A study of women leaders: The average age of women who breakthrough corporate glass ceilings and launch successful businesses is 42. Everyone's rushing to climb the corporate ladder early, but shouldn't be. Here's the raw truth: 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲. My clients are not starting over.

I have hosted 4 corporate workshops in the past 4 months. It doesn't seem like much, especially on LinkedIn standards... But if you're juggling different projects like I am, 4 corporate workshops in 4 months might be your goal - So here are my learnings so far 👇 → Don't be afraid to promote yourself. Show what you have to offer with confidence! → Set your own standards. How many workshops can you deal with per month, and what is a good workshop for you? → Remind yourself that you started from 0. I always think 'Ugh this is not enough'. But I forget that I started from nothing, so having people call me back every month is a big step forward! → Celebrate the small wins. My wins this month: having a woman come back because she liked my previous workshop. And also, getting to coach really cool women in leading positions! 💬 What type of workshops do you deliver? Comment in case someone interested sees it ;) --- I'm Giulia, I am on a mission to help women become shamelessly confident with anxiety & stress management. Here's how I can help: - I opened the waitlist for my new blueprint, check it out and share (https://lnkd.in/emYRZeYN)

Confidence is contagious. True or false? When women project confidence, they inspire trust and instill confidence in others, whether it's clients, colleagues, team members, kids, adults, or anyone they talk to. This ripple effect can have a tremendous impact on the organization as a whole, starting by creating a positive work environment where individual empowerment leads to thriving teams and happy clients. It’s also a game-changer for career progression! Nothing says “I’m a great choice for this job” than a confident woman. When someone exudes confidence in their abilities, ideas, and decisions, it sends a signal to those around them that says, "I believe in myself, and you can too." Am I right? This subtle yet potent message has a profound impact on where you work, how you work, and with whom you work. So, no more hiding your confidence, ok? It’s time to let it out - in FULL force. Tell me, what part of you are you MOST confident about at work? 

When you boldly explore your periphery, Collect and combine new perspectives in new ways, You grow. Your business is stronger. Your industry transforms. And... Your future is limitless. Words I live by. Words I share with audiences and clients. Words I carefully crafted to embolden people toward growth and innovation. In case I haven't been clear about how to explore your periphery ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗘𝗬𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡! Otherwise, you are not exploring. Nor are you seeking new perspectives. You're shooting in the dark, hoping to hit something. And you end up learning nothing. Wasting precious time. Like the woman who sent me the following message via InMail: "...𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘐'𝘮 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘺 𝘰𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘴." She now knows I am not a woman. She is also not interested in my opinion. She wants to sell me coaching for powerhouse women. This message is similar to the ones I've received from men: "... 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘐, 𝘚𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦, 𝘏𝘙 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵..."  𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘴! These unwanted but amusing distractions help me make a point. When you explore your periphery with your eyes WIDE OPEN, The insights you gain will compound dramatically. You realize that anything is possible. And... You will likely find me in the periphery, too. It's my favorite hangout. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘂𝗻𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀? Until next time...

The first time I ran an online masterclass, it took me hours of research and messing around to get the tech to do exactly what we wanted. Today, it took me about 15min.  And then I took this picture and added it to my 'masterclass tech notes' so that next time it will take me 5. I don't love being my own IT support, but I am getting better at it! Why am I sharing this? Because I believe in celebrating wins (big and small). This very simple act helps us to build confidence and resilience for the future, when perhaps things aren't quite aligning with our expectations. 👏𝗦𝗼 𝗴𝗼 𝗼𝗻, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆?👏 LMK in the comments. (And clearly, it does not need to be a big one!)

My mother gave me this advice in my teenage years, and my life and career would have looked completely different otherwise ⤵️ That it’s okay to just be. That your value doesn’t lie in your achievements. That it’s not about always being stressed to the max and working harder. Instead, focus on making smart decisions and taking the time to ENJOY life. I now realize, as an adult, that it’s rare to have been programmed with a message like this. Sometimes, even I find myself slipping back into those patterns. When you’re close to reaching a business goal, and you think, “Next month, I’ll do the same thing but push a little harder!” You’re tempted to stay up a little later at night because “you just have to.” But then I’m reminded of the truth: How will working harder lead to a NEW result? New results come from smart decisions and creative ideas, not from doing the same thing harder. And smart decisions and ideas often come when you relax. When you take the time to THINK about your vision, rather than staying constantly busy with endless action. That’s why I calmly spend about an hour a day on “non-action” activities, focusing on visualizing my goals and shifting my self-image, knowing that this is the most important thing I do all day. This is what will lead me to my vision, not squeezing in even more action. I’m so grateful my mum raised me to have this mindset. Now I want to inspire women to not just think this sounds good in theory but to actually apply this & let go of “working harder” to the point where they sacrifice their well-being (and their potential new results). Have you tried the method of ”working harder” to reach your goal and are ready to try something new?

Building Trust Is the 🔑 to Everything For women like us—high-achieving, driven, and juggling ALL the things—trust isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s the foundation. 🌀Without trust, every decision feels like a gamble. 🌀Without trust, you second-guess yourself constantly. 🌀Without trust, you’re running on empty trying to prove your worth. But what happens when you DO trust yourself? ✨ You make decisions with clarity and confidence. ✨ You stop chasing external validation and start owning your brilliance. ✨ You become the leader your family, team, or community needs you to be. Here’s the truth: Trust isn’t built overnight. And it also isn’t as complicated as we often make it. This week, try this: 1️⃣Keep a promise to yourself. Whether it’s a workout, a pause, or saying “no” to something that drains you. 2️⃣Say what you mean. Speak with the integrity and power you’re known for. 3️⃣Ask for help. Trust starts with being vulnerable enough to receive support. Your self-trust is the key to how others will trust you too. It’s the energy you carry, the message you embody, and the ripple effect you create. So, what’s ONE thing you’ll do this week to build trust with yourself or those you lead? Which will you do this week? Share below 👇
