“You are like a thumbprint. You are absolutely unique. Now you have to understand how, and leverage it and be strong enough to be powerful.” – Kathy Caprino
This Summer, I’m delighted to offer you our “Summer Pick” series which brings you a selection of the most popular listener favorites from the past few years of shows. Today’s solo episode originally aired on November 15th, 2018. Hope you enjoy them!
In this episode, I share key findings from my in-depth research, interviews and client and course work with thousands of professional women around the world about the 7 most damaging power gaps that block 98% of women (and 90% of men) from reaching their highest potential and most thrilling, rewarding goals in their work and careers.
Here, I outline how these 7 gaps steal away our power, confidence, energy, vision, connection and influence, and I explain how these gaps derail us from achieving what we want most, no matter how we try. You’ll hear me share some specific, actionable tips and new approaches to help you recognize the gaps that are impacting your life today, and move forward to address these destructive gaps once and for all.
I also wanted to share that we have now moved to a biweekly schedule, continuing to bring you great episodes that I hope you find instrumental but also giving you a bit more time to check out and digest each episode and take action on the powerful strategies and tips that are shared. Thank you so much and wishing you a great summer! Enjoy the show!

Ready to Take Your Professional Life and Leadership to the Next Level? Become The Most Powerful You!
In reading a great deal about leadership today, and interviewing top leadership experts, I’m recognizing a disappointing trend – that the general concept and understanding of leadership has become so vague and watered down that most of it isn’t helpful at all, and it’s not suited to a majority of women who want to lead differently.
The Most Powerful You training goes deeper. It helps you recognize and understand more about yourself as a person and the leader you want to be, then take empowering, transformative actions to operate in your role in a way that takes your leadership and your career higher, making the impact you dream to. If you truly want to help your team, staff and organization become “The Most Powerful We,”this is the right training for you.
