We all make career mistakes, but some of them are avoidable.

On this episode, my guest Lois Franco brings us her wisdom

from supporting the success of professional women,

and teaches us the unconscious mistakes women make to sabotage their careers.

This is Coaching for Leaders, episode 386.

Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential.

Greetings to you from Orange County, California.

This is coaching for leaders, and I'm your host, Dave Stahoviac.

Leaders aren't born, they're made, and this weekly show gives you access to the practical wisdom

that will empower you to become a better

leader.

You certainly have considered all the aspects of leadership in the workplace and one of the aspects of leadership that is something that comes up regularly in the emails I receive is what are some of the unique things that women face in leadership.

And we have talked a bit about this before on the show.

And today, I am really glad to welcome an expert

who has really done some tremendous thinking of helping women to be successful at work

and just as importantly helping all of us to think about gender in ways that are helpful, practical, but also in helping both men and women be more successful in their work.

I am thrilled to be able to welcome Lois Franl to the show today. Lois is the

president of corporate coaching international. She's a best-selling author,

executive coach, and an internationally recognized expert in the field of leadership development for women.

She has appeared on Larry King Live, The Tavis Smiley Show, the Today Show,

C, NBC, and PBS to discuss her New York Times best-selling books.

Nice girls don't get the corner office.
