The right guidance at the right time
Whether you’re new to Be Business Savvy or have been reading for a while, this page makes it easy to find exactly what you need, right when you need it. Each series brings together articles sharing a common theme — so whether you’re building your leadership foundation, sharpening your business savvy, or navigating the culture women swim in every day, the right guidance is just a click away.
Some series are open to all readers. Others — where the deeper work lives — are exclusively for paid subscribers.
Lessons in Leadership
“Leadership isn’t a title — it’s a practice. At every single level, career success rests entirely on your proven and perceived leadership skill. If you’ve ever wondered what leadership really means, whether it applies to you, or how to step more fully into it, this series gives you a clear definition, a practical framework, and the confidence to lead from wherever you stand.”
Business Acumen
This series for paid subscribers grounds readers in the most important concepts for developing and demonstrating business acumen, but also lays the foundation for financial and strategic acumen. It’s a “light” touch on the more substantive business acumen content in the Be Business Savvy course.

Financial Acumen
Financial reports aren’t accounting documents — they’re the answers to the questions your executives lie awake thinking about. Are we winning? Where are we losing ground? What do we do next? This series cracks the code on financial acumen: what financial statements actually tell you, how to connect the numbers to decisions being made, and how to speak fluently in the language of business results. Because when you understand the numbers, you understand the business — and that changes everything.
Using the Greatness in You
You’re unlikely to find your personal greatness in another strengths assessment or values exercise — you’ve done those. It’s found in understanding the deeper patterns of who you are and how you show up. This series takes an unexpected path to self-knowledge: the archetypes of world goddesses. Discover which goddess energies live in you and how those energies can elevate your leadership.

Engage the Greatness in Others
Great leadership rests on three elements — and any one of them can cause it to soar or stall. This series explores the second: engaging others. Through an unexpected lens — the art of classical dressage and the magnificent Andalusian horse — you’ll discover the subtle, powerful dynamics of inspiring people to bring their very best. Informative, yes. Surprising, absolutely.
Overcoming Career Derailers
Six behaviors are quietly derailing careers — including yours, possibly without you knowing it. This 8-part series names them, reframes them as learnable skills, and shows you how to turn each one into a career enabler. Read straight through or go straight to what’s holding you back: self-promotion, sponsorship, leadership brand, strategic networking, confidence, or being seen as high potential.
Make the Most of Mentoring
Most mentoring relationships underdeliver — not because of bad intentions, but because nobody taught you how to make them work. This short series changes that. Whether you’re in a formal program, cultivating informal mentors, or starting from scratch, you’ll learn exactly how to get what you need from every mentoring relationship.
It Needs to Be Said
A collection of articles on the things nobody’s saying out loud, but should be. Here I shamelessly leap onto my soapbox and opine about the patriarchal culture in which we swim. Because naming the water is the first step to deciding — consciously, deliberately — how we choose to move through it. Wade in. I guarantee you'll never again drift with the current when you could choose your own direction.
