QUOTES AND KEY TAKEAWAYS
“Do good work on purpose.”
“Part of my coaching practice is helping people to not just react to things that are happening to them but be really thoughtful about what their non-negotiables are, what they want to learn, and what they want to earn. Get comfortable naming those things, talking about them, and making decisions based on those things rather than just responding to situations that they find themselves in.”
“People should get really clear on what matters to them as humans who are working so they have thoughtful intention in both spheres.”
“I think people often under sell and they under pitch because they think they have to do more to prove themselves.”
Career Coaching Framework: Clarity, Confidence, and Agency
Career branding documents should be STICKY: Skill-based, Tailored, Intentionality, Confidence, Keep it real, You
“Skills language is the value add. This is what you do and how does what you do add value to the organization.”
“Having a career strategy can mean having a really clear list of the things you want to learn/do or the problems you want to solve. Or it could be an clear awareness of your known boundaries or personal catalysts.”
“Right now is what we have. Be really thoughtful about right now as you are planning for the future.”

“Don’t wait for someone else to create your future.”
“The pandemic was going to actually move us backwards because of the challenges that women face uniquely during the pandemic with their kids home and their need to work from home more.”
“My work was never something that was on the side. It was part of my identity and part of my whole life. I love technology that much and I love working with people that much.”
“The thing that resonates with me the most that I see as a common thread is a deeper clarity of who they are themselves as a leader and moving away from what their employer, or their supervisors, have told them about themselves.”
“We, as human beings, want to feel satisfied in our lives more holistically than just in our work.”
T.H.R.I.V.E Operating System – “The number one step is transparent assessment to really uncover who you are as your unique leadership self.”

“When you are clear on who you are, all kinds of stuff happens. You cannot unsee it anymore.”
“For anyone working in a male dominated industry, the fact that we are ashamed to talk about our successes and about ourselves holds us back.”
“Women are always looking for how they are not ready instead of how they are ready.”
“We want to be 150% ready when really science tells us we really just need to be 50% ready for the role and we can fill in the rest with growth.”
“Every single woman who is listening to this should be talking about artificial intelligence and the way it changes the work that we do.”

“Seeing what is possible is what kept drawing me in. Every time I would level up and succeed in something. It was still that added attraction of I have done it and continue to do it.”
“Accepting the chaos.”
“Looking back now, if I would not have said yes to trying something new I would not be where I am today. That is one of the coolest things. It is like a ‘whose done it’ story. I never had the experience and look where it took me – just from saying yes and taking on a challenge.”
“There is just something about putting that hood down; I was immediately drawn to it. It was, ‘How much more can I get? Do I have to sleep? Can I keep doing this?’”
“The opportunity of the trades is what enticed me in the beginning. Realizing I was one of the only on the only ones there was also a little enticing. I am a pretty bold person; I beat to my own drum most of the time.“
“I am creating a space here for other women and young girls to see that they can do it too.”
“Male dominated taking away the light on the fact that women can be there too. If we can say ‘male populated; there it indicates there be more males there but it does not mean that males are the only ones that can dominate in that field.”
“Imposter syndrome can creep up on people. They do not think you are supposed to be there so why should you think you are supposed to be there. You should know that, if are going to insert yourself somewhere and put time and effort into it, you deserve to be there.”
“If you have that thought, that desire, don’t let it fade away. Try it out. You may find your passion and not even realize it.”“If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you can dream it, you can become it.” William Arthur Ward

“It’s all about being able to see the change. And be that change for others. It’s not about us. It is not about the ones breaking the barriers. It is about the ones that are coming behind us.”
“You cannot evolve if you keep doing the same things.”
“Women change the way we think about certain things. It cannot be done the same way every time.”
“One of the things I have seen change is people are more open; more willing to listen to the woman in the field.”
“At the end of the day, gender should not be tied to job performance.”
“One of the main barriers I still see are women who are pregnant in the industry. While they’re pregnant, after their pregnancy, and during their parenthood. For example, we are not getting PPE that is fitted for pregnant women.”

