We’ve had an eventful January in the Pestikas household. Our family is in full swing again between kids in activities, post-holiday parties (yes, that’s a thing), and more. But you know what? I love the start of the new year. It’s a new chapter with a clean white page with fresh opportunities. What about you? How has your new year started?
I had a great conversation with my guest today, Susan Mackenty Brady. Susan is an expert in helping women excel in leadership, no matter what their career levels. Susan is also a wealth of knowledge in managing our inner critics, which is something we all struggle with at one point in our lives.
During my conversation with Susan, we discussed:
- Susan’s experience and what led to the writing of her book, Arrive and Thrive: 7 Impactful Practices for Women Navigating Leadership
- Susan’s thoughts on finding the best version of yourself through awareness and your response to it
- Susan mentioned a few of the practices from her book that can help women
- What stops women from really flourishing in leadership roles
- We also touched on Susan’s work with the inner critic and her books on the subject, including Mastering the Inner Critic and the 30-Second Guide to Coaching Our Inner Critic.
