We women are often blocked when it comes to asking for what we want.

This holds true even when it comes to asking for additional training at work. Maybe you were taught to be polite and to go for what you want – but only if you weren't too demanding? As women ... how do we best to conform to that? Ring a bell?

No matter what skill or new tool I am working on, I am becoming a more empowered of a leader when I ask for support ... and influence others based on what I've learned.

Improving our skills and being exposed to new ideas not only makes us better at our jobs but makes us happier and more engaged at work and life.

This is also true if you are struggling on the work-life balance beam.

I totally understand that it can be tough to find the time and resources for anything that seems selfishly just for you, let alone for your own personal development (If you are a parent, I get it... it is tough!). But I encourage you to stay the course, tap into your wants – and then go for it!

In this episode I will help you with some simple tips to keep you on track to being a leader, but one pre-requisite is: give yourself permission.
