You don’t need to be louder: 6 ways women can increase visibility at work

In this article, Alexandra Popkova breaks down six practical ways women can increase their visibility without losing themselves in the process, from getting clear on your why and making your work impossible to overlook, to navigating office politics, finding the right sponsors, and showing up in your own style.

A 6-Step framework to get any idea across

Most of us struggle to explain ideas clearly not because the ideas are too complex, but because we skip the work of translating them for someone else. This piece walks through a simple six-step framework for getting any idea across, starting with naming things clearly, anchoring new concepts in something familiar, and always checking if it actually landed. If a four-year-old would get it, so will everyone else.

Why curiosity is your most underrated career skill

Stop asking why and start fixing what's in front of you

When something goes wrong, our instinct is to ask who is responsible and why. But investigating before fixing creates conflict, blame, and wasted energy. This piece makes a case for a simple shift: accept the situation, fix the problem first, and only then look at what went wrong. The post-mortem still happens, just at the right time, when people are calm enough to be honest instead of defensive.

How to turn difficult conversations into productive ones

A difficult conversation doesn't have to feel like a battle. This piece introduces a simple three-step framework for walking into tough talks with structure instead of frustration. Start by stating what you actually observed, not what you assumed. Then get genuinely curious about the other person's perspective before jumping to solutions. Finally, stop thinking about it as you vs. them and start treating it as both of you vs. the problem. It is a small shift in mindset that can completely change where the conversation ends up.
