or dealing with personal mental blocks, this episode is a must-listen. Give it a try — you might find it as life-changing as I did.

This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Melissa Gray, an attorney whose passion is guiding entrepreneurs through the legal side of building a business.  Melissa walks us through her career journey — from serving as general counsel at a billion-dollar company to starting her own law firm. Her firm is dedicated to educating entrepreneurs and getting them set up properly with things like contracts, trademarks, and business formations from the get-go. One piece of advice Melissa emphasized? Don't just operate on handshake deals with partners or clients. She's seen too many entrepreneurs come to her after issues arise because they didn't have proper documentation in place. Getting the right agreements drafted upfront can save you major headaches down the road. As a mom of three young kids, Melissa also shares her experience with entrepreneurship with a family. She emphasizes that to be successful, you need to be willing to ask for help, whether that's hiring someone or leaning on family and friends to give you a helping hand if possible. Melissa brings a wealth of knowledge not just on the legal nuances entrepreneurs should know, but also the importance of taking a proactive approach and finding balance as a parent.  Key Topics: Making the decision to go to law school  Finding a career that balances the left and right brain What happens after law school?

Maybe you used to scour Buzzfeed for new quizzes to learn what your favorite cheese says about you or perhaps took an online IQ test one too many times, there's a quiz out there for everyone wanting to learn more about themselves.    One of the most popular in the mix is Myers-Briggs, or MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). This test has been around for a while now, with many people retaking it over the years to see how their personality types have changed (if at all).    But one major advantage to this particular personality test is that it can teach us a lot about our passions, goals, and even careers. Maybe you're an ISFJ who is more introverted, but also warm and kindhearted with a desire to help others. This says a lot about the careers you not only gravitate to, but about the ones you could potentially pursue for ultimate happiness.    So this week, we're doing a little deep dive into the Myers-Briggs world to see what types of careers your personality type could unlock for you. If you don't know your personality type and want to follow along, be sure to take the test and then come back to find out what career path might be best for you.     Key Topics: What is MBTI? The 4 dichotomies of the MBTI Extrovert vs. Introvert Sensing vs. Intuition Judging vs. Perceiving The most common personality types and the careers they excel in The rarest, most contradictory personality type The highest and lowest earners by personality type The earnings potential throughout life, based on personality Take the Myers-Briggs Personality test here: https://www.16personalities.com/ Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage Website: https://www.glowstatecoach.com/ Interested in 1:1 Coaching or Hiring Courtney for a Speaking Engagement or Workshop?

In the sales community, you'll hear the phrase, "You can't teach sales" a lot. Many believe that sales is something that you either have, or you don't, and it's a matter of innate talent rather than a practiced skill.    But according to Ron Earley, that's just not true. Instead, he's built his business around teaching and mentoring others to sell confidently, even if it doesn't come naturally. Now, he has a six-figure business and the nickname "The Sales God" to prove that sales can, in fact, be taught.   In this episode, we take a deeper look into Ron's life from his rocky introduction to sales and entrepreneurship, the risky investment that changed everything for him, some of his top sales tips and strategies, and what he's up to now with Grey Wolfe Investing.    If you're an aspiring entrepreneur but the idea of sales intimidates you, this episode will give you the confidence to adopt a different mindset and jumpstart your own success story today.        Key Topics: Starting out in the fitness industry Ron's first hit-and-miss with entrepreneurship The risky investment that changed his career trajectory forever Deciding to mentor others to learn how to be successful in sales Finding the sales sweet spot within a niche Serotonin stories, dopamine stories, and endorphin stories What is FBA?

