b Brilliant Live Course

Getting Started
In this first module, I will set the stage for the work to come – what you can expect and, well, what not to expect too. I also add in some unexpected humor right out the gate…and never look back.

Module Highlights:

• You will be coached to set your intentions. When you clearly define your intentions, goals and outcomes – it is nearly impossible not to achieve them. 
• After watching the video lessons, you will answer some simple and powerful questions that will set the current and end state vision as to what you want to get from the workshop.

Making Connections
In this module, I will coach you on familiar things, in an unfamiliar way.

Module Highlights:

• “Networking” will be defined in a whole new way by focusing on how to make authentic connections in every interaction you have.
• We’ll dig into and debunk the term “office politics” and coach you to remove it from your list of reasons you can’t go further up the “ladder”.
• I coach on the all too important Mentors and Sponsors, but I introduce the concept of “Expanders” and “Anti-Sponsors” as well.

Getting Uncomfortable
Things start to heat up here, and we don’t look back. In this module, we talk about the single biggest, career-boosting strategy I took – taking on reach assignments.

Module Highlights:

• Inspiring stories and very tangible steps you can take to start (or continue) to take on new work, projects, and jobs that stretch you until you’re about 50% uncomfortable.
• We dig right into making mistakes…and how these are gold mines for growth and getting noticed.

Standing Out
This is the fun stuff! If you’re not standing out, you’re blending in. And that’s not fun.

Module Highlights:

• We tackle the 3 most powerful building blocks for leadership and how critical it is to practice these well before you’re a manager (and it’s also never too late).
• I will also do some straight talk about how critical it is to communicate with senior leaders in the right way. If you can’t nail this, I’m sorry to say your career growth is limited. It’s sad but true.
• I debunk the myths (hint: it’s not just for the big stage or extroverts), the science and power behind storytelling, and finally, I give you my five proven categories for storytelling. Then I put you to work, building your own story library.

Focusing on You
All the things we learned up to this point are all for nothing, if you don’t have the guts and discipline to focus on yourself.

Module Highlights:

• We have a LOT of fun in one of these lessons (you won’t believe the sh*t I think of doing sometimes to make a point). And it will leave you with permission to stop only doing things for others…especially you “mom types”.
• This might even be the most important lesson there is. We also talk about setting boundaries for yourself. Guess what?
• You are the only person that will do this. I give you very small, practical tips to implement and build upon. 

Going For It
You didn’t think I’d leave you hanging, did you? In this module I walk you through a 3-step process to prepare and ask for the promotion you deserve.

Module Highlights:

• I walk you through a 3-step process to prepare and ask for the promotion you deserve.
• Not quite sure your next step is in the company you’re in?  I also lead a lesson about the most strategic way to look for your next job.
• And most importantly, what NOT to focus on in that process as well (eh-hem – other people’s opinions).

Crossing the Finish Line
In this final module, I bring full-on Coach Erin to the lessons to ensure you’re inspired and accountable to take what you’ve learned and keep it going.

Module Highlights:

• I give you my own, weird-a$$ version of “Win one for the Gipper” speech  
• I talk about other ways we can continue to kick each other in the pants towards more and more success!
