Alessandra Wall, Ph.D. - C-Suite Women's Coach’s Post

Have you ever found yourself repeating a pattern that you desperately want to break from? - How often do you set limits? - Who pushes back? - Who do you give into? - Do you feel guilty even though your expectations and boundaries are reasonable? As a psychologist, I easily recognize and manage these patterns. I don't sit with the guilt very long. I certainly don't let it undermine my boundaries. But what if you don't have my training? How much, or how little, pressure would it take for you to compromise your boundaries? #newsletter #boundaries #leadership #executivecoaching #executivewoman

Do you feel guilty about wanting more money? Do you care about money? Want to make the most you can? Of course, you do! So why do so many women at the executive level still feel guilty admitting this? Getting paid well for the value you bring means: 🌧️ Peace of mind when the economy slows down and rolling layoffs pick up 🏖️ Freedom to work, vacation, AND retire on your terms.⛩️ 🏡 Coming back to the home of your dreams after a long day's work🏡,  👵🏽 Taking care of your parents after they've taken such good care of you.  👩🏻🎓 Helping your children start adulthood debt-free and trips of a lifetime. 💰 Hiring the right healthcare provider, physical trainer, reiki master, and executive coach when you need it Building the courage and skillset to master critical conversations of any kind (including money conversations) pays off. It has less to do with having the right script and much more to do with having the right level of confidence in your value and your ability to articulate it. Ready to challenge your preconceived notions about your value and the money you're worth? Jump on a 20-minute call with me. I promise you a powerful shift, a fun conversation, and some major insights about what you deserve and how to go about getting it. #courage #noteworthywomen #executivewomen #negotiationstrategies

🧢It's baseball season and this is what it looks like to go to bat for women! ⚾   FACT: #sponsorship is the single most important factor associated with success for women in senior leadership (per the World Economic Forum, McKinsey, and Wharton School of Business)   Sponsorship, the act of “going to bat” for a rising leader, is the highest form of social capital.    Sponsors elevate visibility, make critical connections, and accelerate the careers of women in leadership by quickly growing their social capital.   Strategically growing their social capital and sponsors is the fastest way, senior executive women   Get invited to crucial conversations that shape their industries Find new opportunities and build lucrative partnerships in high-stakes challenging markets Build consensus and relationships with key decision-makers Gain support for their ideas in men-dominated spaces   For women: finding a sponsor is just as critical as becoming one (when you are ready).   For a leading company in a high-stakes high-impact industry: building networks of allies & sponsors for your executive is the key to their success and yours.   Ready to get the recipe for success for Senior executive women?

Boss & B**ch shouldn't be synonymous for women in leadership Yet, somehow it's still a huge concern for strong, direct, women who are passionate about moving the needle and eager to get things done. Here's my theory as to why that is: As little girls, we might be told we can be anything we want to be, but there are caveats around that. We also have to be nice, helpful, humble, collaborative, kind, and always pleasant and likeable. By adulthood, all this conditioning to sweet and pleasant (on the surface benign, maybe even positive qualities) translates to something altogether less valuable in adulthood:   Helpful ➡️ Self sacrificing   Humble ➡️ Self-effacing   Collaborative ➡️ Your needs always come last   Kind ➡️ Giving to the point of exhaustion   Pleasant ➡️ Passive   Likeable ➡️ Conflict avoidant Adult women, and especially women in leadership are told that we have a right - even an incentive - to be strong, assertive, and powerful.     Women who try to embody these leadership qualities challenge the STATUS QUO.     But here's the catch - because these "leadership qualities" we're told we need to embody to have authority and success aren't what little girls or big boys have been conditioned to expect from women. Suddenly she's the boss, becomes she a b**ch. FACT - You can't lead effectively without conviction, strength, assertiveness, or the confidence to stand in your authority. FACT - there is a VERY specific way women have to approach these qualities if you want to actually benefit from them. At Noteworthy we've specialized in elevating senior executive women to show up powerfully, lead with authority, build massive impact, and still feel excited and joyous about their careers. My San Diego Women's Week 2024 was on UNLEASHING AUTHORITY AS A WOMAN IN MALE DOMINATED INDUSTRIES.

