Nicole had this idea, a podcast to share timeless stories, including her own, to be of greater service to others. But where to start and how to go about starting a podcast? She sought help in the form of a podcast manager named Laila and now almost 30 episodes into this adventure together and the end of season 1 in sight it was high time to bring Laila from behind the curtain and in front of the stage to hear her brave story.It turned out to be an emotional (with tears and lots of laughter) retelling of Laila’s journey as an introverted administrative assistant pretending to be an extrovert to be able to survive in the corporate world which ultimately lead to a burnout and a lot of learning about herself. Extensive therapy and reading books about introverts gave Laila the direction and the drive to change her career at the age of 50.Happier than she has ever been she has immersed herself in podcast management, the tech of editing, the supporting of clients and having a blast while doing this.One of the questions Nicole always asks her guests is who their Brave role model is and this time it is not at all a person you expect to be a brave role model. Resources mentioned in this episode:Quiet by Susan CainWhen I am an old woman I shall wear purple by Sandra Martz If you want to start a podcast or want to outsource podcasting tasks you can visit Laila’s website:https://thepodcastjourney.com/thepodcastjourneyOr connect with her on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/laila-noort/orhttps://www.facebook.com/Thepodcastjourneyhttps://www.instagram.com/thepodcastjourney/ For more information on how you can build your brave:[email protected]://www.tricksteinbach.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoletricksteinbach/https://www.facebook.com/NicoleTrickSteinbach Full video of this episode: https://youtu.be/7QZoFgMb3JU If you are an established woman in tech who is creating results and making an impact at work so your workload and stress just keep growing but promotions and salary bumps remain a distant dream, it is time for change. Listen, we all know the tech industry has dramatically changed.

Has anyone told you that you are a cast iron pan? Cause you areWhat is Nicole talking about! How can you, a human being, be compared to a cast iron pan?Well, there is the foundation, how a cast iron pan is made, what it does with your meat, and the fact that every cast iron pan is unique... and results depends upon how you care for it and YOU.In 3 metaphors Nicole explains why she is a cast iron pan.Number 1: If you don’t use your cast iron pan, it rusts. You have got to use it and you have got to know what you want to use it for. Meaning you can be exactly who you want to be. Nicole wants to be a coach to successful women in tech. Who do you want to be?Number 2: A cast iron pan is “a hunk of work that isn’t worth it” to some and "the best thing ever" to others. Having a cast iron pan is a investment. When are you going to invest in yourself?Number 3: When your cast iron pan (or you) is not performing as usual, what do you do? You try out new things, see what works and what doesn’t.  How are you improving and learning? For more information on how you can build your brave:[email protected]://www.tricksteinbach.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoletricksteinbach/https://www.facebook.com/NicoleTrickSteinbach    If you are an established woman in tech who is creating results and making an impact at work so your workload and stress just keep growing but promotions and salary bumps remain a distant dream, it is time for change. Listen, we all know the tech industry has dramatically changed.
