Short & sweet courses that keep on giving

Paula faced glass ceilings as:

A woman

A disabled person living with invisible pain from of a misdiagnosed spinal injury

A single mother when her husband died while their daughter was a baby

A young person

An old person

 

Paula broke both stereotypes and glass ceilings to become:

An international speaker at age 50, adding to my international speaking resume from my late 60s on.

An international bestselling author for the first time at age 70.

An international TV producer at age 71.

 

Stereotypes About You that Build Glass Ceilings

You face more stereotypes than you realize.

Stereotypes are the building blocks of glass ceilings.

See the stereotypes about you in the blog posts that fit your life. Each blog post includes Points to Ponder:

Negative Stereotypes Behind Bad & Ugly Gossip: People In General

Negative Stereotypes Behind Bad & Ugly Gossip: Workplaces

Negative Stereotypes Behind Bad & Ugly Gossip: Romance

Negative Stereotypes Behind Bad & Ugly Gossip: Ethnic, National, & Racial Identities

Negative Stereotypes Behind Bad & Ugly Gossip: Poverty

You probably won’t be able to break every stereotype and every glass ceiling in your life.

But you won’t be able to break any stereotype or any glass ceiling unless you know how to break them.

You always have control with one particular group of people. Take advantage of that control to invite unimagined success to yourself.
