We know that women are socialized to be attentive and inclusive of those around us. And we also know that being so often means being not seen as leaders, passed up for promotions and being denied credit for our work. In this episode, Gloria offers concrete examples of how being too nice works against us, and provides actionable tips for being “authentic, kind, and respectful in your communications” without descending into Niceness Hell.

Maybe the current crisis has given you time to reflect, to reconnect to your deepest desires about what you want in your life and who you want to me—are meant to be. But the path forward might not be so clear. Let Gloria guide you through the initial process of pivoting with power to the next iteration of yourself. She also reveals a new Power Tool she’s been developing in her series for intentional leadership and living.

Taking a cue from Joe Biden’s public announcement that he will select a woman as a VP candidate if he is his party’s nominee, Gloria takes a closer look at how someone might get herself ready to be selected for a major leadership role in any organization. She invites us to consider: how does one position oneself to be tapped by others who see your talent and want to help you move forward? How does one break through the barrier of otherness, of not being like or looking like the people that we have always seen in that seat?

This week, most of the country is social distancing and trying to find ways to cope with the disruption of almost everything about our lives, so Gloria wanted to offer practical and inspirational ways to be helpful, involved, even creative as COVID-19 continues to make headlines around the world.
