78: Finding Alignment, Understanding Priorities & Taking Control of Your Goals

Embracing Only: Workplace Culture & Career Development for BIPOC Leaders

Episode Highlight: On this episode of the "Embracing Only" podcast, we are doing another real talk and we have some spicy topics to get into. Olivia recently held a workshop with some women leaders who wanted to understand how to win in the workplace. Three themes kept on coming up - getting clarity on what you want, getting comfortable talking about money, and not waiting to be tapped.

Key Discussion Points:

00:57 Finding Alignment: Are you doing what you’re doing because it aligns with your values and goals or are you doing it because other people think you should or someone told you you couldn’t?

07:47 Understanding Your Priorities: Your life should not only be about work. If you find the rest of your life responsibilities are neglected, you are in misalignment.

16:10 Talk About Money: Many women have a fear of money. It is essential to know how much money you need to live your ideal life and not just scrape by.

21:07 Taking Control of Your Goals: Stop waiting to be tapped. Know what you want, drive towards your goals, and take the reins of your career.

24:53 Thriving Despite the Statistics: Stop listening to the statistics telling you that you can’t reach your goals. You can thrive, but you have to be willing to put in the work.

In Summary: Archita and Olivia challenge us to get clarity on what we want, understand our priorities, get comfortable talking about money, and stop waiting to be recognized for our brilliance.