“I entered a workforce where I felt like I didn’t fit. I felt like there was something wrong with me.”
“I would observe that my male colleagues were treated a little bit differently. It was hard to pinpoint exactly what was going on other than I feel like I have to spend a lot more time, effort, and energy convincing people that I know what I am talking about.”
“The only way you conquer that ‘hard’ is by having the support system around you, even if it is just one person.”
“In the United States, we still have a very strong messaging issue around STEM that says if you are good at science and math that you should go this direction. There is this discounting of the other skills that allowed me to succeed in may engineering degree around leadership skills, communication skills, and power skills.”
“Women feel betrayed. They feel, in a way, that they were brought up to come to science, technology, engineering, and math. We want you here. And they come into the workforce and wonder where is all that support now?”
“The number one thing that people pointed to and said, ‘this moment in my career changed my trajectory in a positive way forever was a mentorship moment. Mentorship also went right along with self-advocacy.”

“In order to be your healthiest self, you have to have wealth. You have to have power, You have to have influence. Those qualities are not what we typically see in women, black women, and women of color.”
“Racism and sexism literally changes your biology. It is a form of stress. It is a form of trauma. Stress and trauma change the hormones your body produces which has an effect on your blood vessels.”

“Put the broccoli in the brownie. You want to get the nutrients in there but it is okay to still make it taste good.”
“Challenge I have seen is implementing diversity initiatives in a performative way. What I mean by performative is there is nothing really behind why the diversity initiative is being implemented. There is no conversation. It is being implemented for the sake of being implemented; for ‘keeping up with the Joneses’”.
“People need to be vulnerable in those moments that matter.”
“DEI&B is not compliance training – it is a discussion. It is not a lecture. It is a time for us to come together and get comfortable with the uncomfortable. And then be able to share that conversation with others.”
“Part of the diversity journey is meeting people where they are. Not where you think you should be. There is no finger pointing. There is no shaming. There is no blaming around the teaching, training, and learning of diversity.”
“Want to make sure a company knows who they are first. And then being able to incorporate DEI&B initiatives within the mission, vision, and values.”
“Without a story, people are not going to attach to it. They are not going to see themselves. They are not going to be able to explain it to others.”

“Sometimes being courageous does not have to be this gigantic, really tough thing that you step into. It could be something really small that does not seem like a lot for you. But it is really impactful to the other person. Courage can be big or small.”
Dina’s mantra, “Grit. Grace. Gratitude.”
“Courage is a heart word. The root of the word courage is cor - the Latin word for heart. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage meant "To speak one's mind by telling all one's heart.” – Brene Brown
Courage: “Stepping into unknown purposefully with your head held high. Tackling that challenge head on.”
“Showing up is courageous. Sometimes we overthink. It is just showing up and letting what will be, will be.”
“Fake it till you become it.”
Connection: “Be mindful to not just gravitate towards the people that are naturally in your circle. Be purposeful. Find other (connections) that you would not normally have in the day-to-day.”
Connection: “Be really thoughtful on how and what connections you are going to keep.”
On Purpose Over Time: “Whatever your (purpose) answer is, that is the answer for right now. It does not mean that is what it has to look like go forward. “
“There is no such thing as perfect work life balance. There is an integration of the two where you are going to have peaks and valleys. It’s how you comingle those.”
On Grace: “Self-compassion and kindness; not only for others but for yourself.”
“Create space and time for trust and honesty on your team. If you can cultivate that, it is priceless.”

