About Be Business Savvy - Create a Career that Soars!
How do I grow in my career? What’s the key to greater confidence? How can I speak up with authority?
Your host, Susan Colantuono, has helped women at all levels, from most industries and from around the world answer all these questions. But the answers she’s found aren’t what you will expect. And as you might know from her viral TED Talk (over 4.5 million views) the answers lie in the career advice that you probably didn’t get.
Now, Susan’s sharing this key that unlocks the power of conventional advice to women AND goes far beyond typical career success tips for womenm. The key turns flawed advice into fabulous. It’s the advice that women regularly tell her they wish they had heard much earlier in their careers.
If you:
- Have ever felt like your career is languishing while men around you progress.
- Have big dreams, but aren’t sure how to realize them.
-Want your work to feel less stressful and your workload less overwhelming.
- Have ever wished to speak up with greater authority, feel more confident, be seen as a stronger leader or as having executive presence.
You’ll find answers every Wednesday when Susan shares her perfectly helpful, and imperfectly created micro (but mighty) podcast. In 10 minutes or less you'll hear actionable tips, mindset advice and strategies to create a career that soars while feeling more at ease, energized and confident.
Prepare to walk away from every episode equipped to take action. Because you will have the one key to rule them all.
Helen Jonsen, founder of Helen Jonsen Media, shares practical media coaching tips on authentic storytelling, signature remarks, and vocal technique, empowering professional women to own their message and create a lasting impact.
