A lot has happened over the past 18 months since the start of COVID-19. We (Debrah and Beth) came together to co-found Inspire Mindset MD. We launched our successful online course, Confidence for Professional Women and Podcast, Women with Confidence! We have learned so much through our weekly interactions with women who strive to be the best they can be.

More recently, we have decided to pursue our individual passions.

Debrah has launched She Knows shiFt (www.sheknowsshiFt.com), which incorporates Executive Coaching, consulting, and workshops focused on successful career transitions! Subscribe to her new Podcast, She Knows shiFt, where she will be interviewing successful professional women who have navigated career transitions on their own terms! Learn practical tips to assist you in knowing your shiFt!

Beth is continuing to incorporate her expertise around women with confidence into her Executive Coaching business (www.accessvita.com), where she aims to support medical leaders in their pursuit of inclusive workspaces.

We hope you will continue to follow us, and of course, you can still access our successful online course, Confidence for Professional Women, at www.empoweringwomenprofessionals.com.

We are excited to have you join us at www.empoweringwomenprofessionals.com where you can access our complementary downloadable, The Six Derailers of Confidence.

Use Frameworks to support your confidence! Today I am speaking with Dr. Marcia Clark, orthopedic surgeon and Health Tech Advisor about how she has used skills from her surgical career to support her confidence as she transitions into the space of supporting women in Tech.

Although she feels less comfortable in this space, she has used the RISE Framework to support her transition and interactions with those who have worked in this field for significantly longer. Both fields are male-dominated and she has risen to the challenge to support other women in navigating success in this arena. She speaks to the importance of the professional networks she has intentionally developed to support her success and that of others. In fact, she refers to herself as a network weaver. 

Join Debrah as she speaks with Dr. Marcia Clark, orthopedic surgeon and Health Tech Advisor. You can reach Marcia at https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcia-clark-67827521/.

Celebration is the key to success!

The topic of celebration is one that I have been thinking a lot about lately. Is celebrating just a waste of time or are there proven benefits? What is the relationship to empowered performance and building confidence? How might you celebrate your successes? Many of you may be thinking that this sounds like just another ‘to do’ item on a long list of things that seem more important.

I’m here to tell you that celebrating is one of the most important ways of empowering your performance and being recognized for all the great things you do! There is even evidence that celebrating can promote happiness and result in the actual release of ‘happy chemicals’ in your brain! Who wouldn’t want that?

Celebrating can be as simple as taking a few minutes for self-care or developing a practice of gratitude for what you have achieved and what you are going to do in the future. Celebrate in whatever way suits you best! Just do it!