“Sometimes you have to take a leap and build your wings on the way down.”
“When you step into your calling, it is a true spiritual journey”
“When you stay more in alignment, you are more in your frequency. When you are in frequency, everything you desire as a leader of your deeper purpose of impact is going to happen at rate that feels accelerated and with ease, joy, and flow.”
“When you are truly stepping into your deeper purpose, your calling, you are stepping into a growth zone. You will be starting to do things differently in all areas of your life. It is going to be required of you.”
“When you step into your calling, it is a true spiritual journey”
“If you can understand that good things shall pass and bad things shall pass, yet you still have who you are and the gifts you have to give to the world. It’s all good.”
“If we can sit in the mastery of what we are trying to create, the journey of it, knowing our gifts will always be there. It allows us to empower ourselves to know we are significant with and without successes. This is just a journey of mastery of our self with our unique gifts.”
“When you are doing things that are aligned with you, stepping in your truth, and aligned with your core values; your frequency starts changing.”
“We feed off each other’s frequency. It’s called masterminding. When you start elevating your creation, your team feeds off of that. Your ability to take care of you first helps influence everyone around you.”
“When we have a lot of chaos in our brain, writing it and speaking it physiologically takes it out of our head and purges it through the body. So now the brain has space for a solution.”
“Your brain is so brilliant. It wants to work for you, but it needs room.”
“When you actually believe something and you say you are going to do it. And you do not do it for yourself. Your brain starts not trusting you. Actually starts giving you activities that are far from the activity you want to trust yourself in.”
“How can we create empathy for someone else if you do not have empathy for yourself.”

“If you understand your why, there is something liberating about learning how to work with that.”
Reason for the shortage: “We are being drained of our energy for many reasons and we are not filling up with the right inputs.”
“There is rhythm our body is programmed to be attuned to.”
“Unfortunately, we reach for the abundance of energy in the wrong ways – caffeine, comfort foods, etc. Your body is in survival mode and you’re doing everything you can to get to moment to moment.”
“The only inputs that can restore the body’s charge come from whole food (that actually has the charge from nature), the sun, the natural water, and grounding from the earth.”
Survival Mode: “ When we are stuck in the fight or flight modes. There is no rest or digest. No parasympathetic mode. It is like the light switch is always on.”
Burnout: “When that (survival mode) has been the case way too long.”
Burnout: “It can be described as metabolic chaos.”
“Creativity, I think, is what drives all of us. When you are so depleted, there is no space for that.”
“I am so addicted to being busy because it feels productive.”
“Requires us to let go of stuff that we think is important but is actually not.”
On action steps: “Start with the things that make the biggest impact. As soon as you start to feel a little bit better, you will be amazed at what other space opens up.”
On action steps: “Look at existing routines to see if they can be tweaked.”

“I feel good from the inside out. When you are centered in your confidence, there are no secrets to that. There is no competition; it’s about collaboration. Lifting each other up.”
“Turning obstacle into an opportunity.”
“Confidence is an inside game. The mistake sometimes people make. They are seeking external validation for their confidence.”
“Your authentic self is your most powerful version of you.”
“Only way self-doubt wins is if we let it. We have a lot more power and control than we realize.”
“Positive Intelligence (PQ) is a measure of your mental fitness. It’s the ratio of how your brain defaults to either positive or negative thoughts.”
“What you can control is what you do with it once you hear it.”
“Some people go through life never actually hearing their self-doubt, simply feeling it.”
“Our body speaks our truth louder than our words all the time.”
“Name it to tame it.”
Our self-doubt has names. Nine primary saboteur voices: Controller, Hyper achiever, Restless, Stickler, Pleaser, Hyper vigilant, Avoider, Victim, and Hyper rationale.
“Self-Doubt does not discriminate. When you are playing big, setting big goals, and you are stepping out of your comfort zone; that is when your self-doubt wants you to listen. Our brains are wired to protect us.”
“You can turn the impossible to possible when you silence those saboteurs and lean into your sage voices where your full potential and power truly lives.”

“You want to show up in your presence, in your voice, and in your body language as if you are the expert. Because if you don’t come across as confident then how would someone want to buy anything from you.”
“Every time we open up our mouths we have the opportunity to influence someone.”
PPU Introduction Guide: Say something personal, professional, and unique about yourself.
“When we are confident, we have a better ability to be able to influence others because we come across as more connected and we come across with more clarity.”
“When you are sharing your story back to someone who shared something, and you’re attempting to connect with them, your part should not be more than 45 seconds. Once it gets longer than that, the other person shuts down, feels dismissed, or both.”
“Every word has a job. Does that word do the job? Is it needed to do the job?”

