Welcome to my Friday issue of Peak Performers, sharing my latest high-impact highlights and practical tips to help you stand out, lead with confidence, and land better opportunities.

As always, a big thank you for all of your support πŸ™Œ


Many women find themselves stuck in mid-career limbo.
Undervalued, overlooked, and unsure how to move forward.
​
Plus, with workplace dynamics evolving so fast, especially with the rise of AI, now is the time to equip yourself with the mindset, tools, and strategies to play even bigger.
​
I'm so excited to go live today on LinkedIn at 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT with my friend Shyvee Shi, Product and Community Lead at Microsoft and founder of the AI Learning Community Program.

By joining us, you'll learn:

β†’ How to use AI to boost your visibility at work and strategically leverage AI to showcase your contributions and stand out in your career.
​
β†’ Frameworks to advocate for yourself with confidence so you communicate your value, own your wins, and pursue the recognition and opportunities you deserve.

β†’ Strategies for overcoming imposter syndrome and levelling up, especially in more male-dominated spaces so you elevate your influence. And more!

πŸ’‘ Friday inspiration

When you're in a meeting and that little voice in your head says, "This might be a dumb question" or "Someone else has probably already thought of this", pause.

That’s often the exact moment when your voice needs to be heard.
​
Confident communicators aren't fearless, they simply act despite the fear. One way I love doing this is by anchoring your contribution to curiosity or impact:
​
β†’ "I’m curious how this might impact our timeline if we…?" ​
β†’ "From a customer perspective, I wonder how this will be received?"
​
​
These phrases position you as thoughtful, strategic, and engaged, without needing to sound perfect.

You don’t have to speak the most in the room to be seen as confident. But you do need to be intentional.
​
Start by setting a small challenge for yourself like speaking at least once in your next team meeting. Prep a question, insight, or build-on comment in advance.
​
Even one thoughtful contribution builds the habit and over time, helps you shift from silence to influence.
​
You've got this!
