The cycles of life are part of many aspects of our lives, including our careers. The season of Autumn is all about receiving and celebrating our growth, achievements, and wins. But as a high achiever, how good are you at taking the time to savor your win? I pray my testimony about my business Elan Image Management inspires you to savor your successes more intentionally.

Career Transitions are part of the changing cycles of life. But if the career you’re leaving behind is one you loved it can be very painful. This is tennis star and icon Serena Williams’ testimony as she announces her upcoming retirement in September’s Vogue cover story from a sport that defined her for most of her life. Here are a few lessons we can all take away from her story.

In the in-between timeline that is a transition, you’re typically letting go of something old, and moving forward with something new. Release and shed the old and fully step into the infinite possibilities of the new so you can set yourself up for career success.

When we immerse ourselves in environments or experiences that allow us to play with possibility, our perspective expands. We become aware and attune to so much more, which makes more available to us.

We are each equipped with an intuition that is potent, trustworthy, and aligned with our truth. But it’s our choice to value and leverage it as the superpower it is. What would it look like if you did?

This summer, I invite you to recharge, renew, and regroup by unplugging for a weekend, a week, or more. In these challenging times, your self-care needs to be prioritized so that you can return with the replenishment you need to make your impact.

So much of what I do as the Brilliance Unveiler is reminding women of their magnificence, of their vision for their career in those moments when things are tough, when they are overwhelmed or off-track, when they feel ill-equipped or unqualified to bring their vision to fruition. Here’s why you shouldn’t climb your career mountain alone.

To get to your appointed Do, you need to do the work required on your Who. As a high-achieving woman, you want stuff to happen, NOW. You want to get to the steps so you can take the actions and get busy with your Do. The truth is that most change is an inner game—it's the Work on the Who. Here’s why that matters to your impact.

I get very jazzed about helping women with their career transition, leaps, pivots, or reinvention. I know the power in our stories so in this post I share a very fast-tracked version of my professional journey to make a point about pivoting. My biggest lesson? Don’t go it alone.

When you blaze a new trail, you have the authority and influence to turn around and light the way for the other women behind you, who found their purpose on your trail. If you believe that every woman is meant to shine in her brilliance by bringing her unique gifts to the fore, also believe that you may be that “First,” to help her see what is possible for her.

Your boundaries help you to maintain healthy connections with others and also help you stay connected to yourself safely and healthily. You can't truly show up for others unless you show up for yourself first. Here are a few ways to engage in self-care this Valentine’s Day!

High achieving women are naturally hardwired to work hard. They willingly devote hours and energy to their role and take satisfaction in being productive. Just the act of completing tasks fulfills them. But as much as they do, these leaders are woefully inadequate in acknowledging their wins. Here’s why that matters.

The pandemic helped us see and understand at a deeper level that without a sense of purpose, meaning and value, our work cannot fulfill us and make the impact we long for. I believe it’s time for all of us to take the reins of our careers and lives as we navigate uncertainty and pivots that are the new normal right now. If not now, when?

When we claim our gifts and talents and fully believe in our potential, we can stand tall and secure in our value and share our brilliance with the world, making our full impact. But sometimes we are the biggest barriers to our blessings. It’s our openness to the possibilities that unveils the opportunities that connect with our brilliance! Embrace possibilities in 2022!
