It's a one-sided door... You need to have those people on the other side who can grab that handle, push it down, and pull that door open for you, which is perception.\" — Nicole Trick Steinbach\nIn this episode of the Celebrate Brave Podcast, I dive into the career shift from a senior functional role to a leadership position. Whether you're already at the senior level and want to step into leadership, just starting out and aiming for executive roles, or are already in a leadership position and want to help others make the transition, this episode is for you.\nI discuss the shift in focus from performance to perception as you progress in your career, emphasizing the importance of who knows about you and the perception they have of you. I use the metaphors of elevators and a one-sided door to illustrate the need for networking, building a board of advisors, and nurturing relationships to open doors to leadership opportunities.\nTune in to learn more about this career transition and the steps you can take to make it happen. And remember, we need more women in leadership to make a positive impact in all industries. So go out there and celebrate your brave journey to senior-level and above careers! \nKey topics from this episode:\nTransitioning from Senior Functional Level to Leadership\nShifting Focus from Performance to Perception\nTwo Metaphors for Career ProgressionHigh-rise building with staged elevators \nOne-sided door that looks like a wall \nThe importance of having people on the other side who can provide perception-based opportunitiesBoard of Advisors for career progression\nInterest interviews and conferences as networking opportunities\n \nResources: \nE66: Clarity - Board of Advisors:  https://pod.link/1563427212/episode/b7d6c0be41feb0a8b43c2a458c0dbc1b\nE72: Momentum - Interest Interviews:  https://pod.link/1563427212/episode/1738460e0634934d10f532eea769e07d \n \nFor more information on how you can build your...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ZAPWxN_LMHdnz5w5SiJOoBH806j-O4J313kixLNknDk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84MjBi/ZTIzMzQwMDdiNjVk/MDM2OGRhODk0NDBm/Mjk4MS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