Choosing a career can be complicated. When we're young, we have our whole lives ahead of us, but that can often feel suffocating or intimidating for students who aren't sure what they want, but are being pressured to make important decisions before they're ready.    That's why our guest this week, Beth Probst, set out to change the course of career prep for teenagers for good. She saw that kids as early as middle school needed comprehensive guidance to figure out what really makes them tick and wanted to give them the tools they need to explore on their own.   In this episode, we talk about what career development tactics are actually helpful to teenagers, what kids can do to prepare for college, and how Beth's company has developed tools that actually help kids set themselves up for career success all the way through college.    If you're still in school, or a parent of a child who is starting to think about what their future will look like, this episode will give you the guidance to start preparing for the future now.     Key Topics: Using joyful exploration to help kids figure out what makes them tick Starting a career in tech as a sales engineer and moving up the corporate ladder Preparation + opportunity = luck Failure is feedback Transitioning from the safety of a stable job to entrepreneurship Getting to the core of teenagers' needs, skills, strengths, and values Hiring others to help with the work vs. doing all the work yourself The benefits of the test and learn mentality Filling the need for educational path planning for kids Kids are extremely skeptical of the value of higher education How to leave college with marketable skills that get you hired Combating career illiteracy Getting kids to be willing and open to receive guidance on career planning Internships vs. co-ops Easing the transition from college to career Connect with Beth online: Website: https://www.gettingatthecore.com/ Instagram: @gettingatthecore Linkedin (Personal): https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethprobst/ Linkedin (Business): https://www.linkedin.com/company/at-the-core-llc/ Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage Website: https://www.glowstatecoach.com/ Interested in 1:1 Coaching or Hiring Courtney for a Speaking Engagement or Workshop?

Life is full of noise from external sources — social media, friends, parents, society. It's a stressful world we live in, and one that's even harder to navigate if you're a young girl.    This week's guest, Dr. Tim Jordan, uses his pediatric medicine expertise to help girls cut through that noise to learn how to build self-trust, self-worth, and a strong intuition to guide them through life. From growing up with 5 younger sisters, he knows the expectations and struggles girls face from a very young age and has the utmost empathy for their experiences. With his wife, they run retreats for girls and families to come together and overcome the struggles that kids and families face together.    In this episode, we discuss how Dr. Tim landed in pediatric medicine, later moved to developmental and behavioral pediatrics, and finally decided to work more directly with young girls to help them make sense of their inner and outer worlds. If you're a parent, a young woman or girl, or know anybody who falls into those categories, this episode may teach you something about what it's like for girls growing up in an increasingly noisy world.     Key Topics: Growing up helping raise 5 younger sisters Knowing that working with kids was the right place for Dr. Tim Burning out in general pediatrics Focusing on helping kids to get to the root of issues that resurface in adulthood Why he decided to focus his work on young girls vs. young boys Getting to the root of emotional and familial issues How built-up feelings with no outlet cause overwhelm Emotional overwhelm is happening at younger and younger ages Childhood has become a race to the top full of parental and societal pressures Teaching parents to be better listeners Broadening the narrow mindset of which career paths lead to success You have your whole life to evolve into a lot of different things Lack of trust and self-trust in girls Establishing self-worth at a young age by quieting the outer noise Looking back at your identity capital Connect with Dr. Tim online: Website: https://drtimjordan.com/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/raising-daughters/id1159034515 Books: https://drtimjordan.com/books/ Instagram: @drtimjordan     Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage Website: https://www.glowstatecoach.com/ Interested in 1:1 Coaching or Hiring Courtney for a Speaking Engagement or Workshop?

What gets you out of bed in the morning? I'm not just talking about the little things like getting to say good morning to your kids or having that first cup of coffee when you first start your day. What really motivates you to get your butt out of bed and do something that means something to you?    In this week's solo episode, I'm starting a 10-part series where we explore topics like these through the lens of personality tests and tools that aid in career development. The first topic I'm covering is lesser known in the Western world, but is just as important to consider if you're at a turning point in your life and want to discover your passion and purpose.   The concept this week is called Ikigai (ee-key-gahy), a Japanese principle that is your reason for living. Everyone has one, and with a simple exercise that we go over in the episode, everyone can easily discover at least one thing that is their Ikigai.    Come along for this series to get practical tools and tips for finding your purpose and getting on the path to career fulfillment.   Key Topics: What is Ikigai? The 4 pillars of Ikigai and how to visualize it Digging deeper beyond the surface The 9 Ikigai verbs according to Tim Tamashiro Ikigai is a journey you can come back to over and over again Tim Tamashiro's Ikigai TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk-PcJS2QaU&ab_channel=TEDxTalks Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage Website: https://www.glowstatecoach.com/ Interested in 1:1 Coaching or Hiring Courtney for a Speaking Engagement or Workshop?

