Podcast Episode #41: "The Impact of Digital Storytelling in Tech" - An Interview with Gail Mercer-MacKay

storytelling Mar 06, 2020

The Impact of Digital Storytelling in Tech

Gail Mercer-MacKay is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of The Women in Technology Network. In this interview, Gail and Sheryl talk about her transformation from making “fear-based decisions” to next-leveling her life and making an impact.

Additionally, Gail launched a new planning/preparation software app in the Microsoft Cloud that empowers the 3,000+ Microsoft Partners to build amazing submissions (digital storytelling) to win a Microsoft Partner of the Year Award. If you’re a woman in business and are thinking “I’d like to grow my business and take advantage of technology… I am wondering if I can build something in the cloud but don’t know where to start.”

The Microsoft Partner Program is the place to go because it’s much simpler these days to take process, IP and thought leadership and turn it into an application. Gail launched her new app from start to finish in just 8 weeks....

Wisdom Gained and Lessons Learned in January

Wisdom Gained and Lessons Learned in January

Sometimes trying to evolve into the best version of ourselves means we have to get downright uncomfortable... sometimes emerging victorious and sometimes not.

I’ve got some great nuggets of wisdom to share from an incredible January 2020, as well as a colossal failure that I hope we can all be inspired by and learn from! 

January 14-20, 2020:

I headed to San Diego to drop off my daughter Megan at Kerry and Colin Smith's Journey Retreat. Megan is 20 years old, a total rockstar student and all around human being who happens to struggle with severe anxiety at times. Kerry is a colleague of mine, and my husband and I have been through her program. It’s intense, and I worried a little (ok a lot) if the baby in the family could or would not want to handle it. Megan went, rocked it and is forever changed with new life changing tools to manage her anxiety, be happier and ready for her next chapter: transferring colleges...

The Impact of Full Presence (May Surprise You!)

The Impact of Full Presence (May Surprise You!)

On a scale of 1-10...

... how do you rate yourself on how present you are with those who matter the most?

Despite running hard at their dreams, high performers are remarkably present, especially with those who matter the most. Let’s not wait until tragedy strikes until we realize we should be more present... or worse yet, to lose the opportunity to be present and then have to live with that regret.

Here are a couple ways to take your presence to the next level, so you can make others feel seen, heard and cared for:

  1. Put down everything you are doing, and look into their eyes
  2. Be explicit and tell the person "I really want to hear you"
  3. Hug the person or say goodbye like you may never see them again. 

Full presence elicits emotions in others that helps them feel safe, heard and cared for. It will in turn help you to be congruent with who you are and how you’d like to be remembered. 

We are all busy chasing...

Do you ever get distracted and veer from what’s most important?

Podcast Episode #38: "The Local and Global Impact of Equality in the Workplace" - An Interview with Dr. Kellie McElhaney

The Local and Global Impact of Equality in the Workplace

Equality in the workplace reaches far beyond a paycheck, and there is a massive upside for everyone if we can start to aggressively close the gap, sooner rather than later. Watch my interview with distinguished professor at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business and founder of the Center for Equity, Gender and Leadership, Dr. Kellie McElhaney as we discuss this important topic.

Here Are a Couple of the Main Take-Aways and Action Items:

  1. Next level equity in the workplace will require next level courage for members of dominant groups.
  2. There is not a level playing field for all women in the workplace, so 'gender equity' is incomplete and inaccurate.
  3. One thing that can be done is for members of dominant groups to actively seek out members from non-dominant groups and ask what they need and listen.
  4. Members of non-dominant groups can continue to ask for help to articulate what they need.

How to Get Clear on Your Work-Life Counterbalance Plan

How to Get Clear on Your Work-Life Counterbalance Plan

Have you ever tried to balance your work, personal wellness and family... and felt like you are coming up short?

Work-life balance, based on what I’ve experienced and heard from thousands of ambitious women, is a myth that only makes those who chase it feel frustrated and mediocre. Our lives are not perfectly balanced all the time, and sometimes we must swing one way or the other. There are times when our relationships or personal wellness require more of us, and times when we need to allot more time to work. Let’s decide AND give ourselves permission to make shifts, so we can achieve that next level of ambition and joy that you want and deserve... both at work and at home. The idea behind work-life counterbalance is to get more intentional about what matters most and then get clear on how to create a counterbalance that works for you. 

Here are a few tips:

  1. First Assess How You Define Your Best Self.
