If you've ever doubted yourself, felt out of place, or struggled with imposter syndrome as a woman or person of marginalized identity, remember this:There’s nothing wrong with you.The corporate ladders are broken. Leadership pipelines are broken. It’s not your fault that society conditions women and marginalized people to question their worth.We’re all put into “trances”—altered states of consciousness triggered by external influences—that lead us to second-guess ourselves.It’s essential to h...

Risky Conversations with Jamie Lee ·

2024/10/18

When you're a smart, capable woman who leads, you're most likely going to be one of the few or the only in the leadership suite -- especially so if you're a woman of color, an immigrant, on the LGBTQ spectrum or neurodivergent. This inevitably means you often have to FIGHT to keep your seat at the table. When should you put up a fight? Why should you risk fighting? What life skills outside of work will help you become a better fighter and therefore a winner? But also,...

2024/10/11

When my coaching clients—accomplished professionals who are minorities at work—tell me how they spin out in anxious rumination or freeze up without speaking in large meetings, I know it’s not because they haven’t prepared or tried hard enough.It’s because a part of their brain tells them that speaking up is too big a risk. They're pushing too hard against a belief that cuts right into their sense of safety and self-worth.In today’s episode, we’ll dive into why this happens and, more important...

That's the future I explored as an intern at Golden Seeds (back in 2010), an angel fund dedicated to women-owned and led startups. I relished sitting in on investor pitches and learning about innovative solutions in areas as varied as reproductive health, children's education, and sustainable fashion -- spaces where women's lived experiences are ...

Risky Conversations with Jamie Lee ·

2024/09/12

What should you do when a colleague (or a manager) takes credit for your ideas at work? According to Harvard Business Review, it's a matter of when, not if. You’ll speak up in a meeting with managers and offer a strategic solution to a business problem only to be unacknowledged, ignored, or worse yet, shushed. Then a colleague — almost always a man — will paraphrase your idea and get praised for it. It's infuriating. It hurts. While injustices exist, you don’t want to...

If you've ever struggled with severe PMS, painful periods, or the visceral challenges of having a female body in a male-dominated workplace, this episode is a must-listen. This is an important conversation for me personally. As a menstruating woman in her forties, I've had days where I'd been doubled over in premenstrual pain (both physical and mental) so bad the overly dramatic part of my brain told me I was going to die. I'm always searching for answers, so I've googled my sy...
