Summary

Heather Monahan was at the top of her career when she was blindsided and fired after 14 years as Chief Revenue Officer. Instead of letting it define her, she walked away with her head held high and rebuilt her life on her own terms. Heather turned her setback into a springboard for success, becoming a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and confidence expert. In this episode, Heather shares her three-step BAK process for overcoming villains, strategies for navigating toxic environments, and the power of living “lanelessly.” In this episode, Hala and Heather will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (03:09) Heather's Impact on Hala's Career (04:13) Personal and Professional Challenges (09:59) Living Lanelessly (13:25) Facing Villains and Building Confidence (21:00) The BAK Process for Overcoming Challenges (23:58) The Sandwich Technique for Constructive Feedback (26:31) Overcoming Negative Self-Talk (34:16) Manifestation and Visualization (37:31) The 30-Day Grid for Goal Tracking (39:45) The Power of Music in Achieving Goals (41:30) Grief to Gross Ratio (45:13) The Art of Pitching Yourself (48:41) The Importance of Knowledge and Skills Heather Monahan is a 2x bestselling author, Top 50 Keynote Speaker in the World (2022), entrepreneur, founder of Boss In Heels, and host of the Creating Confidence podcast. Before becoming a top author and speaker, Heather successfully climbed the corporate ladder for nearly 20 years, becoming one of the few women to break the glass ceiling and claim a spot in the C-suite. In 2017, she was named one of the Most Influential Women in Radio. In 2018, Thrive Global named her a Limit Breaking Female Founder, and in 2021, Girls Club honored her as the Thought Leader of the Year. Forbes recognized Heather’s first book, Confidence Creator, as one of the five must-have books for women in business in 2021. Her latest book, Overcome Your Villains, was released in November 2021.
