OUR ROADMAP
SHOW.MESM
Success in college is relatively straightforward with a syllabus for each course, transparent grading systems, and pre-established requirements to graduate. Fast forward a few years into the working world and things aren’t so clear.
We get it. And, we’ve got your back with SHOW.ME – the first-of-its-kind career success roadmap to help you develop new skills, increase your confidence and navigate workplace dynamics.
Consider this: careers typically span 40, 50 and increasingly up to 60 years. So, having a good foundation–EARLY– is key to success and fulfillment. It could have an exponential impact over the course of your career, including your earning potential.
Based on decades of experience running companies, hiring talent, coaching teams, teaching courses and curating hundreds of books, we identified 6 key pillars for building a successful and fulfilling career.
Self, Habits, Others, Workplace, Money and Emotion
Our SHOW.MESM concept is featured in each newsletter and incorporated in every Equipt course and coaching program. Here is an overview of the FREE life-long tools you can download and apply to your life right now.
Self
Deepening self-knowledge
One of the most important steps in career success and leadership development is investing the time to truly know yourself. Do you routinely reflect on who you are and where you want to go? In this career pillar, we focus on Values, Strengths, Vision, Brand and Impact.
Habits
Establishing empowering habits
Our daily habits feed our well-being, future opportunities and path to success. Are your habits healthy, empowering and sustainable? In this career pillar, we focus on Curiosity, Networking, Boundaries, Prioritization and Self-Care.
Others
Strengthening relationships and impact with others
Communicating skillfully with others takes practice. Do you have the courage and know-how to handle tricky situations? In this career pillar, we focus on Feedback, Assertiveness, Influence, Conflict and Trust.
Workplace
Navigating workplace dynamics
There are unwritten rules and unspoken expectations at work. Do you have insight into your company’s culture so you can pursue opportunities instead of hoping they come to you? In this pillar, we focus on Culture Fit, Sponsorship, Opportunism, Resilience and Managing Up.
Money
Learning to talk money
Money is often a taboo topic that makes a lot of women uncomfortable. It’s easy to avoid altogether, but doing so is to your own detriment. Do you know if you’re equitably paid? Do you have a firm grasp on how to negotiate a promotion or a raise? In this pillar, we focus on Attitude, Compensation, Negotiation, Budgeting and Investing.
Emotion
Developing emotional agility
Expressing emotion at work and in relationships is part of being human. Are you equipt to handle difficult moments calmly, coolly and confidently? In this pillar, we focus on Awareness, Self-Regulation, Empathy, Listening and Motivation.
