A Working Mom’s Guide to Getting Unstuck
Marin Mommies presents a sponsored article from Lia Garvin, speaker, organizational consultant, coach, and author of the book Unstuck: Reframe your thinking to free yourself from the patterns and people that hold you back.
Who else grew up hearing the saying “good work gets noticed” or “keep your head down”... only to find your work definitely did not get noticed, and keeping your head down didn’t result in being tapped for exciting new opportunities. Instead, you felt like your work didn’t get the visibility it deserved or that you were moving at the pace you wanted to in your career.
As women, we’ve heard it all. Be nice but not a pushover, be smart but not a show-off, be accomplished but not intimidating. We’ve grown up listening to so many contradictions and double standards that by the time we enter the workforce we feel like we’re too much and not enough of everything all at the same time. What works in one situation doesn’t in the next, and we get stuck.
That’s where Unstuck somes in. Chock full of stories of the ups and downs of working in the corporate world paired with a wealth of tips, tools, strategies, and a healthy dose of humor, author Lia Garvin offers us a solution to even the stickiest of problems: reframing, or looking at a challenge through a new perspective, unlocking a new way to approach the situation to get the outcome you want.
With insights since featured in HBR, FastCompany, and CNN Business, Unstuck helps readers handle even the trickiest feedback, build confidence talking about their work so they’re tapped for high impact opportunities, overcome impostor syndrome, negotiate for more, tune into what our feelings of FOMO are trying to tell us, and more!
Since the release of the book, people have asked Lia for opportunities for hands-on practice, so she will be launching a live 4-day masterclass on how to put the tools of Unstuck to work to accelerate your career.