But with the right attitude and tools, the average person can turn their financial future around faster than they realize.   Annie Yang wants to challenge the stereotype that millennials must delay important milestones due to financial setbacks and teach people practical tips for saving money and staying out of debt. She doesn't tell people to just stop eating out or buying unnecessary things; she wants to reach those who might already be making those sacrifices and still struggling, because she's been there, too.    Annie has had a rollercoaster of job experience since she graduated high school and decided to delay college, but all of those experiences taught her to save up, be resourceful, and never rely on others to dictate her financial future.

When we find ourselves in a toxic workplace environment, we naturally look for relief and an escape from work stress elsewhere. People will often gravitate toward meditation, yoga, wellness retreats, or pretty much anything to take their minds off of what's happening at work.    After all, we spend the majority of our days working, commuting, and stressing about our jobs. So if that becomes toxic or unhealthy, it's normal to seek an escape. But what happens when those wellness efforts turn toxic, too?   This week, I'm exploring at what point wellness becomes toxic and how to prevent your escape from becoming more hurtful than helpful. If you've ever felt pressured by wellness trends, fad diets, or felt like your efforts are too imperfect to maintain, this episode is for you!   We all need wellness in our lives, but we don't want that to become another source of stress and discomfort. So join me to learn some ways you can achieve more balance in your life.  Key Topics: Toxic workplaces vs. toxic wellness How the wellness industry markets "relief" from unhappiness At what point does wellness become toxic? How to balance your wellness routines in a healthy way Finding joy in wellness and setting healthy boundaries Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage Website: https://www.glowstatecoach.com/   Interested in 1:1 Coaching or Hiring Courtney for a Speaking Engagement or Workshop?

We often hear the advice to follow our passions, but what if we take that a step further and unravel the unique patterns woven within those passions that drive our purpose?   In this solo episode, we're unpacking these two terms that are often used when discussing career paths and career happiness. They're similar but have very different meanings that can make or break our overall satisfaction in life.    It might sound dramatic, but you'll understand once you hear how I break down the difference between your passion and your purpose. And after we decipher the two, I'm going to teach you how to identify the patterns within your passion that will help you crystallize your purpose.   Once you know which is which and how they relate, you'll have the tools to unlock your authentic self and life a more purposeful life.

Unless you're living under a rock, you're probably aware that the fashion and beauty industries have some major issues with animal cruelty and sustainability. It's unfortunately part of the current reality behind many major fashion and beauty brands.    But fortunately for us, there are people like our guest, Suveria Mota, who are looking to change that. With a lifelong passion for fashion and shoes fueled by her parents' careers at Tiffany's and Macy's, she's putting her dreams to work to remove animal cruelty from the fashion industry.   It wasn't (and isn't) an easy dream to make a reality — she couldn't even find a shoe factory at first to produce her designs. But with tenacity and determination, she now has her own eco-friendly luxury fashion brand that she's looking to expand and compete with major fashion retailers.   Suveria's story is a fascinating example of the accidental entrepreneur that can teach us about getting over imposter syndrome and pushing for our dreams no matter what. Key Topics: Fashion has been an influence from the beginning Trying to make it in the acting business in LA The documentary that changed her outlook on fashion Identifying a gap in the market for luxury vegan footwear Receiving the first vegan shoe samples that launched her business There's no such thing as a wasted experience Why shoes?

Networking is one of those dirty words in life that always elicits eye-rolls and groans. But it remains one of the most valuable and useful ways to get into doors that might not otherwise open through traditional job applications and interviews.   While we often view networking as rubbing elbows at a dinner party or attending boring networking events, it's not always like that. More often, it's friends we meet throughout life, either through an early job, a family friend, or even a parent at our kids' school. What does remain true, however, is that the earlier we start and the more often we make those connections, the better off we are.   Meet Michelle Enjoli, a networking superstar who took her connecting and networking superpowers to a whole other level to get not just one of her dream jobs, but nearly all of them. That's right, Michelle claims that about 95% of her jobs have been through her network, which is amazing.    Whether you're 13, 30, or closer to retirement, it's never too late to hone your networking skills. So join us this week to learn how to do it and why it might just be the thing that lands you your dream job someday.    Key Topics: What we do is a huge part of who we are Dream jobs can (and do) change throughout our lifetime The importance of maintaining your native language and being bilingual if you can The responsibility of being the first gen older child in an immigrant family Wanting a job to provide for her family that she loved Securing her dream job before even graduating college Turning criticism into motivation Pivoting from TV production to doing speaking engagements for politicians and celebs 95% of career opportunities coming from networking The wake-up call of her career working at Mercedez-Benz Teaching people how to brand themselves to land new job opportunities consistently Why personal branding matters so much Defining and developing your personal brand Staying open and curious to re-evaluate your situation every few years Find more from Miichelle:   Instagram: @kelly.tolliday.yoga Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelleenjoli/ Website: https://www.michelleenjoli.com/ Instagram: @michelleenjoli Michelle's Tedx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEBAfujtmtg&ab_channel=TEDxTalks TikTok: @michelleenjoli Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage Website: https://www.glowstatecoach.com/ Interested in 1:1 Coaching or Hiring Courtney for a Speaking Engagement or Workshop?

