It's FRIDAY! It seems that every week brings a ne It's FRIDAY!  It seems that every week brings a new rollercoaster of activities, announcements, trials, and tribulations.  Let's celebrate the good this week, shall we?

What is one thing that brought you joy this week? Could be anything from a win at work, or a giggle fest with a friend.  Did your puppy learn a new trick?

Have you ever felt that something was wrong at you Have you ever felt that something was wrong at your job but not sure what changed?  Have you seen these signs but not known why?  A sudden change in responsibilities, communication level, or management style, can mean that your boss is looking for you to take the hint and quit.

It sucks and it isn't a great situation to be in, however,  try to be proactive. 

1.  Why stay in a situation where you aren't wanted?  Use this opportunity to find a new company that is excited for all that you have to offer and appreciates you!

2.  Look objectively at your time at the company and see where you could have maybe made a different choice or improved a situation.  It could be putting more emphasis on communication with your boss, or being more proactive with suggestion projects. Take these lessons to your new role.

3.  Remind yourself that you are not your job!  You are so much more than the judgment and perception of someone else.  Yes, a paycheck is fantastic but your peace of mind is so much more important. 

It will be okay.  It will take time, effort, and getting over the ego punch, but I know there are better things out there for you.

Good morning! It's a new day and another chance t Good morning!  It's a new day and another chance to work towards finding purpose on your terms and living your best life.  Here are five easy tips to get ready for the day and tackle it head-on!

1. Change out of your nighttime PJs!  Even though you may be working from home, it's important to put some separation between daytime and nighttime.  For many, it can be a psychological pick me up to change into some version of "work clothes." Give it a try - even if it means simply changing from evening sweatpants into daytime sweatpants!

2. Do 5 min. goal planning for the day.  If you know what you are specifically trying to accomplish, it is easier to get it done.  Plain and simple, a plan is the quickest way to reach success!  A 5 minute-a-day goal planning session can do wonders in helping you stay on track and accomplish your goals.

3. Check your phone / social media out of bed.  When you check your phone first thing in the morning, your first thoughts are going to be someone else's and can set the day off on the wrong foot.  Give your brain time to wake up and create a safe mental space before you inundate yourself with other people's thoughts and opinions.

4. Create a wake-up routine!  Workout, shower, stretch, whatever works for you. Start your off with something that wakes you up and helps you feel grateful for the day ahead.  Set the tone of productivity and self-care and it will continue throughout the day. 

5.  REMIND YOURSELF YOU ARE A BADASS WHO CAN DO ANYTHING! Go look in the mirror (I know, it can feel silly) and say out loud, "I'm a badass who can do anything." If you believe in yourself, that's one person who is always on your side.

What do you do in your morning routine?  Share your tips and tricks in the comments!
Who's ready to get uncomfortable? Have you ever w Who's ready to get uncomfortable?  Have you ever wanted to make a change, but were just stuck in fear?  Let's get you out of that state of mind and back into your power.  You can do it.  I promise you can.

In the comments, I challenge you to share one goal you've never said out loud because you didn't think it was possible.

Negative thoughts. We all have them, but the trick Negative thoughts. We all have them, but the trick is not to let them consume you.  I say trick, but really it takes effort and a desire to flip them on their head when they sneak into your brain.  Mindset has a lot to do with it.  If you are committed to growth, everything you do helps you down that path.  It's easier to align our actions with a clear goal we are working towards. But don't worry, there are little ways you can reframe your thoughts without making a big effort every time. And you know what they say - little things add up! 

 Check out this chart and share if any resonate with you!

It's already the second month of the year! I can't It's already the second month of the year! I can't believe it! While the new month can be intimidating for some, it is the best chance to do a reset.  Let's reset our goals and more importantly, our mindset. 

As we are now in the groove of 2021, what is one thing you only dare to dream about? If you don't dream it, you can't make it your reality.

How many times have you seen someone killing it an How many times have you seen someone killing it and have said to yourself or to friends, "I'm so jealous! I can't believe they have that!" We have all been there.  We see someone who has something we want, from a job, an expensive bag, a social media following, and our first response is that we could never have that - hence the jealous response.

What if instead of jealously, we decided to use that person as inspiration. To be inspired by what they have, and work on having it for ourselves.  It has become human nature to look at others as competition versus a roadmap to our own success. 

Next time you see someone who has something you want or has achieved things you haven't yet, try to shift that mentality from jealousy to being inspired.  Look at other's accomplishments as benchmarks for your life and future successes. 

Hard work pays off.  You don't know what someone has been through to get to where they are.  We are not each other's competition, we are each other's motivation and greatest resources. 

Try it!  Retire the word jealousy and switch it out for inspired.  Who knows what could happen.

Another week is starting tomorrow 🌟! While Mond Another week is starting tomorrow 🌟! While Mondays are not everyone's favorite, I bet with a little planning, they can become a lot less brutal.

