Welcome to the Career Insights Blog
Bienvenu.e au blog Perspectives carrière
For those who have been told to “wait their turn,” to “tone it down,” or to let their work speak for itself, who have worked twice as hard, spoken twice as carefully, and still wonder if they belonged or if it was enough.
Pour les personnes à qui l’on a dit d’attendre leur tour, de modérer leurs propos ou de laisser leur travail parler pour elles. Celles qui ont travaillé deux fois plus dur, parlé deux fois plus prudemment et qui se sont encore demandées si leur place était légitime ou si cela suffisait

When Influence Isn’t Enough
Influence can take you far, but not always far enough. This blog explores what happens when leading without authority stalls, the toll it takes, and how the CORE framework (Clarify, Own, Request and Establish) can help you find clarity, support, and balance.
Leading From Where You Are: Influence Before Authority
Leadership doesn’t begin with a title. It begins with the choices we make every day to build trust, take initiative, and influence outcomes, even without formal authority. Too often, we wait for a promotion to step into leadership, only to discover that the real practice starts much earlier. This piece explores how leadership without a title shows up in everyday actions, and why those small, consistent behaviors shape the foundation for future opportunities.
When Frustration Hits…..Stop
Frustration and irritation is inevitable in leadership, but how you respond makes all the difference. Quick reactions often feel powerful but can damage credibility and trust. This piece explores how a short pause shifts irritation into clarity, helping you lead with steadiness and authority instead of being carried away by the moment.
Your Brain Runs on Pauses, Not Pressure
When your mind feels scattered, the instinct is often to push harder, to type faster, to keep talking, to tick off just one more box. But what if there were another way? A pause, even a short one, can shift perspective, lighten the load, and help you return with a clearer sense of direction. Resets do not need to be dramatic to make a difference.
Multitasking: The Productivity Killer
We often think multitasking makes us more productive. Research shows otherwise. Our brains don’t really multitask , they switch, and every switch has a cost. In this post, I explore why the myth persists, and how sequencing and monotasking can restore clarity, focus, and progress.
One Word That Changes Feedback
Feedback is one of the most powerful ways to help others grow, yet it’s easy for it to come across as discouraging. Sometimes, the difference lies in a single word. This post explores simple word swaps , like turning “but” into “and” or shifting “you need to” into a collaborative “how about” that can make feedback easier to hear and more constructive. Small changes in language strengthen trust, encourage growth, and show that you value both people and results.
When Things Are Still not Flowing: A Grounded Way to Move Forward
When things aren’t flowing, you don’t always need to escalate or wait for a breakthrough. Sometimes, a quiet shift in how you see or approach the situation can restore momentum. This post introduces the 4 R’s: Retire, Redirect, Repackage, Reflect, a practical mindset to help you stay grounded, responsive, and intentional when progress feels out of reach.
