2. Breaking the Glass Ceiling

First up, let’s make this crystal clear: that pesky glass ceiling doesn’t define your sparkle! 🌟 If you’ve got the skills and the fierce attitude but still find doors shut, it’s time to make some boss moves.

So, what's a Corporate Girly to do? 💁‍♀️

  1. Turn That Frown Upside Down: Feeling all the emotions about hitting that glass ceiling? Channel those feels into something fierce! Let the frustration fuel your fire, but always keep it classy. 💃

  2. Be a Detective in Heels: Know your battleground! Investigate the who’s, what’s, and why’s of the glass ceilings in your company. The more you know, the more fabulously you can strategize. 🕵️‍♀️👠

  3. Girly, Speak Up!: If the higher-ups are oblivious to that glass barrier, it's time to raise your voice (with a side of sass). Be eloquent and firm. Who knows, you might gain some allies in the most unexpected corners! 🎤

  4. Slay with Patience and Poise: Crushing that glass ceiling isn’t an overnight victory. Be gracefully relentless in your pursuit. Remember to check in with your managers and make sure your dazzling presence isn't forgotten. ⏳

  5. Own Your Path, Queen!: If your current kingdom doesn’t appreciate your royal prowess, maybe it’s time to find a new castle. Be open to seeking opportunities that treat you like the Corporate Queen you are! 👑

3. ‘Yes I Can‘ Corner

Believe it, breathe it, and watch the magic unfold. Each day is a fresh canvas and you have the paintbrush. With every affirmation, you’re not just speaking words - you’re painting the strokes of your future masterpiece. Let's manifest ambitions that soar as high as our heels! Declare your worth, own your power, and let the universe know you’re here to slay. The world is your runway and darling, you’re the star. 🚀✨

🚀 Goal-Setting Superstar: Nail your day by setting three main goals. Be the laser-focused go-getter - know what needs conquering and channel your energy there!

📲 Tech-Savvy Organiser: Embrace the digital diva in you. Employ Trello for smashing those tasks, or Google Calendar for never missing a beat. The structure is your secret weapon!

⏰ Block It Like It’s Hot: Assign chunks of time for specific tasks. Devote an hour to emails, and don’t let them creep into your creative space. Block it, own it, and watch your productivity soar!

🍅 Pomodoro Power: Take 25 minutes – that's all you need. Go all-in on a task. Then, 5 minutes to stretch, scroll, or sip. You’ll be a productivity powerhouse and still keep your sanity.

✋ Master of 'No': Be bold - it’s okay to say ‘no’ sometimes. Guard your time like the treasure it is. Only take on what you can without compromising your fabulosity or goals.
