The Ascension Stylist

How do you learn to thrive as a woman in a man's world? Nikki Evans carved out a remarkable career path working in the IT world as a successful woman. She started out with a degree in psychology when a friend of hers started a software developing company. Shortly before she graduated, the company hired her and taught her all she needed to know about software development. That was 20 years ago. Back then she wasn't aware of the kind of obstacles she was going to face in this male dominated field. She began working alongside male friends who were supportive and believed in the work she did. Eventually she found herself working in spaces where she was the only woman in the room. She started to realize that she was different, asked to do things that weren't expected of her male colleagues. These men assumed that she did not have as much knowledge about the IT world as her male peers. Her skills were often minimalized, making it a challenge for her voice to be heard. If she raised her voice, she was seen as hysterical. If the men raised their voices, they were seen as confident and assertive. Thankfully, her male counterparts would often be an advocate for her. Unfortunately, not much has changed in the IT world even 20 years later. In this very informative interview, find out the different ways Nikki Evans successfully navigate a male dominated field. ∙ How her confidence was diminished as a woman. ∙ How she learned to be more diplomatic and found allies who will stand with her. ∙ How she educated her male peers so they could see things from a different perspective. ∙ How she mentored other women so they could have the skills to confidently navigate male dominated fields. ∙ Why looking "overly feminine" in the IT world is perceived to be a dangerous thing. ∙ How she takes back her power to make it a win/win situation. ∙ The advice Nikki would give to her daughter if she pursued a career in a male dominated work environment.

There was a lot of shame in being sensual, individual and spirited for Julie Anne in her life. We have come to think of the way we get dressed as an insignificant thing. Your style is your personal signature & your individual expression of who you are. Many of us have deeply-held shame stories around the way we show up. This program is so ingrained in us, it is as if it is on automatic. These feelings of shame and unworthiness affect our leadership positions. The minute you become different, you stand out. Therein lies the block. Owning the room and owning our inner power has nothing to do with beauty, or size, or youth. Stepping into a feminine leadership requires us to take a long look at the old programs that have kept us stuck as women in a place of shame. It’s even more important now to clear out the core of the debris and become crystal clear in our identity as a Next Level Leader. I’m excited to share this illuminating interview with ExtraOrdinary Channeler, Julie Ann Hart, who works with Feminine Power and Leadership.

There’s no doubt there has been a major change in people’s motivation in getting dressed and how they show up in their clothes over the last year and a half, since the pandemic started. As a top selling realtor with ReMax in Victoria, British Columbia, Jane Johnston shares candidly about her style and how it affects her professionally. She shares openly about the current real estate market, why it’s booming and how to successfully navigate it as a buyer and as a seller. "Real estate is about the will of the people. If someone wants to make a transaction, they will make it happen — even with all the current obstacles in today's hot market." - Jane Johnston We talked about energy and how if you believe in the value of your home, people will pick up on that energy. If you don't believe in the value of your home, people pick up on that energy as well. We enjoyed our conversation with Jane, especially when she shared a few surprising moments she had with one of her clients - doing a crystal ceremony to clear the energy of the home. And the moment she showed up at The Union Club in Victoria wearing a stunning red dress that made everyone’s mouths drop open. In this episode you will learn how expressing yourself with your style creates an instant connection with your ideal clients while instantly repelling the wrong ones. You will also learn why it’s so important to dress your authentic self, rather than dress other people’s expectations. We want to hear from you!