One of the easiest Monday fixes is to be prepared for the week ahead! I like to write out my to-dos before dinner on Sunday night. That way I am prepped and ready to glide right into Monday with a plan of action and a big cup of coffee. ☕

Do you have any tips, tricks, or suggestions to make sure the week starts off right?

Values shape how we interact in the world and push Values shape how we interact in the world and push us towards our goals. When we feel we are living in accordance with our values, we generally feel content and that we are on the right path.

There isn't just one value for everyone, nor may people have the same value across all aspects of their lives. Many times, we have different values for different areas of our lives. For example, at work, you may value productivity and streamlining processes, but in your personal life, you may value deep engagement and conversation. And those are both great! 

Knowing what you value (no judgment on what it is) is the first step to clarity.

Ok, here me out! Putting yourself in your boss's s Ok, here me out! Putting yourself in your boss's shoes is AS MUCH IF NOT MORE for your benefit than theirs! Trust me, life is easier when you don't feel as though your boss hates you or you are constantly wondering WTF they are thinking.

By having a clear communication path, you are making your job (and your work-life overall) better as you know what you are doing, how well you are doing it, and how you can improve.

Putting yourself in your boss’s shoes allows you to head off issues before they blow up or sometimes, even before they arise. It also allows you the opportunity to see ahead and act accordingly. If you know what your boss is thinking and how they are going to react, you can present solutions to problems in a way that resonates with them. This little bit of insight and acting outside of yourself can put you lightyears ahead of those around you.

Work smarter, not harder.

Often we think that others are stopping us from ac Often we think that others are stopping us from achieving our goals. That if only our circumstances were different, we could get that better paying job or into those smaller jeans hiding in the closet.  But here's a hard question so be ready...How do you hold yourself back?  Yup, there it is.  How are you holding yourself back?

We all have some kind of self-limiting belief or self-sabotaging behavior that be stopping us from getting to where we want to be. Once you pinpoint yours, you can overcome it.

At Bluestocking Society, we will help you find purpose on your terms and make sure you have the tools to succeed. 

So, say f*ck it, and DM us now to starting living your life as you were meant to because you deserve it.

Hey You! First Monday of the new year! Can you Hey You! 

First Monday of the new year!  Can you believe it?! I wanted to take a little time to get to know you and let you get to know me, Taylor Drake.  I'm the Founder & CEO of Bluestocking Society; a boutique crisis management firm.

So, here are 3 quick things you probably didn't know about me:

Thing #1 -  I started my career by creating and managing events in the international music industry out of London, England; meaning I can literally throw a party like a rock star. 

Thing #2 - I love helping others succeed!  I believe that everyone has the potential to grow beyond what they even think is possible; it takes work and dedication. My mission is to help people find purpose on their terms.

Thing #3 - My favorite co-workers will always be my three dogs.  They aren't always professionally helpful, but they do look adorable in the corporate uniform.

Now over to you! What’s your biggest challenge right now when it comes to waking up every day loving your job?

This may be a weird quote for the second day of t This may be a weird quote for the second  day of the year, but hear me out!  How many times have you thought you’ve known exactly what to do, only to have a wrench thrown in your plan right at the beginning?  How many times have you started down a path (maybe a job or a major in college) only to realize that it wasn’t for you?  We’ve all been there. And we’ve all had to pivot hard!

Pivoting is one of the greatest skills to master. From big deals to a menu change, we pivot all the time.  As we go start 2021, remember that what you thought a month ago, a week ago or heck, even yesterday, may not apply to you today. 

Pivoting can happen because of something external like a job loss or a move; but your internal plans can change too. It’s ok to want something different than you originally planned for. It’s ok to want to change jobs, climb the corporate ladder, or focus on your personal life. It’s ok to say that something isn’t working and adjust accordingly. 

Don’t worry, you don’t have to go down the path alone. Bluestocking Society is here to help you with a career crisis, personal success planning, reputation management and so much more. 

We are here to help you figure out tomorrow’s plan and find purpose on your terms.  DM us now to make sure you are working towards your goals in the quickest and most productive way possible.

It's the last day of 2020! Can you believe it? A It's the last day of 2020!  Can you believe it?  As we say goodbye to a very trying year for most of us, it is important to remember the good.  Look, there may not have been a ton of good for everyone, but I am 100% sure if you think about it, you'll think of at least a couple of positives! 

The biggest win over here at Bluestocking Society is that we have doubled down on our commitment to our purpose of helping others find theirs.  We have been getting amazing feedback from our clients about how a little push, and a whole lot of support, changed their 2020 for the better.  Our clients are working through a crisis to come out the other side stronger than before.

One of our clients kindly said that "Taylor is well organized, extremely knowledgeable and giving of her time and expertise, which span too far to list. At pivotal points in one's career, she is a solid sounding board. Taylor not only helps to curate directional ideas but implements them into actionable movement." 

That is why Bluestocking was created!  I wanted to help people create bitesize and actionable steps to meet their goals.  Life is so much better when we are living it with purpose; so why not work with us to find your purpose on your terms?

As we go into 2021, let's take a breath and remember what we have gained in 2020. 

Share a positive from 2020 in the comments!