When we're moving through life, we can't always see how our choices and life experiences are interconnected. Sometimes, the things we're doing seem so unrelated to one another that you might think it's all just a spontaneous fluke.    Other times (and usually), you can look back at your life several years down the road and see how most of the things you were doing are connected — you just didn't know it at the time.   That's how Kelly Tolliday's story unfolded. From early on, her life path was decidedly undecided, but she let her inner wisdom and a love for adventure guide her through life to where she is now. From taking a chance on love in her early 20s and moving to the other side of the world to now starting her own yoga retreat business, everything she did in between these milestones all had their perfect place to lead her to where she is today.    If your path looks more like a winding rollercoaster, or even a knotted up ball of yarn, than a straight line, this episode is for you. Kelly's story will inspire anyone who has taken more than a few twists, turns, and detours through their career and life journey to keep at it. The Golden Thread that connects it all will be so clear farther down the path.     Key Topics: How podcasting fulfilled her childhood radio DJ dreams Choosing a college major after starting out undecided Following love to Australia and choosing to start her career there Society doesn't support winding career paths, but they're still okay Becoming self-taught in the marketing industry The importance of a strong partnership in entrepreneurship How travel became woven into Kelly's being How to travel with young children Deciding to come back to the states with her partner Getting clients as a young woman with no experience Yoga Kelly vs. Marketing Kelly The Golden Thread that connects all of her modalities together Retreats encourage people to travel on their own and rejuvenate Falling in love with yoga The behind the scenes of planning retreats The magic of Costa Rica  Find more from Kelly:   Instagram: @kelly.tolliday.yoga @risingnatureretreats Website: https://www.hellotruenature.com/ Transform with Travel Podcast: https://transform-with-travel.captivate.fm/   Other offerings: linktr.ee/risingnatureretreats Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage Website: https://www.glowstatecoach.com/ Interested in 1:1 Coaching or Hiring Courtney for a Speaking Engagement or Workshop?

Negotiations are a regular part of life. But much like public speaking, it can be so nerve-wracking to do, no matter how many times you do it. It's a delicate art that can become a high-stakes back-and-forth, depending on who you're dealing with.    But what many people often get wrong about negotiating is that it's not like it is in the movies. At least, not usually.    This week's guest, Dorothy Mashburn, is here to teach us what negotiating is really like and why women are actually at an advantage when they step up to the negotiation table. In her experience, women have negotiation superpowers that make them more attuned to achieving a favorable outcome — whether it's negotiating salary, a pay raise, the price of a house…anything you can think of!    So tune in to hear how Dorothy got inspired to enter the world of negotiations and how she helps women discover their superpowers and stand up for what they know they're worth.  Key Topics: A negotiation coach on a mission to close the gender pay gap worldwide Growing up in India and transitioning into life in the US How a job at Walmart helped her get her career started The cultural expectations that impacted her life decisions The advantages of integrating into a new culture Discovering the US isn't as equal as she thought Negotiation is in everything we do The biggest setback women face in negotiations Negotiations aren't like we see in the movies Cutting through the masculine aura around negotiation and business How women can leverage their femininity in negotiations Knowing your audience and being adaptable to them Women's best weapon is our drive to advocate for others Believing we're worth more Find more from Dorothy:   Website: https://www.dorothymashburn.com/ Salary Negotiations Made Simple Podcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dorothy-mashburn/ Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage Website: https://www.glowstatecoach.com/ Interested in 1:1 Coaching or Hiring Courtney for a Speaking Engagement or Workshop?
