  • Summary

  • Women in tech are just stressed out, overworked, overlooked, and underpaid, right? NOPE! Not around here. Around here we build the skill of bravery to stress less, work less, and then earn more as women in tech. At this point in your career, you're more educated, skilled, and experienced than most of your colleagues, but you are also more stressed, working more, and are pretty sure you’re underpaid. And you are done accepting the status quo. You are ready to get what you’ve already earned and then grow your career even further…without burning out. You don’t know how you’re going to do it (yet!) but you suspect the process will require you to be braver. Enter the Build Your Brave Career podcast. Build Your Brave Career is the podcast to help you build the skill of bravery, one episode at a time, so you make the bold moves and big leaps required to craft a career of more impact and income... with less stress and overwork. Tune in each week for a mix of guest conversations and solo episodes to learn how to build the skill of bravery. We explore the skill of bravery and the role it plays in your career and life including, stressing less, taking decisive action, working less, career growth, relationship building for career success, crafting purpose and fulfillment, salary increases and negotiations, overcoming obstacles, and sharing concrete tips and tricks for career satisfaction. Your host, Nicole Trick Steinbach is the international bravery coach... but bravery is not something that has ever come naturally to her. Instead, she learned through success and failure how to develop and harness the skill of bravery to create an empowering, lucrative, and global career. And it worked: Nicole is a former executive in the technology industry without a background in tech, has worked in over 25 countries while running transformational change projects, and is now at home in both the US and Germany. Today Nicole is a certified and proven one-on-one coach who supports women around the world to build their brave careers, focusing on bespoke approaches for each client to stress, work less, and earn more.

  • Stop Saving the Day: Why Rescuing Isn’t Leadership and What to Do Instead

    Stop Saving the Day: Why Rescuing Isn’t Leadership and What to Do Instead
    Nov 17 2024

    Can you love your colleagues enough to let them experience the consequences of their behavior?

    Women in tech are great at solving problems. But sometimes we leap in to protect others from their errors and shoulder burdens that aren’t ours. It slows down our careers and increases our stress.

    This episode unpacks how stepping back, setting boundaries, and trusting others to handle their responsibilities empowers not just your colleagues but also yourself. You’ll hear real-world strategies to navigate these situations with courage, kindness, and clarity.

    Key Takeaways:

    • How societal conditioning impacts women in tech.
    • Why rescuing others is not the same as being a team player or leader.
    • The power of discomfort as a catalyst for growth.
    • How respecting others’ growth creates space for your own.

  • You matter: Embrace Bravery and Resilience Through Difficult Events

    You matter: Embrace Bravery and Resilience Through Difficult Events
    Nov 11 2024

    You matter.
    Especially during difficult events:

    • Choosing to bravely recognize and believe in your inherent worth is brave.
    • Deciding that your voice deserves to be heard, that your dreams, goals, career, relationships, and money matter is brave.
    • Getting and staying involved in building the community, career, life, and world you desire is brave.

    This week I address the emotional fallout after the most recent US elections. This is a dedicated brave space for women in tech who are grappling with emotions ranging from sadness to anger, fear, and betrayal. Wherever you are, know that your feelings are valid and that you matter.

    I share some of two of the quotes helping me through this time:

    • “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.” -Star Trek
    • “I never lose. I either win or I learn.” -Nelson Mandela

    I also share a small slice of how my family's past drives my commitment to making brave choices for a better future.


    This episode is a powerful reminder to embrace your inherent worth, your right to feel, and your right to take up space in the world.


    Remember: you matter.

  • Bravery Doesn’t Have to Be Hard: Real Stories from Women in Tech

    Bravery Doesn’t Have to Be Hard: Real Stories from Women in Tech
    Nov 3 2024

    Bravery doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, bravery in your career as a woman in tech can be simple, nurturing, collaborative, and even easy.

    For women in tech who often feel that being brave at work means facing monumental stress, this episode will give you a fresh and empowering perspective.

    Through two unique client stories, I illustrate how bravery may start in moments of discomfort but end with greater confidence, ease, and more personal and professional growth.

    Bravery can include speaking up in meetings, asking more questions, setting boundaries, and expecting you get the respect, visibility, and pay you deserve.

    This episode serves as a guide for you to redefine bravery in a modern, holistic way, and taking action that brings you closer to your goals and dreams.
