The formula for women's success isn't what you've been told. It's not your title, your salary, or your track record. It's your status — how much others respect and value you. And the way women build it is completely different from what most of us have been taught.

This Is Woman's Work with Nicole KalilCLASSIC EPISODE: Be A Likeable Badass with Alison FragaleWe explore a common paradox in this episode (and I’ll be up front that this is one I’ve struggled with for most of my career) – and that is, being a likeable badass.
How can we be both liked as a person and respected for our success? How do we get the recognition, negotiate for our value, and create opportunities without our peers or colleagues seeing us as cold, calculating or selfish? How do we create and leverage power and status as women, if we feel icky about the words power and status?

Mirror Mirror with Amy ChangThe Status Game: How Presentation Shapes Who Gets Ahead with Alison FragaleFive years ago I made a few TikToks where I leaned hard into self-deprecating humor — playing into every stereotype I thought my audience already had about me. Vain. Superficial. Not that smart. They went viral. Millions of views. So I did it again. And again. For four years. It worked. I built a large audience on it. And I was exhausted from shrinking myself into a box that had almost nothing to do with who I actually am.

Career Blast in a HalfStop Being the "B Word": The Science of Status and Influence | Alison Fragale (Recast)Do you believe that to be a badass, you also have to be the "B-word"—that you cannot be effective and liked at the same time?

But power and status are not the same thing; power is what you control, but status is how much you are respected. And in the long run, resources follow respect.
