Leaning in is so last century. Don't Lean In, Look Up!


I had the huge pleasure of speaking to Dr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer, and boy did we cover some ground!


Cynthia has oodles of leadership experience and she generously shares her experience and tips across a range of subjects:
• Dealing with bullies and flirts (my particular fave)
• The importance of sponsors, particularly male sponsors
• Becoming an exporter of talent
• Putting you and your aspirations out there
• Asserting boundaries
• How to intentionally pursuing your 'Next' by looking up rather than keeping your head down and focussing on the job in hand
Cynthia has co-authored a book entitled "Now, Near, Next: A Practical Guide for Mid-Career Women to Move from Professional Serendipity to Intentional Advancement" which launches March 18th. Listen to the podcast and mark the date!

You can pre-order the book on Amazon already