QUOTES AND KEY TAKEAWAYS
“You need to be intentional about how others experience you.”
“Find your voice and find your voice early. Don’t be afraid of it.”
“So many people sit and wait for the opportunity to come to them. Just doing your job isn’t the only way to make that happen.”
What does a good customer experience look like? Combination of the transactional customer experience and the lifecycle experience (considering all those touch points in between).
“Elevating what you’re delivering from the person’s expectations of you.”
What should we avoid when we’re trying to create positive customer experiences? “Not doing what you say you’re going to do.”
Customer Journey Mapping - Key questions to think about:
(1) What is the customer going through when they need a product like ours?
(2) What are the touch points that us, as a company, is giving that person as they are trying to understand our product or evaluating our competitor’s product?
(3) What digital tools are we using to communicate along that way?
On Blind Hiring: “Allowed me to understand the content of their (candidates) character and the capabilities as it relates to the role.”

QUOTES AND KEY TAKEAWAYS
“You have to be able to experience worth, happiness, joy. You have to be able to experience that now. What makes you think $10,000, $100,000 is going to make a difference.”
“Born (from those experiences} is an interpretation. That interpretation is shame, guilt, resentment, and unworthiness.”
“You cannot feel empowered to move forward if you’re focused in the past.”
“We don’t have the language to talk about money. Money is a new thing for our brain… It’s lumped in with the other reward pathways.”
“For women, we’re not real clear on what wealth means to us individually.”
“Important first step is what are my values and what life do I want to create. Being intentional with that life.”
“I’ve climbed the ladder and it’s up against the wrong building.”
“Money really is just numbers on page but we assign value to it. You have to look at the meaning you assign to it. That is born from your past experiences – what your parents said about money, what your church said about money, what your community said about money, what your best friend thinks about money, and your own experiences.”
Different Layers of Thinking in the Brain: Mindset – Limiting Beliefs – Identify
“Emotional identities define are potential.”
“Women are taught to shrink their way to wealth.”
“Women need to stop the shame for women that are doing well and willing to say I am doing well. Let’s clap, say congratulations, and teach me how to do it.”<

QUOTES AND KEY TAKEAWAYS
“Planning and saving helped put in the place to be able to do that career change.”
“Usually one person in a couple takes the lead when it comes to finances. The person more interested is the more engaged person and 60% of the time that is the woman.”
Common fear women have is their retirement security and avoiding running out of money.
“Advocate for yourself. Even if you don’t think you deserve it or if you think other people deserve it more, go for it. That is so much data that shows that women tend to underestimate or undervalue what their skills are worth.”
“Each of us has to become comfortable in our own skin. We have to become comfortable with who we are and what we can do. If we are comfortable, we are less likely to feel the need to keep up with the Joneses or a social media influencer. We’re not buying things to satisfy some discontent within ourselves.”
“It’s okay to do a little extra something here and there, but keep your big picture in mind.”

ABOUT OUR GUESTS:Jenifer Sapel
Jen is a recovering over-achiever who overcompensated financially after living with a mother who struggled financially after divorce. She describes her childhood home as one that pretended tough subjects didn’t exist: rape, death, sex, and of course, money. Her drive to succeed, curiosity, and astonishing ability to problem solve, helped propel her success in financial services winning awards and often being the only woman leader in the room. She started Utor Wealth after tiring of long-winded meetings and over-emphasis on products and sales quotas. Utor is latin for: to use, to employ, to enjoy. Jen believes that every dollar we touch and how we send it out into the world is shaping both the world we live in and the one we aspire to. Every woman deserves to do it intentionally and with confidence, that is exactly how she helps her clients.
Carol Parrish
Carol serves as a "financial air traffic controller" for women, navigating their finances like an air traffic controller manages airplane traffic. In ever-changing circumstances, she manages the "air traffic" to create a customized flight plan guiding powerful women to their ideal destinations.
After a career in sports marketing, Carol jumped into financial services, another male dominated field, and quickly realized the need for change around women and money. She is passionate about helping women ditch the negative thoughts, shame and judgment around money (often created by men). Carol’s interest in aerospace and engineering began at an early age, growing up with her engineer father who ran a plate glass plant, and her twin brother helps build handheld ultrasounds. Her dreams of becoming an astronaut were put on hold when she discovered her extreme dislike for small spaces.
