You’ve known about the glass-ceiling for years. The difficulty you’ve faced to advance your professional career as a woman, or an ethnic minority wasn’t your imagination. Getting into a senior position may be difficult, but it’s far from impossible.
Today’s guest, Jocelyn King, is an impact life coach with a senior executive background from Silicon Valley. Among numerous accolades, she’s been voted a Top 10 Woman in Cybersecurity. Jocelyn coaches and inspires people to live their life better on purpose.
“I had to learn how to overcome the fears and limitations that I was primarily putting on myself.” -Jocelyn King
Jocelyn has had such an impressive career, and yet in spite of her success, she’s still had to overcome the fears and limitations she placed on herself. We all have struggles both internally and externally that we have to overcome to learn how to break through the glass ceiling and become movers and shakers.
Ideas we discuss for breaking through the glass ceiling:
What it means to be movers, shakers and glass-ceiling breakers
Being in the room where decisions are made
Breaking your own limitations
Jocelyn has a very logical and direct approach to employment and climbing the corporate ladder that really resonates with me. You have to understand that there are conversations taking place with or without you. Rather than be angry and feeling victimized, take her tips and strategies to get in the room so that new roles are created for you instead.
“If you apply for a position that’s already posted, it’s too late.” -Jocelyn King