Are you wasting time trying to fit someone else's definition of a woman in leadership? I was a 26 y.o. when I became a Psychologist. I was much younger than my peers. I worried about being taken seriously - so I became "DOC-tor Wall!" (say it right)    Dr. Wall dressed in conservative sweater sets.     She pulled back her hair and reigned in her naturally effusive & opinionated self.     She was a blank slate; every bit the psychologist stereotype.     Being Dr. Wall was…exhausting.     And worse, she wasn't attracting the types of people I wanted to work with. I was less effective, less happy, and probably less successful as Dr. Wall. All that changes; it had to! You CANNOT build real impact or become truly influential until you show up as yourself, and give (and get!) value. Adapting my work style and approach to who I am (and not the other way around) made me happier, and more effective.  The minute I defined what right for me looked like and gave myself permission to show up as myself and ask for what I needed was the moment I started building lasting and fulfilling success. I've created several tools & systems to help leading women define and own the terms of their careers. One of those systems is the Unforgettable process. Use it to own & share your highest and most compelling value so you can:  ** Walk into any room in front of any audience and confidently articulate who you are and what you bring to the table.   ** Communicate your impact to your teams, clients, and managers.  **  Own your authority and build impact around things that matter to you.   ** Gain the trust and respect of others because you show up at your best You can download that process. I would also recommend that you watch the LinkedIn Learning course that accompanies it.

A big thank you to Shirin Alipanah for submitting me for an interview with SHOUTOUT SOCAL. I got to answer a few good questions, including one about "truths" that I don't buy into, and where I'd take as someone who was coming to San Diego for the first time. #sandiego #inthenews #noteworthywomen #sisterhood https://lnkd.in/gt94EswV

Just a few seconds can make all the difference - here's how. Today, I wanted to share the most powerful and life-changing action you can tkae to reduce stress, level up executive presence, make better decisions, communicate powerfully, and just live better. When you read it, you're not going to believe it. It'll seem too simple, and yet... I've used this strategy with patients who were burdened by crippling anxiety and depression. We practiced it with senior leaders who needed to up their executive presence to command the attention of a room. I use it daily to make better decisions. And to this very day, it's the #1 thing I have clients practice when they're on the brink of being overwhelmed or burnt out.

Let's correct a common misconception Elite executive coaching is not for people who need fixing. It's for leaders at the top of their game who reach higher and expect more of life and work. Noteworthy coaching is not designed to help someone make up a deficit. I work with highly successful humans who want to stay at the top of their game, make massive impacts, operate in high-stress situations, and still love their work and life outside the office. The majority of my clients have worked with me for years, not because they have "so much to fix" but because they are ridiculously ambitious, always improving on themselves, reaching for bigger impacts and greater reach. Curious about what massive impacts and loving work and & life could look like for you? Let's jump on a quick call, To start, I've got 5 questions to get you thinking about your career in a completely different way. #ceo #womeninleadership #executivecoaching #womeninSTEM #womeninfinance

It’s not much of a secret, but just in case you didn’t know…   ** What's the difference between a failing and a thriving business?   ** How do you find a great job in a tight market?    ** What's the secret to unlocking results faster and successfully reaching your objectives with fewer challenges?    The answer to all three is the same - your connections?    Social capital is the sum total of all potential opportunities that come from the relationships you form and the trust you build within those relationships    ** My coaching business went from making low 5 figures in revenue a year to a multi-6-figure business once I learned how to network and build relationships with both potential clients and people who wanted to introduce me to clients.    ** My client S was out of work for a year until I convinced her to tap into her personal network and let them know in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS what kind of role she was looking for and that their connections were the key to her success.   ** The incredible folks at Impendi want to build better opportunities and grow their impact and success as they join Accenture - the secret? Build stronger better networks with their now larger community of colleagues. Which is why they brought me in to talk about best practices for strategic networking.   What opportunities are you trying to unlock in your career and for your company? Still, think hard work and the right skills set is the key to success? You're working 3x as hard for a fraction of the results.   I love teaching smart professionals better ways to succeed.
