Build Your Brave Career Podcast
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.
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.

Stressed out. Overworked. Underpaid. Passed over (again… and again… and again). That’s just how it is as a woman in and around the tech industry, right?
Nope. Not around here.
Around here we build the skill of bravery so that we can stress less, work less, and then earn more.
Because this is the Build Your Brave Career podcast.
This podcast is just for you, an experienced woman in the tech industry who is ready to flip the script on the tired sterotype that women like us have to be stressed out, overworked, and underpaid.
We don’t.
In fact, growing your career as a woman in tech can be interesting, enjoyable, and lucrative. Okay, let’s be real: it can be really lucrative.
But we both know that isn’t going to *just* happen, because even with your education, experience, and how much hustle, you’re still stuck. You’re asking yourself: Is all this time and stress actually worth it? Am I really cut out for tech? What am I missing?
Look, I get it because I lived it. That’s why I can help and that’s why this podcast is for you.
First, you’ve got to forget what you’ve been taught: bravery isn’t a personality trait, available only to the brash and bold techbros.
Bravery is a skill, available to everyone, and, as a woman in a male-dominated industry, you already have it. Now you need to build it.
That’s what this podcast is all about.
I’m Nicole Trick Steinbach, your host and the International Bravery Coach.
I’m also a woman in tech. I started as a secretary in a computer science department in 2000 and exited corporate as a global senior director in 2019. In between I lived in Germany for over 13 years and worked in over 25 countries.
During my corporate career, I led matrixed project teams all over the world to drive forward large strategic programs. I also coached and consulted upcoming leaders and experts craft their fulfilling and lucrative careers.
Now, I run my own business as an organizational change management consultant and certified coach. My individual clients are women like you who are ready to craft and uplevel your brave career.
Build Your Brave Career episodes are a mixture of conversations and solo episodes.
Every conversation is with a fellow women in tech to share how they built their brave careers as well as the specific advice you can use in your own career.
The solo episodes with me are where I share my frameworks, insights, and principles that you can use to reduce your stress, cut your overwork, and ensure you are well-paid while you enjoy your career.
Each episode is curated to support you in your career growth. We talk about setting and achieving unique career goals, nurturing your network, establishing and cultivating boundaries, reducing stress with mindset and strategy, building functional and interpersonal skills, increasing total compensation, navigating the job market, and so much more.
Building the skill of bravery is the most powerful way to create the career and life you really want. You can be a woman in and around tech who stresses less, works less, and earns more.

Are you ready to stress less, work less, and earn more? Then you are ready for the Build Your Brave Framework.
In this episode, I share two truths — bravery is a skill, not a personality trait and you can build the skill of bravery — to then walk you through how you can build your bravery right away.
Using the Build Your Brave framework you can achieve any goal that you set: sleep better, feel calmer, work less, enjoy better relationships, thrive in more interesting work, land that promotion, spend less, earn more, and everything in between.
The Build Your Brave framework has three parts:
Clarity – “I set clear, specific goals andsharethem with people around me.”
Momentum – “Ispend just as much time feeling my way to success as I do working towards it.”
Accountability – “I choose who I want to become and do the work to become her.”
My clients radically transform their entire lives, one brave moment at a time. You can too.
